St. Patrickโs Day, the one day of the year where the Irish people and their culture is celebrated, is very near and dear to NorthLeftโs heart...after all, we were founded by someone who spins under the name Shamrock. It's been said that the sons and daughters of ร๐ช๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฏ have personalities that are a mixture of hot temper, stubbornness, great personal charm, warmth, tolerance and a wit that shines through adversity...but more than anything else, we are known for our ability to celebrate. Even in the worst of times, weโll find a silver lining and raise a glass with our friends and family.
Traditionally, St. Patrickโs Day is known as the Feast of St. Patrick because March 17th often falls in the period of Lent, during which Catholics are expected to give up certain luxuries, in particular, not eating certain kinds of foods and restrictions on the consumption of alcohol. However, one day during this period, for the Feast of St. Patrick, the church lifts all restrictions allowing for the loss of all inhibitions and pursuing vices with reckless abandon. On this day, the Irish stuffed themselves with their favorite foods and drank their favorite whiskey...sometimes a bit too much whiskey. While intended to be a religious holiday honoring Irelandโs patron saint, because of the lifting of moral restraints, it became a celebration of celebrating for celebrationโs sake. More than that, it became a celebration of the Irish people themselves.
So on this St. Patrickโs Day, when everyone is allowed to be Irish for a day and are free to indulge themselves to their heartโs content, thereโs no better music to lose yourself in than that of house. Weโve assembled a collection of some of the best local DJs, all of whom are eclectic in their own way, but are particularly skilled at the craft of house music, to make this a night to remember:
Performing at her first NorthLeft show, ๐๐ฌ๐ฅ (๐๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ด | ๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ญ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต), weโve never had an event better suited her. From a rich Irish background, Colleen Burns, AKA DYR, is an expert executioner of a wide spectrum of genres including house, techno, disco, often weaving multiple genres into a single set. This innovative young DJ has gained a lot of momentum as of late, which is in large part due to her prowess at house. The stark upward trajectory of DYRโs career has given her opportunities to be featured at some of Seattleโs premier venues including the Kremwerk-Timbre Room Complex, Q and Re-Bar. She not only is becoming increasingly prominent in her hometown, she also is branching out internationally, performing at venues in Reykjavik, Iceland and Budapest, Hungary.
Another DJ who has huge momentum right now is ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป (๐๐๐ | ๐๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ค๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ_๐๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด). Since the first of his many NorthLeft performances, Linden has become one of the hardest working DJs in Seattle, with frequent performances all across the city at its most well known venues. Just as the rest of the members of the lineup, Jeremy can spin a plethora of genres, but he particularly excels at house music. An advocate of the Seattle house music scene, being an essential figure in the launching of the Seattle Church of House Music to prominence, he is an expert at straight forward pure house, deep house and his own unique brand of 4/4 with a sound that has heavy house overtones.
If Seattle has a house purist, it is itโs native son ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ (๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฐ 4/4 | ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ด). He is one of the most sought after house DJ/producers in Seattle, especially when it comes to providing support for touring international headliners or performing at events that are local house music institutions. Since its humble origins, house music has evolved into a dynamic genre spanning a wide spectrum of different variations of the core house aesthetic. There is no more knowledgeable student of all these variations than Jesse. While largely focusing on house, he is known for his ability to be eclectic with sets that span house musicโs entire spectrum in a single set.
Lastly, thereโs the hybridic DJ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฎ๐บ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ (๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ฉ๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ต | ๐๐ช๐๐ฏ๐๐๐) whose style typically resides in the gray areas between house and techno. Recently though, heโs rediscovered his house music roots and has been fervently engulfing himself in the genre. However, Shamrock being Shamrock, his recent house sets mash and mangle several subgenres of house into an organized chaotic exploration of 4/4. Largely relying on certain types of tech house, he also integrates progressive house, deep house, deep techno and even some leftfield.
This March 17th may be a Tuesday, but do as the Irish have always done...blow off your responsibilities, donโt think of the consequences until the next day, wear your green and dance the night away with us on this very special night.
While St. Paddyโs is a day of indulgence, if you indulge a bit too much, please make sure to have a designated driver or some other alternative means to get home. We want you home safe.
