Flipside Memphis - Dish

Often overlooked in Memphis music history is its electronic music. It started out in the rave days of the 80s, hiding from police in abandoned warehouses and semi-legal house parties, and has grown steadily through the years into a thriving scene led by beat dropping DJs such as Mr. White and Sean OD.

The epicenter of Memphis electro is Dish, a restaurant and lounge located on the corner of Cooper and Young. Dish is a tapas-style restaurant by day, but after 9 it transforms into a dream disco, complete with a bed where tired dancers can lounge while nursing their cocktails. So remember, guitar slingers: your music may get more attention, but youre still playing in a beer barn. At Dish, Memphis electronica has found a stylish home.
