Ben Silver - Barriers (Jan 2023)

there have been so many well thought out edits released in recent years, i figured i'd create a mix that highlighted some of my favorites.  many of these original tunes flew under the radar upon their initial release.  others will be immediately recognizable, even to the layman.  i think this mix is a great starting point for people with a discerning ear who may be new to electronic music.  i tried to program it in a way that will leave you wanting more.  in fact, the OL tag line may as well be reversed to "from the couch to the dancefloor" for this one.  that makes more sense to me, as clever rearrangement is the very spirit of this mix.  hopefully these hedonic sounds keep you warm during the winter months.  enjoy.

Everything pushes forward regardless of where it exists. 
This brand new studio mix is an eclectic blend of sounds for this time of transition from warm to cold, light to dark. The journey starts with spaced-out, jazzy "good vibes" tracks and progresses deeper into the void. This mix is a bit of a throwback to some of our older Orchard Lounge mixes as far as the style and build.

Ben Silver - Parallels (November 2018)

Ben Silver "Mach 1" (October 2019)

"There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier."
-Tom Wolfe  "The Right Stuff"

Ben Silver "Mach 1" (October 2019)

This is my extended 3 hour set from Valentines Day 2020 live at Elevation27 in Virginia Beach. I love playing long sets and 3 hours is just long enough to be able to take a journey with the music and touch on certain areas you can't reach with a short set.  

Thank you Rich Steele for mastering the recording.
