Applecross parties are about listening to great music, while immersed in a cool environment. Our DJs were Olivia Button, Windsor Lorefield, and Solange Simondsen--who at the last moment stepped in for the Nachts, who were unavoidably detained. Here are their setlists, with a bit of info about each DJ. If you have not seen these fine DJs perform, go now! p.s. the Nachts will definitely be making an appearance at a future event!
Olivia ButtonOlivia was first interested in playing her favorite indie tunes to the general public when she and her friends created Courage My Love - a little indie club that, although lasted only briefly, but was very dear to her heart. Since then, she has played at The Nightlight Lounge, the Library owned by Athena Elton, The Laundromat and Mixtape.
She is constantly on the hunt for new indie musicians and at the same time, enjoys a variety of killer tunes from the ever growing archives inside her iTunes library. Currently she's digging Broken Bells, the Broken Keys, the Features, the new Arcade Fire and MGMT.

Things Are What You Make Of Them
Solange SimondsenSol is awesome. About a month after Solange was born in SL, she started DJing AND managing The Rooftop Club. Everyone whispered, "She's got to be an alt!" No, she's no alt--she's just that good! When I mentioned to Sol that the Nachts weren't able to make it, she said 'I'm on it," and about 15 minutes later, she had a themed set ready to play. She was great, of course. Sol was also manager of The Gnarled Oak, and is currently a DJ, builder, and Manager of Bombay (b)Indie. Her sets at Bombay, as well as The Laundromat, are eclectic and will make you feel electric.

Windsor LorefieldWinds tells us, "I have been DJing in SL for about a year and a half at The former Rooftop Club, Gnarled Oak, and currently at Bombay (b)Indie, The Laundromat and am now the proprietor of my own club, Hellcat's Oasis Cantina. I was honored and delighted to play at Applecross's Hogwarts event as I am a true Potter geek. My love for Fred and George runs deep. My love for Colleen runs deeper as we share our two husbands...Marc Bolan and Graham Coxon." (Who knew there were so many Harry Potter bands! Oh, and I love you too, Winds!)

Another great Applecross! We got creative at the Odyssey Art and Performance Sim, as we danced in the sky with Kong, and listened to an amazing soundtrack by DJs M4sk, Sam, Dox, and Ducky. Have a look at the Applecross group to see all of the event photos! http://www.flickr.com/groups/1258595@N21/
Big thanks to Belladora Darkfold for hosting this event, to Tamara Scorbal for giving me a tour of this amazing build, to Madison Oller for introducing me to Bella, and to all of the role players who shared the experience of this beautiful sim with for this 'out of character' Applecross event. Congratulations to Bella, and everyone who participated in the fantastic design and build of Hogwarts Prevails -- we were so pleased to have this opportunity for a peek into the Potterverse.
