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

OMG... A Riot!

Did you see that craziness recently with Ron Artest, I mean Metta World Peace?  This dude who was one of the escalators in the fight a few years ago that broke out in the Palace in Auburn Hills Michigan, the home of the Detroit Pistons was up to his old out-of-control self.  This time it was in a game between the storied LA Lakers and the super upstarts OKC Thunder.  Look if you want the play by play, there is plenty all over the ‘net.  I’m not going to give it any more attention but to say, we want to knock you out but not in that way.

So how do we want to knock you out? By re-introducing Riot Now to a ScandalDC show on Cinco de Mayo!  That’s right boys and girls.  The 5th of May is complete with a Riot.  Hahahaha.  Riot Now and I have killed some sets on Thursday night.  Now we are one-upping the game by bringing him out on a weekend with the rest of the ScandalDC crew.  And we know our Gazuza crowd and many more across the DMV will love, love, love this!  If you think I’m kidding just get a load of this DJ set from him…

Your house. Our house. Riot’s house…

Even though a Riot is in the place, we are all love, peace, House music…

ScandalDC's new hot party at Eden (DC)

Have you heard? My crew, ScandalDC, is starting a new night at Eden. Located in the heart of downtown at 1716 I street NW, Washington DC, the multi-level Eden has a had a reputation to be one of the top places in the city to get your boogie on. ScandalDC will kick off with the guest appearance of DJ MD (Zach Horne). This maestro of music has a deep history of hosting some great parties with the George Washington University (GW) crowds and beyond.

Lust4Life at Dionysus Feb 3

In Baltimore, our Lust4Life party is on the 1st Friday of the month, Feb 3rd. We are heating up to keep you warm this winter with some of the best beat masters you have yet to lay ears on. Seriously, if you want to be on the cool end of the future, you are not going to want to miss L4L.

With her, just about Anniething Goes...

Here I go with another double in DC.  Thursday it is my turn up with ScandalDC’s Thursday at Gazuza, our weekly series.  I have some sleepers that I’ll be playing for you.  So start your weekend with me.

And make sure you return on Saturday night for Foundation 9.  This time, our monthly features DJ vANNIEty Kills.  Annie is a master of beats, spanning sets from House to Drum and Bass.  She has shared the stage with legends such as LTJ Bukem at U Street Music Hall and played to the auditory delights of Donovan House roof top affairs.

As her bio points out, “As part of a burgeoning class of top gay and lesbian DJs in the capital city who attract praise from all social avenues, vANNIEty Kills is helping bridge gaps, open doors, and unify the city in the gospel of Parliament and Funkadelic, “One Nation Under a Groove.”"

Thursday, December 1. ScandalDC’s Thursday at Gazuza Lounge–House, Sushi, and Hookah.

Wow! Where has the summer gone? We have definitely come into the final chapters for the Oh-eleven summer season; especially for all you young and not so young school kiddies. Yeah, bitter sweet, we know.

Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean we all have to be sad. The summer is still in full swing. So this is what we are going to do.

First, we should introduce you to iLLogic, AKA Mr Sean L to some of you peeps. This solid music maestro has been brought to our ScandalDC crew by the one and only DJ Kochi. If you have had the privilege to catch the inaugural iNKHouse show featuring Dimitri Max and Rick of Corduroy Mavericks, or any of the ScandalDC Thursdays at Gazuza, you have seen these two (Kochi and iLLogic) in action. iLLogic brings A-game every night (or day). He will be solo this Thursday for ScandalDC.

Then Saturday we reconvene for Foundation :: 5. This month we are honored to be hosting for the incomparable Juan Zapata. This dude has been blowing people up for more than a ‘minute’ along with the rest of his crew in ELM (Everybody Loves Music). If you really don’t know, don’t just ask somebody… Show your face in the place. The details of when and where are on the flyer above.

As a buddy of mine on Code Red records would say, see you on the dance floor…

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.

One of the other things that happened at WMC 2011 and Future Classics 4, was the first public performance of “Her Freedom Song”. This original by Stylo featuring Tunde is now available through CDBaby. Other outlets like iTunes and Amazon will have the song for download in the coming days.

Her Freedom Song (feat. Tunde) by Stylo now available through several online music stores

Be sure to congratulate Tunde this weekend at Foundation (Saturday, April 2nd, @Gazuza Lounge, Washington DC).
