You may know him as one-third of Orchard Lounge, the long-running Chicago-based DJ collective. The trio's all-night tag-team sets blend psychedelic house, deep bass, melodic techno, and other futuristic, ethereal sounds. Orchard Lounge has held residencies at clubs around the country, including Smartbar in Chicago, Vagabond in Miami and Love in New York. They’ve gigged at legendary venues like Red Rocks and Hammerstein Ballroom, at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Coachella, Electric Forest, and Electric Zoo, and alongside artists Steve Bug, Nicolas Jaar, Lee Foss, DJ T, and many others.Ben also regularly performs as a solo act all across the country.

    This is my extended 3 hour set from Valentines Day 2020 live at Elevation27 in Virginia Beach.

Thank you Rich Steele for mastering the...

  6. Ben Silver "Mach 1" (October 2019)

    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,...

  7. Ben Silver - Parallels (November 2018)

    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...

  8. Ben Silver- Linoleum Streets (Revisited) 2017

    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…

  9. Ben Silver- Live at South Bowl (5 Hour Set) 3/25/17

    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....

  10. Ben Silver- Rayless (December 2016)

    New mix of moody tracks for the end of 2016, a year often shrouded in darkness. Throughout these rayless periods, we develop a greater appreciation for the light when it does come back around. This DJ mix has been scored visually by the video artists, 75Ω (Cheyene Grow & Ryan Peru). What you see…

  13. Ben Silver- Warp Zone (2005)

    I recorded this all-vinyl DJ mix almost 11 years ago, hard to believe it has been so long. I still love these tracks and my style has not changed much as I have always been into the the deep and tech-y side of house. I have some other old mixes I will dig out as well. Tracklisting: booka shade -...
