DJ Nemesis (Friday Night)
Anyone who has attended a CON*tourage party knows that the MUSIC is just as important as the theme, costumes, atmosphere and partiers in attendance.
Those hard at work behind the mysterious CON*tourage curtain realized early on, when starting their Dragon*Con 2010 party planning, that with such unique and exciting party themes (HEAVY METAL PARTY II and HERO vs VILLAIN PARTY), acquiring master DJs would be both the cherry AND icing on their homemade party cakes. With one DJ, it was an immediate fit and a match made in Hell when paired with CON*tourage’s HEAVY METAL PARTY. With the other, the search took longer but the outcome couldn’t have been better. Good things come to those who wait and due to that, the HERO vs VILLAIN PARTY will witness a true web spinning, from one of the leggiest Spiders around.
For anyone who has met DJ Nemesis, it can’t be denied how much energy and enthusiasm he has not only for his art of DJ’ing but also for life in general. CON*tourage first acquired DJ Nemesis for one of their parties at Dragon*Con 2009 and the pairing fit so perfectly that there was no doubt that lightning would strike twice. Nemesis, who mastered the beat in his early teens, was a drummer-turned-DJ who honed his craft for the next decade in Industrial, Heavy Metal, and Glam Rock bands including Planet Psycho, FUSEBOX and The Glitterdome Allstar Band. Ever since 2001, he has continued to inspire the evolution of his coveted underground subculture scene and leads the charge at album and movie release parties, fetish events, club nights and conventions. Nemesis is also the resident DJ for www.secretroom.net events in Atlanta and Tampa. Although Nemesis excels at Industrial/EBM/Synthpop /Goth and more, partiers during CON*tourage’s HEAVY METAL PARTY II can expect him to mix out well-known Metal anthems that will keep everyone pumping their fists and flashing some DEVIL HORNS all night long.

DJ Nemesis will also be spinning the DRAGON DANCE, Saturday night during Dragon*Con, from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. in the Marriott Marquis Atrium Ballroom. This will be his third year in a row taking charge and moving hundreds of bodies. Dragon*Con badge required for entry.

DJ Spider (Saturday Night)
DJ SPIDER to spin her musical web at Saturday night’s HERO VS. VILLAIN PARTY
Primarily a Goth/industrial DJ with a healthy dose of 80s, Pop and Electro, DJ Spider has spun a variety of formats over the years, which means anything is bound to show up in her sets, described as “vibrant”, “surprising”, “kick-ass”, and “Omigod, is she really that tall?” And, in addition to this leggy Spider being one kick-ass DJ, she is also a master costumer, which is another reason she is a perfect fit for the CON*tourage HERO vs VILLAIN PARTY, asking attendees to don their favorite hero or villain costume. DJ Spider, based out of Charlotte, NC, has a reputation as a both a DJ and an entertainer, which both have been been highly rated, as is her commitment to maintaining a Drama-Free Zone. She has opened for the Cruxshadows, the Last Dance, Voltaire, Anders Manga, Bella Morte, and Das Ich. She is no stranger to conventions either, having appeared at Chattanooga’s ConNooga, Minneapolis’ CONvergence, and her beloved Dragon*Con in Atlanta. DJ Spider was honored to be voted “Charlotte’s Best Party DJ” for the last 5 years (2006-2010) by the Creative Loafing. Regardless of the size, Spider’s goal is always to make any night the best experience possible for everyone there. In her free time, Spider can be found pretending to sleep, crafting costumes, indulging in various geekery and maintaining a number of pets. And, yes, she really is that tall.
