ATL Artist Industry Mixer Event @ Sledge Lounge Fri 12/20


So today I finally attended a Schweinbeck Music Industry Mixer event.  I had been meaning to go for awhile as the woman who runs it also went to the same university as I, and had been inviting me to these events on Facebook for forever.

Come to find out, the most recent one (not sure about all) was hosted at the Sledge Lounge off Buford Hwy near Chamblee and Doraville and in planning what to do for the night Google Maps conveniently “told” me “Yo ninja Darris. This mixer event is like 8 min. from you and you aren’t doing anything. Dat move is?)” and I agreed with G.M.

Sledge Lounge was actually quite a welcome relief to some of the bigger venues I’d been going too and was very chill and intimate, despite the heavy playlist of street and gangsta rap from Local ATL Artists. Prospects attempting to make their way into the music scene of Atlanta were on stage and members of the industry itself, journalists, and PR agents were all there networking as well. I arrived somewhat late (around 11 p.m., two hours after it started) and proceeded to the bar before snapping pictures and videos which will be uploaded soon,

Diana Schweinbeck, business and artist management agent, hosts the Industry Mixer events and has been holding them in Atlanta for the past two years. Many up-and-coming and even established artists, producers, radio personalities and DJs attend her “mixer” events. As someone breaking into the industry myself #BIGTHUMBSUP

Some stylish music for rap/choreo. Parov Stelar’s “Booty Swing”


Parov Stelar – Booty Swing [Classical EDM Music]

I like me some Parov Stelar. He produces some great stuff with a jazz, classical vibe mixed with electronic influence. Many of his songs feature saxophones used in ways even my dad might appreciate (and he hates my music, or at least he used to).

Funny my grandfather was a saxophonist…..
This song & Chambermaid Swing (from the alcohol commercial) are two personal favorites. You can find Youtube Videos for each and Youtube Remix Music Videos (where people synced old-timey dance video’s with Stelar’s neo-classical elecrtro-dance songs).

Again not local ATL sorry, but good music nonetheless. Local acts coming soon!!
