Grand Opening Of U Street Music Hall Tonight







Tonight is the grand opening of the U St. Music Hall, a space on 12th and U devoted to great sound and a no bullshit vibe. I had a chance to venture into the basement space last night, and I have to say, I'm psyched for the potential of this place. For most of the night DJ Will Eastman was performing a set at about a third of the sound system's potential volume. At one point co-owner Jesse Tittsworth walked up to the booth and cranked the master...it was a face melting barrage of sound. Seriously, dangerous shit.

Check out their Facebook page here

Chris Burns And Ron Trent @ 411 Warehouse



Wild North vet Chris Burns, and Chicago house legend Ron Trent team up on Friday March 19th to bump that sweet, soulful, body music. You can rsvp here.

TJ's Deep Cut of the Week - Midfield General



Maybe not the deepest of the deep, but when I was shopping around last weekend and saw this baby I couldn't let it pass. I first heard “Reach Out” some years ago at a friend’s basement show/party between two punk sets and that was it, if there was ever a specific moment in which I was turned onto the art of DJing and "the dig", that was the one. Midfield General, (Damian Harris), was one of the original founders of Skint records, best known for their huge success releasing Fatboy Slim and perfecting the big beat sound of the mid-90’s. Check it out, the first three tracks are included on the 12”, but I threw in the Space Raiders Mix for kicks even though it was only included on the CD re-release, LOVE IT.

Midfield General feat. Linda Lewis - Reach Out (Original Mix)

Midfield General - Triangle (Original Mix)

Midfield General feat. Linda Lewis - Reach Out (Hakan Remix)

Sunday Morning Hangover Mix With Afrie




Sometimes haus beats are too much to handle. Though these times are few and far between, the tunes need not stop during beat breaks. Sunday mornings are a perfect time to venture outside the realm of 130bpm. When you can't quite get yourself up out of bed, and piecing together the details of last night is your sole objective for the day, we provide a soundtrack for getting back on track. Make some pancakes and a cup of coffee and enjoy.

Sorry this post was delayed... but i woke up smelling like Wild Turkey and Collared Greens.

Broadcast-Before We Begin
Augustus Pablo- Thunder Clap
Otis Redding- Ole Man Trouble
Os Mutantes- A Minha Menina
Papercuts- The Machine Will Tell Us So
Spacemen 3- Soul 1

TJ's Deep Cut of the Week: Shampale Cartier



Listen Bitch,
I picked up this gem a few months back at Joe's Record Paradise up in Rockville and it's been the reigning glam jam ever since. Released on the Miami based label Sounds for People in 1998, it's one of only two fabulous releases by Shampale Cartier, the other being "I Got A Man". Watch out for the Shampale Splits Mix, it's that sassy diva destroyer.

Shampale Cartier - I'm Talking to You (Bitch)(French Cartier Mix)

Shampale Cartier - I'm Talking to You (Bitch)(Shampale Splits)

Shampale Cartier - I'm Talking to You (Bitch)(Naomi's Westwood Mix)
