Ben Silver- Ethereal World (2004)

Orchard Lounge 
Live at The Belly Up in Aspen, Colorado
November 11, 2012

This set featured an eclectic blend of sounds on the chill tip. From head-nodding downtempo to old school fusion and on to acid-y beats and breaks.  We had a lot of fun playing this set and it was different than what we were spinning for most of the shows around that time.

Rayless

Ben Silver- Rayless (December 2016)

I felt like playing a set that was funkier than usual and with a bit more of a party vibe for this 5 hour set at South Bowl in Philadelphia. There's a wide range of tempos here and I started off with some of my favorite downtempo beats and breaks, even touching on jazz, drum n bass, and hiphop. However as the night progressed the dance floor was the focus and it's all big basslines and weird funky house and techno.

Special thanks to Rich Steele for mastering this set.

Ben Silver- "Lost In Twin Peaks" (December 2011)

14 years ago I recorded a party mix using nothing but old school breakdance electro-funk and hip-hop records from 1982-1985. Instead of uploading it, I had an idea of "Revisiting" this old mix by digging out all of the records and making a brand new, remixed version of it for 2017. Ever since I was a little kid bumping Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" on my Fischer Price boombox I've been obsessed with this music. From the 808 drums and funky electro basslines to the robotic roller-rink jam vocals, it still rocks the party.

Tracklist:
Ben Silver- Linoleum Streets (Revisited)

01. Graffiti Is Not An Art intro
02. Paul Hardcastle- Forest Fire (1985) 
03. Newcleus- Cyborg Dance (1985)

Ben Silver Live From CampBisco 2006 (Mid-Tempo Set)

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 "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."

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.
