dj andy grant (that’s me!) from dc house grooves will be playing at alongside joe l. and aaron sparks at push at jimmy valentine’s lonely hearts club in washington, dc, this coming saturday, january 28. i’ll be breaking out the vinyl from deep in the vaults for some quality house and disco action. if you’re looking for some quality house grooves this coming saturday night (and a quality selection of fine beers!), head up and join us at jimmy valentine’s.
we’ve got some good nights coming up in dc this weekend which i figured deserve a mention on dchousegrooves.com.
on friday 8/12, red fridays at u street music hall is hosting doc martin, with support from solomon sanchez. it’s sure to be a blinder, so get yourself down there! you’ll no doubt find me on the dancefloor throwing a few shapes.
then on sunday 8/14, the stranger than paradise crew are throwing another of their awesome sunday’s rooftop parties at tabac on u street, featuring onur ozer, with support from chris nitti, jubilee and navbox. i can’t recommend this party enough… great music, great crowd, great venue….there simply is no better way to spend your sunday afternoon. be prepared and get your advanced tickets on resident advisor.
found this mix deep in the dc house grooves archive, and figured it needed another airing. a 70 minute mix of varied deepness, with classic tracks from labels like fxhe, strictly rhythm, rotters golf club, kms, global communication, strictly 4 groovers etc…. and if you haven’t heard the track “ocean” by the mole people before, prepare for an assault on your senses! a timeless classic. best listened to with eyes closed and the lights down low….you’ll thank me for it

blue base – cerulean (bush)
the memory foundation – puppetmaster (eukahouse)
the mole people – ocean (strictly rhythm)

inspired after several hours on the dancefloor yesterday at the secretsundaze mansion party in DC, i spent some time on the decks this afternoon and knocked out a new mix. 2 hours of slow burning hypnotic house grooves….. put on your headphones or crank up your speakers, turn the lights down low, and lose yourself in it. i haven’t had this much fun on the decks in a very long time! thanks to navbox, juan zapata, giles and james from secretsundaze, and all the stranger than paradise crew for a fantastic party that inspired me to get back on the turntables.
