time for the annual dc house grooves jaunt to västerås, sweden! last time I went at the height of the glorious swedish summer, but this time i’m braving the winter weather.  two gigs lined up for this trip: friday night 11 december at the circus, playing alongside resident dj klas larsson, then saturday night 12 december at å restaurang & bar, again with resident dj klas.

so if you’re in the neighborhood, drop by either friday or saturday for a quality night of disco, house an who knows what. nights out in västerås are always fantastic. the mornings after, on the other hand….

it’s going to be fun!

skaka rumpa!

Stranger Than Paradise at Jimmy Valentine's

If you’re looking for some house music in Washington DC this coming Saturday night, DC House Grooves recommends that you get yourself down to Jimmy Valentine’s for night of quality tunes from the Stranger Than Paradise crew. I’ve not checked out this venue, but I’ve heard good things about it. I went to the last Stranger Than Paradise in October with DJ Jus-Ed supported by Navbox and Rosario, and had a great time. Quality tunes and a fun crowd.  This coming Saturday they’ve got DJ Leks Vargas (aka Leks The Imposter ) on the decks, with Elisa from New York, and I’m sure it’s going to be a fun night all round. If you make it down there, you may even find me throwing some shapes on the dancefloor, JD and Coke in hand
