Operating doctrine
Policies
Seven consistent components. Every event runs on these.
-
Vibe
Dark is a vibe, not a BPM. Mood-first, genre-agnostic. The filter every track on a SLIST lineup runs through.
Read -
Trust
Five cancel wars. Two cities. The community defended SLIST every time, before there was money in it.
Read -
Sound
Booked DJs are asked to play deeper than usual. Mood-first curation across a 6-hour arc. Dark is the constant.
Read -
Code & etiquette
Floor is sacred. Phones in pockets. Minimal talking. Zero tolerance for harassment. Look out for each other.
Read -
Door
Loose security. Tight community. Energy gatekept, not identity. The list is a curation tool, not an exclusion tool.
Read -
Refund
Tickets are non-refundable but transferable. Buy with intention. Stand in your decision.

Venue rules
We respect every room we use. The venue's rules are SLIST rules for the night.
