George Stackpole
Production Manager
Orange Velvet, a driving force in St. Louis’ House Music scene, has spent the past five years redefining the city’s electronic sound with his compelling Tech House sets. Known to friends as George, this redheaded St. Charles native brings a sharp sense of rhythm—honed through years of being a drummer—to every performance, blending deep melodies with punchy basslines. The name Orange Velvet, originally conceived in 2017 for a Temu-like online shopping platform under his Orange Velvet LLC, became his artist moniker when he dove into DJing during the pandemic in 2021. What started as—swapping AUX cord duties at friends’ gatherings—quickly grew into a passion for mixing tracks that’s been electrifying St. Louis’ nightlife culture.
Since his debut, George has become a cornerstone of the local scene, delivering standout performances that have shifted the city’s dubstep-heavy culture toward the vibrant, melodic energy of House Music. His breakthrough came with high-energy sets at venues like Ryse Nightclub in St. Charles, where he opened for global star Nora En Pure and headlined a sold-out New Year’s Eve show in 2022 alongside DJs DMTRY and Von Mitch, keeping the crowd moving until dawn. He’s also left his mark on larger stages, opening for John Summit at Mardi Gras STL, where he energized thousands with his infectious grooves, and sharing lineups with R3WIRE and The Funk Hunters, bringing his signature sound to diverse crowds. Beyond nightclubs, George has been a key figure in St. Louis’ daytime scene, co-hosting multiple brunch events across the city that blend his Tech House beats with a lively, communal vibe, drawing new fans to the genre.
Drawing inspiration from heavyweights like Dom Dolla, Green Velvet, and Solardo, George’s sets are a masterclass in balance—fusing familiar EDM hooks with groovy, bass-driven beats that keep dance floors alive. His ability to read a room and craft immersive experiences has made him a go-to act for local promoters looking to elevate their events. By blending Chicago’s soulful house roots with the sun-soaked, tech-heavy sounds of Phoenix and Scottsdale, Orange Velvet has introduced St. Louis audiences to a fresh sound that’s both accessible and innovative, earning him a loyal following. Beyond the decks, he’s committed to growing the House Music community in St. Louis, mentoring new DJs and collaborating with local talent to push the genre forward. With plans to step into the studio and produce original tracks, Orange Velvet is poised to take his sound beyond the Midwest, aiming to leave a lasting mark on the global House Music scene, one unforgettable set at a time.
