A Llama Says Hello!

My name is Ghosty Kips, and I am the newest addition to the list of great DJs at The Velvet. Well, some people think I'm a great DJ; I'm a bit too modest for all that. I just like doing what I do, and hopefully, you will like it too.

I'll be making my debut with a 2-hour set on Friday, September 27th at 7pm SL time. It somehow ended up that I'll be doing a prog rock set (Longer songs! Less work!), and if all that flourish and flamboyance is too much, I know a bunneh we can affix blame to. But I don't think that'll be necessary. Future sets will likely be more along the lines of what-do-I-feel-like-playing-now affairs (I like everything from EDM, to post-punk, to good old classic rock), and the occasional theme set might happen from time to time.

Anyway, enough babble. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you on Friday, and I hope you enjoy the music I'll bring to The Velvet.

Autumn Mood

I'm still in an Autumn mood from this weekend's Metachromism event, so today I'm continuing with some chill tunes, like this dreamy song by La Sera.  Enjoy!

Metachromatism at the Velvet: September 21, 12PM through 11PM

The end of summer is more than just a shortening of days and advent of cooler weather, more than autumn’s opening act. Autumn brings the stunning majesty of the changing leaves, the crisp furnace air near a bonfire with friends. Autumn brings us new activities: football, a fresh school year, Homecoming dances, pies baking in the oven, new constellations in the sky, the shortening of days, warm blankets at night.

With all the reds and gold, ochres and umbers to be found during this season, Velvet invites you to come share a weekend with us rejoicing and relaxing in a splendid park. We'll have some of SL's finest DJs paying tribute to the beauty, transformation, and the decay of autumn, highlighted by a spectacular light show. On the day before Equinox, the celestial event when light and darkness reach the state of balance, the magnificence and the poignancy of the season will form a similar balance musically.

Join us as we play season-inspired music and shake like the autumnal winds until there's nothing left on the trees but the echoes of the last song played.
