SLUSHIE DISCO 7/21/24

Slushie Disco is a daytime disco and balearic party currently happening once a month at the Substation in NW Seattle. It features resident DJs Ben Meadow, Robin Burrowes and Crash Landon along with guests from among the finest DJs in the Seattle scene and beyond. The concept is a mix of the chiller side of dance music - Slo-mo Disco, Balearic, Downtempo and anything else under 120 bpm - with frozen adult beverages and enjoyed in a sunny, outdoor, laid back setting.

The July 21st Edition features guests DJs Rachel Vick and Austin Robertson who will be joined by resident Robin Burrowes.

ABOUT THE DJS:

RACHEL VICK

Born in Cleveland, OH, Rachel Vick grew up within sounds of classic, folk, and alternative rock. She developed a strong sense of songwriting and melody from her time spent in piano lessons and choir rehearsals throughout her school years. She would go on to write songs on the acoustic guitar and gig in pubs, which sparked a soul mission to share the music within. The stars aligned when she later became engrossed in the indie electronic genre, leading her to the bliss and freedom of house music.

Now thriving in Seattle, Rachel takes the stage with intention and passion, whether to sing along to her own music, or to set the tempo for the party as a DJ. Her productions combine bright and playful melodies with driving house percussion, fusing songwriting skill and passion for house and indie dance music. She has releases on Popgang Records, Late Night Munchies, Uniting Souls, Tilted, and Feral One Recordings, and has provided support for artists including Soichi Terada, Black Loops, Chez Damier, Jaques Greene, Ardalan, and Kettama.

AUSTIN ROBERSTON

Austin Roberson is a Seattle-based DJ who specializes in finding the liminal space between groovy and psychedelic dance music. He runs Routine which specializes in bringing top DJs around the world who specialize in bass-influenced techno.
