One of the biggest events taking place during the together festival. If you are a fan of electronic music this is one event not to be missed.
Orchard Lounge is a collective of DJs that formed in Chicago around 2000. The trio of Ben Silver, Spencer Lokken, and Bethany Lokken, focus on performing for the more discerning of dance floors, and are commonly known to appeal to open-minded and diverse audiences. They've never let their passion for the beat confine them to a single genre, as their sets may include anything from laid back downtempo/IDM to hypnotic tech house and b-boy era electro. Don't be surprised if you hear an entire night of music dedicated to the sounds that have heavily influenced them as DJs either: they all share an affinity for classic hip hop, rock, funk, and soul, as well. This is the reasoning behind "OL: From the Dance Floor to the Couch". It's the appropriate defining phrase for the group because of their innate programming and record selection skills, as well as their talents in creating an experience for most any state of mind or environment. Some may label this as being versatile, however the three simply consider themselves serious music lovers with similar, albeit eclectic, interests. At the very core, they're highly enthusiastic individuals full of praise for the producers whose names appear on their records. To that end, they've always fully understood their role as middle(wo)man, and if they are to accept the coveted role of tastemaker, they want it to soley benefit the artists whom they all admire.
OL is consistently looking for new opportunities to play records for those who appreciate music that may be a bit off the beaten path, and are always open to new ideas that will break down barriers of dance music. That said, it looks as if 2009 is going to be a momentous year for Orchard Lounge. They've never been more hungry to spread their brand of DJing to the world, and they're all eager to explore untouched new territory. They're scheduled to make frequent trips out of state, have recently delved into the world of production, founded a side project called Style Matters (that caters to people throwing higher end events), have been invited to be a part of massive music festivals, and are involved in a plethora of big name shows around the country. Please check back often, as the events schedule and fliers are constantly being updated.
See you on the dance floor. Or the couch.
