Chicago native, Orville Kline or Orvtronixxx is not just another DJ. When he's not guest lecturing classes at Columbia College Chicago, mixing live visuals for acts like Boys Noize and Sasha, or mixing down indie hip-hop tracks featuring Snoop, Orville somehow finds time to produce and perform his own unique style of cutting edge electronic dance music.  He has played all of Chicago’s biggest venues as well as clubs, parties and festivals across the country spanning from Seattle to Detroit to Miami.  Being a part of the Chicago-based, Custom Vibes, he has shared the stage with DJs along the likes of  Felix Da Housecat, Skrillex, Tommy Lee & Dj Aero, JFK of MSTRKRFT, The Glitch Mob, LA Riots, Steve Aoki, D.I.M., Le Castle Vania, Passion Pit Djs, Mustard Pimp, Ocelot, Designer Drugs, Kraddy, Bart B More, Tinie Tempah, Troble & Bass , Alex Peace, Figure, Utah Saints, Gant Man, Midnight Conspiracy + many more.  His band Fun Club has performed with acts like Mindless Self Indulgence, Local H, Kill Hanna, and Misson of Burma.  “Porn & Chicken” his Monday night DJ residency at Evil Olive in Chicago, was runner up to the for being best party in the country by URB Magazine in 2010.  Orville uses wireless MIDI controllers (like his Wii guitar and iPad) during his sets so he could leave the DJ booth and interact with the dance floor while still mixing.

Orville got the nickname "Orvtron" because his friends and colleagues described his work ethic and productivity to be non-human or robotic.  Orville got started with music playing in many indie, punk, & metal bands prior to DJing. This taught Orville how to entertain a crowd while putting on a show without sacrificing his musical integrity.  Always being a forerunner of new music production and live performance technology,Orville is one of only 33 Certified Ableton Live Instructors in the country.  Orville is also a music production and DJ/live performance instructor at Chicago’s leading music technology and business school Music Industry Workshop.  Orville is also a freelance recording and mix engineer at Chicago’s legendary Studio Chicago.  Stay tuned for upcoming releases on Bit Riot Records and Invisibles.
