Exploring the Underground: Art Department at Beekman Beach Club

Art Department's recent and quick ascent up the international DJ ranks has been undeniably impressive. Compromised of two Canadian born DJs, Johnny White and Kenny Glasgow, Art Department are known for their deep melodic grooves and experimental downtempo beats. You won't find big builds and face-melting drops here, just raw and primal dance music. Their productions are innovative and exciting, the type of dance music that locks you in and refuses to let you go. The drops may be subtle and the beats simple but the experience is anything but predictable. When Johnny grabbed the mic and began singing "Goodbye Horses" (of Silence of the Lambs fame) it was readily apparent that this was no ordinary DJ set. Their name says it all, Art Department is more interested in creating aural artistry than predictable party music. Their sets are an experience and one that needs to be enjoyed live to truly appreciate.
