I am going to be playing a gig from 9-11 for an art show but I have no idea, I was thinking about going in there and throwing down some deep house and then moving it into electro house ( he said he wanted a dance party at the end) but i don't really know what they would want.
what kind of art?
IMHO
- Art Department (NO pun intended)
- Will Saul & Tam Cooper
- Seth Troxler
- Cio d' Or
- Dozzy Donato
- Echologist
- Matthew Dear/Audion
- Robag Wruhme
- Wighnomy Bros
- Agoria
- Carl Craig
Used a blend of this for a gallery opening - was deep, dark & sleazy - then eased into deep/tech house. Worked a treat.
I've done numerous "art show" gala's in my time. Usually the planner will like upbeat stuff that is not too "hard" usually without much vocal. I tend to use a lot of buddah bar type music that seems to cater to the all ages type crowd. Google "cafe del mar" as a good starting point IMO. Good luck. My advice, remember....this isnt an electro-house party....people still have to chat and interact while the music is playing. lol
Depending on the vibe..
IDM Glitch Down-tempo can be extremely engaging, and provide a really pleasurable sound scape, with ought being to overbearing...
Suggest looking up:
Bluetech
Boards of Canada

Wish I had more suggestions in this genre group, its one I have become quite fond of recently...
....lounge as fuck.
Boards of Canada ftw!
Also, Telefone tel Aviv, some Amon Tobin, Bonobo, Autechre (tri-repetae++ album specifically). Just throwin' a few more ideas your way Mr. Grant.
