When it comes to capitalizing on the hype-y/fun tech news of the moment, New Work City is unparalleled. The co-working space that brought you the fake Color decks and Color.xxx launch party is hosting the first (that we know of) live Turntable.fm event. “Five DJs. Five Laptops. One Night of Collaborative Jams.” NWC is accepting applications for the DJ spots and will select five lucky turntablists to play music for the night. On the site, avatars start bobbing their heads when users “awesome” a song; at the party, guests will vote by dancing. If no one’s dancing, the song gets skipped, making this dance party as democratic as it is hip.
