Music, style, and life. We are mGrooves. We are 4groovers…

Chris Burns rocks a Caps Jacket -- DC flavor

This Labor Day weekend, prepare your sun block. Chris Burns graces the decks of Foundation 6 with his unique style and flair.

Chris, who can be considered the vanguard of a new generation of producers and maestros from this region, has long been a supporter and leader in the DC scene. I personally recall this underground party in a half finished town-home in upper Georgetown a few years ago was ‘da bomb’. Four levels of music, art, DC area fashion designers and some of the most cool people in the city.

Chris Burns -- Bring dancing shoes and sun block

Chris shines his light on DC after dark Saturday night. SPF-50 is highly recommended–along with dancing shoes, of course.

It was a lot of fun with the Scandal crew this weekend as we had Dimitri Max as a guest. He tore up the turntables!

Some of the pictures have already been shared on ScandalDC’s fan page and my fan page (facebook.com/djstylo).  But here is the complete gallery.

I have one word: Amazing!

This was Foundation Up In Smoke. Check out the photos for yourself.  More will be added soon.

I have a deejay set for you this Thursday at Gazuza along with some new remixes fresh from my studio.

ScandalDC Thursdays at Gazuza

Yep, that is what we are doing. We are gathering Gazuza’s prime talent, and putting it all on a single night.

While most ScandalDC and mGrooves fans are familiar with Fugami, Kochi, and Stylo, we wanted to test the DC gods and see what would happened if we added the prime selector from Gazuza Fridays on top of the gravity of having the entire Scandal crew active on the same night. I mean, it usually only in the big spaces that you can find the 3 of us tagging music all at the same time, right?

We have even invoked the DC ‘stars and bars’ flag in the design of our flier. So if you hear about a fire, ‘we don’t need no water. Let the…” Well you get the idea.

Searching for the perfect beat?

Sammy Arsam Khosh is indeed a prime selector. Probably most noted with his excellent work with the Empresarios, his music and beats are delightful fusion of so many influences it is hard to describe. It just has to be experienced. He has plenty of solo production credit to his resume as well. Read more about Sammy here.

This is why we are calling this All Stars… Don’t miss it!

Stylo and DJ Kochi stops for a photo at Foundation :: Homeboys

The new Foundation series kicked off over the weekend. The first of these sub-titled Homeboys was an absolute blast. Here is the complete photo album.

Foundation is a monthly on the 1st Saturday of the month in Washington DC.

Just in case you all missed it, ScandalDC through Stylo was recently featured in the DC edition of Examiner.com by Washington DC Music Scene Editor, Kim Cameron (Bringing Style to the Gazuza Lounge).

Kim, herself a successful song writer and performer for the DC based Side FX in addition to being a well traveled journalist, went as far as to describe Stylo as a “DJ with style” and his mixes as “a refreshing change”. The ScandalDC series Thursdays at Gazuza is “super hip”.

Stylo will be at the helm Feb 24; Kochi of Scandal will be on the decks next, March 3; FugAmI, March 10. Contact Matias at Gazuza Lounge for table reservations with never a door cover.

Scandal Thursdays at Gazuza

Through DJ FugAmI, the ScandalDC crew has been asked to participate in a remix. So that is what we will do. Who wants to hear Anda Adam with with a Stylo twist????

The song “Show Me” (below) is what will be the target of studio time having received the source files. Listen out for exclusive Scandal remixes coming your way soon…

Anda, a native of Romania, has been busy in show business since 16. Not only a singer, she is an accomplished dancer having participated in the Romanian edition of Dancing With The Stars, a unabashed fitness addict, along with being a nominee for Best Female Vocal on MTV.
