Style Matters is the brainchild of Chicago DJ collective, Orchard Lounge. Along with Bethany Lokken and Ben Silver, we've been spinning our own brand of electronic funk together since you started writing "20__ "on your personal checks. Having spun at just about every last lounge and club in Chicago, we've played alongside such reputable acts as the Disco Biscuits, Future Rock, Brothers Past, the New Deal, Metro Area, Lindstrom, Booka Shade, Kevin Yost, K-OS, DJ T, and RJD2, to name a few. In addition to being the core founders of the company, when not performing for higher-end events, we continue to focus our energies on Orchard Lounge, our own original compositions and productions, and exposing the masses to sounds you may not have previously been familiar with. Sharing an affinity for a range of different styles of music, from funk and soul to classic hip hop, downtempo and house to classical and jazz, we've always prided ourselves on our versatility. It's this characteristic, and this characteristic alone, that was the root of what we now call Style Matters.
Due to overwhelming (and honestly, unexpected) demand, Style Matters added five well known industry DJs to the roster in 2007: Nate, Duke, Marco, Max, and Margot. A quintet of hugely talented music aficionados, they all have their own independent style, but share the same vision. And what might that vision be, you ask? We'd like to work for people who want to create a unique and incredibly enjoyable experience for their guests, not provide them with yet another evening of the staples people grew tired of years ago. We're not complete snobs, such standard silliness can certainly be great fun, but we prefer to play for the more discerning of dance floors. That is, for the people who understand tunes by the lowest common denominator artists won't exactly add the edge you might be looking for. We've had countless friends tying the knot recently and we've realized we simply can't take the aural agony of The Chicken Dance, The Macarena, or the Fill in the Blank Slide any longer. If you feel the same way, neither should you. We're all DJs who do what we do because of our deep passion for the music. There's simply too much of it out there to waste people's time on the stuff they've heard a million times before. If you're asking guests to give up a portion of their precious weekend time with you on your wedding day, the music/entertainment is clearly a critical element to concern yourself with. We're just here to make the job that much easier for you.
Take a look at our questions & answers page , it contains just about everything you should ever need to know about how we run our business. It's absurdly detailed, but hey, like Humpty said, "I also like to write" (I'm yet to get busy in a Burger King bathroom, FYI). Now you've got the power to decide whether or not this is a good fit, before ever even having met us. Enjoy.
