33 Patterson St NE Washington DC
Doors Open at 10pm, Ages 18+
As one – half of legendary DC house duo Deep Dish, Sharam and partner in crime Dubfire are responsible for bringing Washington, DC’s electronic music scene to the forefront of global dance music. According to Rolling Stone Magazine, “The Deep Dish sound personifies cool.” That pretty much says it all, doesn’t it? With their respective solo careers now in full stride, Sharam and Dubfire are rediscovering what it means to take over the world.
With the release of his debut album last year, Sharam set himself apart from anything he’s ever done before. He has defined his own sound, which has been described as “soulful dance music with striking vocals.” His rework of the RIck James – produced Eddie Murphy hit ‘Party All The Time,’ collaboration with Daniel Bedingfield on ‘The One,’ and studio sessions with everyone from Diddy to Tommy Lee are evidence of Sharam’s utterly brilliant creative mind.
As of recent he has come out with a video blog of his time spent at the infamous Burning Man experience (located in the ‘Video’ tab). He also participated in the 12th annual Gumball 3000 auto race, which started in London, went East, pulled a U’ey and ended up in NYC. Needless to say it’s been a wild ride for the DC legend, and he’s finally home.
Come celebrate the return of Sharam to his home-base at Glow this Saturday. It’s about to ‘Get Wild’ up in here!!!

JORIS VOORN
While he might not refer to himself as an artist, he exemplifies the highest caliber of artist. As a producer, Voorn has touched the electronic music world with tracks like Blank released in 2008, as well as Sweep the Floor, his rendition of modern house, released as part of the Dusty House EP. He has left his mark on remixes for tracks entitled Dark Flower and Ghost Song.
Voorn has traveled the world making pit stops in Spain, Germany, Croatia, Finland, China, Japan, Brazil, USA, Canada and the list goes on. His mark in the USA has been significant to the standards of electronic music, but his presence has been weighted against a society passionate about pop culture and close minded when it comes to a new type of sound.
What can you expect from Joris Voorn? We asked him…
“At the moment the music is in a retro phase, the past is being reinvented and the futuristic sounds are being pushed to the side. People are paying more attention to a new groovy house sound at the moment… What I did was bring in a melodical sound, when techno was just about beats no one was really playing melodies. I brought in a danceable rhythm with some melodies. It was either monotonous beats or Detroit style. I was trying to get best of both worlds and that helped me become a better producer and DJ. People can listen to my music and can actually feel something with the music I produce.”
You can catch Voorn’s latest release in the music section.
TIMO MAAS
Describing his current style as “…not minimal, not techno, pretty unique… very atmospheric. It’s very trippy. It’s not loop-based, it’s a story as my life is a story,” Mass makes it clear that after a 27-year career he does not like to be referred to as a veteran of electronic music, citing veterans as people who look back, whereas his story is not yet fulfilled. Recently, Maas has teamed up with Italian DJ/producer Santos to form the group Mutant Clan, whose track “On and amp Bedrock” leads Timo’s “H1N1″ mix.
From the days of his Azzido Da Bass remix known as “Dooms Night” to his work with r&b singer Kelis, a residency with Deep Dish at the legendary Twilo, to he re-immersion into the dark and twisted with the track “Subtellite” and the current formation of Mutant Clan, TImo Maas as proved to his fans and himself that even after 27 years, a true artist can adapt, metamorphose, and continue to find inspiration wherever he/she may be.
POP!

James Zabiela this Thursday at Glow at Lima Lounge

Opening Set by Rich Webb
Thursday, June 3rd 2010 at Lima Restaurant & Lounge
1401 K St NW Washington DC
Doors Open at 10pm, Ages 21+
There’s a reason James Zabiela falls in the category of being a DJ’s DJ. He’s widely considered to be the man who figured out how to properly manipulate CDJ’s, an industry standard. In fact, he was invited to Pioneer HQ in Japan to spin a private party for the CEO. If there’s one thing that can be said about James Zabiela, it’s that he is without question one of most technically gifted DJs in the world.
Most DJs and producers have to be a little geeky. Think about it… they have to know the intricacies of mixing, mastering, the equations that make effects plug-ins work, they need to know how to layer this bass on top of that one and how to do it with perfection. Shit, even guys like Timbaland, Scott Storch and Swizz Beats have to be a little dorky deep down.
The difference between those guys and James Zabiela is that JZ admits it. The self-proclaimed nerd and Star Wars junkie will be at Lima Restaurant & Lounge on Thursday to display what happens when you combine a tech-geek, music and a ton of DJ toys… Utterly brilliant music, obviously.

Menno de Jong this Saturday at Glow at Fur!
GLOW Washington DC presents:
Menno de Jong

Opening Set by Roberto Gonzalez
Saturday, May 29th 2010 at Fur Nightclub
33 Patterson St NE Washington DC
Doors Open at 10pm, Ages 21+
24 years old, ranked #56 in the world and coming off a year highlighted by worldwide residencies for Global Gathering and Godskitchen; Menno de Jong has fast tracked himself to international superstardom.
A trailblazer in podcasting, Menno’s ‘Intuition’ show began in 2005 and now in addition to iTunes, can be heard via Sirius XM, Slam FM (Holland), and Worldspace. With tens of thousands tuning in each week, ‘Intuition’ has proven to be one of the best and most downloaded podcasts year in and year out.
Raised in Holland, de Jong has played piano for over 15 years and begins each production sitting in front of a baby grand. Some of his more famous tunes include Last Light Tonight, No Regrets, Majestic, Magma, Sjamaan and Solid State. He’s closed for the likes of Armin van Buuren and Tiesto.
With all that he has accomplished, the best part about Menno de Jong is that he’s a chill ass dude. Straight up. You can find Menno at the club, hanging out, just chillin like any of us would be. He was actually at Fur when Armin was here, just doing whatever. Watch the videos and you’ll see what we mean. It’s almost certain he’ll stick around after his gig and chat with fans, that’s Menno de Jong… a sick producer, a dope DJ, and cool as hell.
Friday Nights are on FIRE at Ultrabar
Of all the DC Clubs, Ultrabar is my favorite by far. Fridays bring Ladies Night to this awesome multi-level nightclub! There are 6 great bars spread out across 5 floors with 4 dancefloors playing all different music!
Check out the Hip Hop, Top 40, and mashups with Geometrix on the main floor. Party on with the Dance Music down in the vault level with DJ Maskell. Go upstairs past the mezzanine level to the bedroom to catch Bomba throwing down latin rhythms all night. Keep moving up the stairs, and you’ll find Spaz up in Chroma VIP bangin out a wide range of killer music guaranteed to make you move shake and dance.
Don’t take our word for it, check out the Ultrabar video and see it for yourself!
