It’s Friday. It’s 3:30 p.m. on the East Coast. You know what that means: time to head on over to Mashable‘s Summer Fridays Turntable.fm room and get down with your inner DJ.
If you’re still unfamiliar with Turntable, know this: It is the lovechild of streaming music services and social media. You and dozens of other cartoonish avatars stand and chat in a virtual club. Five folks at a time get to DJ their tunes, from Turntable’s extensive library or from their own machines. If you like the music, your avatar bobs its head and the DJ gets points. If enough people don’t, the song gets skipped.
This afternoon, thanks to our friends and Turntable room partners over at Musebox, we’ve got a lineup of New York underground artists as guest DJs. There’s hip-hop musician Max Burgandy, a recent star of Mashable‘s Music Monday series. We’ve also got Eric Eisler from scrappy four-piece The Dig, and all-star singer-songwriter Anna Rose.
So come one, come all, and head-bob with us here.
