Conspirator
ROCKING THEIR WAY ONTO YOUR STEREO, THE DANCE FLOOR AND YOUR
HEARTS: CONSPIRATOR (FEATURING MEMBERS OF THE DISCO BISCUITS)
PREPARE TO UNLEASH UNLOCKED: LIVE FROM THE GEORGIA THEATER APRIL
10 WITH CROSS COUNTRY TOUR DATES TO SUPPORT THE RELEASE
Conspirator features Aron Magner and Marc Brownstein (The Disco Biscuits keyboardist
and bass player) as an outlet to channel their electronic mad scientist personae.
Formed in 2004 with New York DJ/producer DJ Omen, Conspirator has taken on many
forms through the years. With the recent addition of virtuoso guitarist Chris Michetti and
a rotating cast of some of the country's best drummers – Darren Shearer (the New
Deal), Mike Greenfield (Lotus), KJ Sawka (Pendulum) and Adam Deitch (Break Science,
Pretty Lights) – Conspirator has reached another level.
2011 was a seminal year for the group with groundbreaking performances at the Ultra
Music Festival, Nocturnal Festival, Electric Forest Festival and Camp Bisco 10 as well
as sold out shows at the Gramercy Theatre in NYC, Pearl Street in Northampton, MA,
the Fox Theater in Boulder and the Bluebird Theatre in Denver. As a full band, the
music is hitting new highs and killing in the live show. With the addition of an arsenal of
new material, more crowds across the nation have begun to embrace this remarkable
outfit.
Unlocked - Live from the Georgia Theatre (release date April 10, 2012) captures the
spirit of these true genre blenders. The collection is a smorgasbord of electronic rock
bliss, delving, twisting and diving effortlessly between house, dub-step, drum and bass,
and electro. Coming off of break-out performances at Ultra Music Festival and Nocturnal
Festival, Conspirator has begun to catch the eye of electronic music aficionados
everywhere. Upcoming tour date highlights will include headlining shows at Irving
Plaza, The Trocadero, The Orange Peel, Georgia Theater, the Fox Theater and more as
well as supporting slots with Lotus at the Congress Theater and The Pageant.
Yes, it is the Year of the Dragon but barring the Mayan prediction coming true for 2012,
this should be Conspiratorʼs year as well.

Orchard Lounge
Downtempo, space disco, house, tech, b-boy era electro, hip hop, soul, and funk â€" if you can move, Orchard Lounge will back you up. Formed in Chicago in 2000, OL is the collective of Ben Silver, Spencer Lokken and Bethany Lokken. This versatile trio has enlightened dance floors nationwide with their eclectic mixes, from sunset chill-out to bass-dropping tech house, and an array of other futuristic sounds. Theirs is a democratic mission: to expose as many people as possible to the artists they admire and respect. What sets Orchard Lounge apart from other club DJs is, well, you won't always find them in the club. In recent years they've built a reputation as a hard-touring festival act and set-break crowd favorite, frequently supporting The Disco Biscuits, Sound Tribe Sector 9, The New Deal and Future Rock. They've also played alongside heavyweights like Bonobo, Lindstrom, DJ T, Jamie Jones, Booka Shade, Metro Area, and Kevin Yost. As The Disco Biscuits' de facto hype men (and woman), they've had the rare pleasure of performing for thousands at world famous venues like Red Rocks and the Hammerstein Ballroom, constantly keeping the crowd engaged with a unique mix of turntable and live-band improvisation.
Outside the booth, the members of Orchard Lounge continue making music: Spencer is a classically-trained violinist and regularly plays with a trio in Chicago; Ben has studied guitar for more than ten years, and continues to write and produce. Bethany quit the clarinet in college and has never looked back. Despite their affinity for live music, OL's focus hasn't shifted since the group's inception almost a decade ago: to provide sophisticated and stylish DJ sets that are appropriate in a variety of settings, from the dancefloor to the couch.
Wyllys
2010 was a HUGE year for Wyllys and this year is on its way to becoming historic. With the debut of his new band The New York Hustler Ensemble feat the Trey Anastasio Horns and his 2 marathon DJ sets on Jam Cruise, Wyllys is set to join the ranks of the electronic touring elite. Be on the lookout for new mixes on www.soundcloud.com/wyllys as well as some production releases at the end of the year. Chicago raised, New England strong. Wyllys is the original party monster.
NVO
The Neurovoltaic Orchestra (NVO) is a 4-piece electro-rock band based in San Francisco. NVO combines acoustic instrumentation with live electronic production elements to create a truly hybrid sound that is instantly recognizable, yet hard to categorize. Described by one fan as "dirty space funk," NVO's high-energy music will definitely get the dance floor moving.
