Green Velvet

And it's even bigger than usual this year with Dom Dollar at Marvel Stadium tonight.

I think DJ Hard String playing at Walshed and Dom Dollar back playing with Green Velvet at Walshed on Sunday.

And on the underground scene, Killing Time, celebrating its 18th birthday.

On Chapel Street, where I'll be on Saturday night.

And I feel like DJs play such a big part in like the culture like continuing.

You know, I was just around, I just played a show with like Green Velvet and Clooney in El Paso.

And I never met Green Velvet before, but we had a really nice interaction there.

He's the best.

Yeah, he's the best.

You've remixed Sia, Sophie Tucker, Zurb.

You've shared the stage with Green Velvet, Jamie Jones, A-Track.

Let's go back to the beginning of Mia Moretti.

That's so crazy to

So Travi loves a good DJ set, right? And he'll come to our mate, he'll come to the, yep, on the Thursday night and he was a bit pissed.

He was like, I wish he had a Dennis because he's playing with Tareen Foote, who I love, and Green Velvet, right? Anyway.

Mm-hmm.

Black velvet

Anyway, and then

my husband says to me, you've got to fucking be joking.

He's fucking playing a side thing at the Woolshed, which is a great venue, with Green Velvet.

Anyway, that night he comes home.

Chris Lake's remix from 2024.

It's green velvet with the percolator here on the drop.

What a great song from 1992.

Sound like the old coffee pot going off.

I did one party with him for his showcase.

Then he like introduced me to other promoters that booked me for Green Velvet, La La Land party.

And so, you know, just the fact that I was... humble enough because some people I some people just want to stay backstage you know they don't want to mingle whatever that that's fine that's fair but I was actually you know down to go to the dance floor talk to people there regardless of status what you do blah blah blah and then look at that years later it's like the universe paid me back for having that interaction right

I love that.

Right.

Now, you guys have had some heavyweights like Green Velvet, Chase West, Sosa, Beltran have supported you guys.

You guys are both classically trained musicians, which I think is crazy.

You've had releases on Insomniac.

Yeah, it's just a really cool journey, especially just growing up as a musician in Chicago.

I got to see the behind the scenes of everything.

You know, Curtis Green Velvet, when I got to meet him and told him, like, dude, like, I don't know if you know this, but like, I really look up to you because you kind of helped shape a bunch of the sound today.

And let alone you still kind of reach out and do your part and follow up with the younger generation.

Over the next hour I'll be bringing you some of my favourite sounds across Tech House, Bass House and Melodic Techno.

Coming up on the show, we've got tracks from Max Styler, West End, Side Piece, Green Velvet, and a new ID from myself, Labro, called Flexin'.

Also new on this show is the Discovery Lab.

Each month I'll be showcasing some rising talent, this week with tracks from Sam Stoker and Catwork.

Wow, what energy with that.

Hot Sauce with Miss Monique and Capuchin, Afrojack's Tech House alias.

Before that we had tracks from Sidepiece, Green Velvet and Run It by Cielo on Phish's Catch and Release label.

Next up we have I Wanna Rock by Bartz, a bit of Disco Lines and then Appetite by the production god himself, Chris Lorenzo.
