House Music DJ | Indianapolis, Indiana | Jackola

Download my set from the Oranje Peel Party!

jackola — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:06:15 +0000

I had a BLAST playing this past Saturday @ Oranje’s Peel Party at Talbott Street Nightclub. The crowd was huge, the floor was moving and Matthew Lawless was painting up a storm while I laid out the beats. Within you’ll find almost 3 hours of electro, tribal, tech house and more.

The party was a preview of Oranje, an art & music festival which hits Indy on September 18, 2010. I’ll be playing at the IndyMojo.com Electronic Stage (main stage!), so look out for that .
