Guest Announcement: Police Create Hippies
Police Create Hippies, born and raised in Milwaukee, is an up-and-coming DJ in the dance music scene. Police Create Hippies began as a duo experimenting with DJing as well as live sampling and drum sequencing. “I started out doing little DJ shows with my best friend, Ryan, for our friends and we quickly started making connections with people over our love for all kinds of music. I love pretty much every genre in some way and I think that’s what draws people to us. I’m always approaching my sets with an open mind and I never want to stick to the same vibe the entire time.” While a Police Create Hippies set can end up encompassing just about any genre given the environment, the soul and core has consistently been found in dance music. “The main genre I enjoy djing however, would have to be described as upbeat and funky dance music. I’m inspired a lot by a lot of 70s soul records and 80s jams my parents used to play and those kinds of rhythms and vibes often come out in my mixes.” Aside from DJing and Producing, Police Create Hippies, also co-owns the SoundWRX recording studio on Milwaukee’s east side. “There I’ve been learning how to engineer, mix and master, record vocals, etc. The plan now is to work on releasing my original music and incorporating it more in my dj sets. I’m very excited to show everyone what I’ve been working towards for the past few years.”
