Did you catch Saturday’s DC House Grooves Show on Underground Quality Radio with special guest Baronhawk Poitier (TNX)? In case you missed it, check it out right here. As expected, Baronhawk knocked it out of the park with a quality set dripping with funk, soul and vibe, and the residents didn’t do too badly, either 😉 You can catch Baronhawk this Sunday at Good Buddies at Eighteenth Street Lounge. Not to be missed!

Before I get into the listings for this weekend, major thanks to everyone who came out to Flash last Friday and celebrated Katrina Mir‘s birthday with us! What an incredible night in the Green Room! I don’t think we’ve had a better night a Flash in all the years we’ve been played there. Thanks also to the whole team at Flash, to the management for booking us, and to all the bar and security staff for making sure everything went smoothly. We can’t wait to do it again! For those who couldn’t make it, we recorded the whole night, five hours of pure vibe served up fresh from the wax by me, Andy Grant, Ramirez and Katrina Mir.
