“The main challenge was to offer people the sounds they know from me, but with a new angle,” explains the legend. “There are a few 170bpm tracks which are not what people expected, but they have accepted it well.”
ATB recently released the fifth installment in his ‘ATB The DJ In the Mix,’ series. The mix includes 19 tracks of the most recent, freshest EDM spread across 2 discs as well as a 3rd CD with a selection of some of ATB’s personal favorites from over the years.

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!!!

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.

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.

Currently ranked #72 by DJ Magazine, Chuckie only recently started touring outside his native Holland. How many spots he’ll jump come October is anyone’s guess, but he’s guaranteed to climb. Chuckie is at the forefront of, for lack of a better term, the ‘F*** Me I’m Famous’ movement. Highlighted by both hip-hop and house influences, Chuckie’s explosive beats bang out something proper. In fact, he was unsure whether or not his style of house was even that good, until David Guetta told him it was great.
With Lima’s crisp sound system behind him, Chuckie is sure to let the bass kick in Club Glow this Thursday. A venue made for those who want to look nice while dancing like crazy, Lima is sure to fill up quick for this cross-genre, Dirty Dutch Music genius.

Multo bene, Benny!! Italian superstar Benny Benassi has one of the most recognizable names in music.

Benassi is currently working on a new artist album slated for release sometime this year. The first single is called “Spaceship,” and features Kelis, Apl.De.Ap. (Black Eyed Peas), and Jean Baptiste. Check out Italian superstar Benny Benassi Saturday night at Fur Nightclub.

Every year from 1997 – 2004 he was top 10 in the DJ Mag poll, twice at #1 and twice at #2. From 2005-2008 he remained in the top 15. He currently sits at #23. Paul Oakenfold just might be the most consistent trance DJ ever. He is a legend. He was there when it all started and he is still here, still tearing up dance floors across the world, still pumping bass from Thailand to South Africa. Without Paul Oakenfold there might not be an Armin van Buuren, ATB, Ferry Corsten, or trance as we know it. Paul Oakenfold, along with artists like Johan Gielen, Robert Miles and M.I.K.E. took early styles of trance and molded them to what many refer to today as ‘epic’ or ‘uplifting’ trance.
Paul Oakenfold’s roots as a music pioneer run far deeper than just trance. At the age of 21 he was sneaking into Studio 54, posing as a journalist and interviewing the stars. As A&R for Champion Records in the 80’s, Paul was responsible for signing The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff as well as Salt-n-Pepa. He was also a promoter and the British agent for the Beastie Boys and Run DMC.
In the mid-late 80’s, Oakey traveled to Ibiza and was enamored by the Balearic beats. He would go on to mold the sound Ibiza is now known for. In 1992, under the name Perfecto (after his record label), Paul’s remix of U2’s “Even Better Than the Real Thing,” reached a higher chart position than… the real thing! U2 hired him the next year to be their opening act. 2 years later he was the first DJ to play the main stage at Glastonbury.
He’s remixed for U2, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, shall we keep going? He’s done the music for Saab, Toyota and Pepsi commercials. He worked on the scores to The Matrix Reloaded, Swordfish, The Bourne Identity, Shrek 2 and many others.
We didn’t need an event description for Paul Oakenfold, just a short recap of his illustrious career. To this day he remains one of DJ Mag’s top 25. If you don’t come to see Paul Oakenfold at Lima Lounge this Thursday… then you’re dumb.

They’re back!!! DJ Magazine’s 4th ranked group two years running, are back in DC!! The last time they spun at Glow it was unreal; the lights and visuals of Fur Nightclub, the uplifting trance, the jubilant crowd, what could be better?
Tony, Paavo and Jono are widely considered to be giants of trance along with AvB, Tiesto, PvD, and Ferry Corsten. They have created their own distinct sound, characterized by gorgeous, inspiring melodies. It’s the kind of music that brings tears to your eyes.
From Britney Spears and Dido to Madonna, Above & Beyond has remixed countless tracks for a multitude of artists. Their label, Anjunabeats, year in and year out releases some of the best tracks, albums and sublime compilations of any label out there. Their ‘Trance Around the World (TOTW)’ radio show airs on over 15 FM, Internet and satellite stations worldwide. The Above & Beyond TV podcast is arguably the best EDM podcast available on iTunes. They have performed before some of the largest audiences of any DJ act, including 1,000,000 people in Rio de Janeiro.
You are their passion. The way they describe their inspiration will send shivers down your spine. You can read it in their bio. Here’s an excerpt: “…what we’re trying to do is connect with people. You try and describe something in your own life, but in a way that will resonate with other people… We like to think of ourselves as songwriters first… That’s our approach to music. The most challenging thing is to write a song that really touches the listener.”
Come check out Above & Beyond at Fur Nightclub this Saturday. Cause hey, they don’t do it for themselves, they do it for you.

Thu, May 13th 2010 at Lima Lounge 1401 K St NW Washington DC Ages 21+ Purchase your tickets here!
Along with Junior Vasquez, David Morales and Danny Tenaglia, Sanchez helped pioneer the sound of NY house; taking it international and ending up an icon in Ibiza. 2007 saw Roger take down the Ibiza DJ Award for Best House DJ as well as a top 25 ranking in DJ Magazine’s acclaimed poll. He was #13 in the first ever DJ Mag top 100 poll (1997) and he’s still in it today!! Currently ranked #60, he has lost absolutely none of his swagger. His set last fall at Made Event’s Electric Zoo in NYC was without question one of the best. He’s about the music, not the hype.
Roger’s ‘Release Yourself’ brand is internationally known as one of the best podcasts, parties and compilations. Whether it’s his infamous 7-8 sets at Amnesia, IDMA’s Best Global Club 3 years running; the 1.5 million listeners of his award winning podcast (IDMA); or the ridiculous mixes he drops every year; one thing is clear; Roger Sanchez was, is and will continue to be one of the best live acts electronic music has to offer.
With Lima as his canvas, Sanchez is set to paint a musical masterpiece across one of DC’s most savvy nightclubs. The seductive intimacy of Lima is the perfect backdrop for The S-Man’s ultra sexy house. With a new album on the way and special guest Lex Da Funk, now is the perfect time to experience Roger Sanchez at Lima Lounge, a legend of house music.
