We were pretty excited to see\u00a0OddCouple, one of our favorite local DJs who plays many popular events and venues in the city, and enjoyed his fun, upbeat mixes of popular hip-hop and pop music. Shaed was another group that stood out, with the light and airy voice of their female vocalist upheld with chill, electronic beats. Of course, Miike Snow&#8217;s set was the right kind of bombastic for a festival, and a prime choice for getting your body moving. Although we hadn&#8217;t heard them previously, Misterwives was one of the final groups we saw, and were pleasantly surprised by their eclectic set list of indie pop tunes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Day Two Music Highlights<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MAMBY2017_0624_215720-3568_aLIVEcoverage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-19072\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MAMBY2017_0624_215720-3568_aLIVEcoverage-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"mamby on the beach recap\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MAMBY2017_0624_215720-3568_aLIVEcoverage-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MAMBY2017_0624_215720-3568_aLIVEcoverage-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MAMBY2017_0624_215720-3568_aLIVEcoverage-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MAMBY2017_0624_215720-3568_aLIVEcoverage-1300x865.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MAMBY2017_0624_215720-3568_aLIVEcoverage-128x86.jpg 128w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/MAMBY2017_0624_215720-3568_aLIVEcoverage.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Day two of Mamby was our personal favorite, and the featured artists set the mood for the ultimate Sunday Fun-day. One particularly memorable set was\u00a0Klingande, who turned the beach into a club with mixes of 90s house jams and current pop hits.\u00a0Thundercat had the audience captivated by their unique brand of funk and soul, and even more so by the speed of bassist Stephen Bruner&#8217;s fingers.\u00a0Soon after, Todd Terje &amp; The Olsens had the crowd jamming to their disco-like beats.\u00a0Finally, headliner Flying Lotus wrapped up the night with mixes that spanned his entire, diverse career, brought to life with abstract and fittingly absurd visuals. We were more than happy to watch him play an encore.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a saturated market of large-scale music festivals, with some of the most prominent known for being bombarded by uncomfortable, sometimes unpleasant crowds, Mamby on the Beach is a breath of fresh lakeshore air.
