LowkeydintheHouse - Space Yacht PNW at Monkey Loft, Seattle (05.24.24)

It's been a while since I posted a mix...Several years ago, I was part of a very special night. LOST was an outlet for me to connect with my friends, community, and music on a monthly basis. Started with my best friend Sean Majors, we aimed to create a showcase that made our family the headliners in front of our own community—the people we saw week in and week out at various house nights in Seattle. Being part of this night was the crowning achievement of my almost 3 decade long DJ career. At the end, I felt we told a story with a proper beginning and a heartfelt end, leaving all my artistic energy on the Monkey Loft dancefloor. For those who experienced it, thank you for being part of our family, our commune, our sanctuary.

In the end, I felt that my 27-year journey took its toll on my mind, body and soul. The analogy that comes to me lately is that DJing is akin to human space travel. One can only survive in orbit for so long before the conditions of weightlessness start to deteriorate your body. Playing a great set at Monkey Loft leaves you feeling weightless, on cloud nine, and it's hard to come down to earth due to the levity provided by the energy that rises from the dancefloor. At the end of LOST, I felt it was mandatory to come back to earth, recharge my soul, get in touch with my spirit, and most importantly, give all my energy to my family.

On July 19th, 2024, I had the opportunity to play a set on the Monkey Loft Deck for Space Yacht, the best place to DJ in Seattle. I realized the gravity of the set I was about to play and practiced for weeks on end, knowing that the Monkey Loft dancefloor required my best. This new mix is my live set from that night, and I am very happy with it. Little did I know that it took a Space Yacht to propel my "Return To Orbit." Back to the place I feel most comfortable, DJing in front of my favorite crowd in the world—the Seattle faithful dancers.

Thank you to Tony H. for providing the ship, Seattle for providing the space, and most importantly, my fiancée, Andrea Perez, for giving me the fuel to create this mix.I love you all and look forward to sharing many more dancefloors with you in the years to come.

Love,

Gene Lee

Quality House Music From Seattle, WA USA

Founded in early 1998, the goal was to consistently put out records that would be loved and played by many in the house music community. Viva Recordings found success with its first debut from Johnny Fiasco and the with Rick Preston's Altruism EP, which gained notoriety when "Spring Fling" was featured on Mark Farina's San Francisco Sessions Vol.1. From these early releases the road was paved for Viva Recordings' success. Over the last few years we have been working on personal projects but now have decided to bring the label back and take the Viva name back. If you feel your music fits in the scope of our label please send demos to our A&R/Label Manager Chad Neiro at his email.

Seattle DJ specializing in All facets of House music 🪩🕺🏽

Colorado-native LowkeydintheHouse grew up within the sounds of Hip-Hop and R&B. She developed a strong sense of music production and DJing from her time spent at university. Initially starting with producing hip hop and DJing at hip hop events, she would go on to produce and work with music in EDM (such as House and Trap), which sparked a burning desire to stay involved in the EDM culture. Everything all came together when she secured residencies in Colorado for House music events, as well as consistent show appearances on online radio shows, both leading her to the bliss and freedom of house music. 

Now thriving in Seattle, LowkeydintheHouse takes the DJ stage with her high energy sets and innovative sounds. Her skills as a performer has garnered opportunities to provide support for heavy House hitters such as Bleu Clair, Blossom, Lucati, PROPPA, LongStoryShort, Nostalgix, and JOYRYDE. With a knack for creating immersive sets and standout productions, she has performed at iconic venues like Q Nightclub and Monkey Loft. Her expanding discography of remixes and original tracks reflect her passion for the House genre. She has releases on ONE7AUDIO, Sub49 Records, Peace Out Radio, and Low House Records.

I make mixes and the occasional track.

I like long walks on the beach, stars and warm cocoa.

Sharing music with people is very important. Dance music can save a life. <3
Sunny so cal vibes in the dark PNW. 4 Da Ravers. Lets get it.
