still looking for NYE plans?

Here are some last minute NYE ideas that are not sold out, will be fun, and will be easy to get to even in bad weather.  Also- these are no gimmicks types of NYE events:

First Up: DJ TMY @ Vinoteca
I'll be spinning in the upstairs lounge from 11:00pm-3:00am at Vinoteca (11th and U Street NW) on NYE. I stopped by there today and the place is going to be really cool.  Tickets are normally $75- but if you book through me, I can get you a special price of $50 for full open bar, complimentary champagne all nite, and a midnight snack buffet!  There are also other tickets available for a full-course meal starting earlier in the nite if you're into that sort of thing.

If you want the special TMY price for Vinoteca, call this number, ask for Paul, and say you're with me: 202-332-9463. OR leave a comment on this blog post and I'll take care of it for you!

I'll be playing my full arsenal: hip hop, pop, throwbacks, nu-disco, bmore club, house- should be fun!

Second Up: Chris Burns @ Science Club
Science Club is a really cool place to DJ and they have awesome vegetarian food.  Chris Burns- one of DC's best- is hosting a crew of DJs here this NYE.  The nite features a no cover or a $25 open bar special- not a bad deal!

Next Up: NYE @ Duplex Diner
I often like to retreat to the Duplex during big going out nites in DC- it's a guarantee for all locals, no lameness fun.  Aaron Riggins and I think my boy from Indy Drew Anderson will be DJing.  Not sure who else though, but ... SHhhh.. I may be making a surprise appearance here at some point in the nite- so look out for that too!

Last Up: SHIFT: The End is NYE @ Cobalt

This party is always super fun, the music is always fun to dance to, and tickets are only $10!  DJ MAJR (Mickey Adolphson and Aaron Riggins) will be heading this one up- at $10, this could easily be a party you start your night off at or end up at!

forget NYE, what are your January 2nd plans?

If you didn't get BYT tickets before they sold out haven't figured out what you're doing for New Year's Eve yet, well.. you're out of luck (actually I'll be making a post later about fun last minute NYE ideas, including an event I'm DJing at Vinoteca).

But with all the discussion about NYE, many have overlooked the numerous parties going on this Saturday, January 2nd.  You'll either have to make some tough choices or go for a marathon night.  I vote the latter.

First Up: Homo/Sonic @ The Black Cat
The boys from The New Gay, Zach and Michael, continue their monthly and legendary party Homo/Sonic this Saturday, and will joined by DJ Natty Boom.  Natty Boom is out of the Anthology of Booty DJ Crew and hosts the Backdoor party at the 9:30 Club Backbar.  Homo/Sonic can also boast of being the first queer indie dance party in DC in 2010, although I bet BYT's NYE party will be pretty gay too. Homo/Sonic is coed, trans-inclusive, straight friendly, and really fucking fun.  RSVP on facebook here: Homo/Sonic 2010

Next Up: KIDS @ DC9
A bunch of us gays were at the last Kids party, and we were dancing our faces off.  My girl Lil' El hosts this all 90s Hip Hop party once a month with DJs Steve Starks,  Nacey, and Jackie O.  DC9 is also right next to Nellie's if you need an excuse to stop by Kids.  But just to warn you, you will end up spending most of your night here.

More incentives include the following:
FREE entry before 10PM
FREE Old English before 10PM
FREE condoms all night

RSVP on FB here: KIDS @ DC9

Last Up: CODE @ EFN Lounge

CODE is a Gear, Rubber, Skin, Uniform or Leather Dress Code Party at EFN Lounge (1318 9th St NW).  My boy Shea Van Horn, who does Maison with me as well as Mixtape and Raw, will be DJing January's CODE party.  This party sounds crazy: open bar from 9-10PM plus tons of guys in gear doing demos and shit.  You can also find me DJing here for the Wet & Wild party on January 13th.


RSVP here on FB: CODE @ EFN Lounge 

DJing for @LeRoyRap in IOWA at the River Music Experience

On Festivus I had the honor to DJ for my boys Le Roy at the River Music Experience in Davenport, Iowa right along the Mississippi River.  It was my first time DJing at home and for Le Roy- a comedic rap group from my hometown.   They started making music back when we were in high school together, but only recently started doing live shows.  Hopefully we can bring them out to DC soon- these guys are not only hilarious, they're super talented.

Maison The Recap:

Well- Last night was very fun and interesting.  Maison was truly a mixed crowd last nite, something I think DC needs more of!  The Napoleon regulars and the Maison boys truly did mesh well and the vibe was great.  The music was cool if I do say so myself.  I think Shea and I traded places last nite- he played some pretty heavy French house, and I was playing more down-tempo French nu-disco.  It was fun!  Thanks to Napoleon Bistro Lounge for having us (sorry about the shirtless boy (yeah, just one), the broken mirror, and the near fight? i dunno it got crazy).  We'll try and tame those straight boys next time!

new shit

lots going on w/ DJ TMY these days- DJing at Wonderland Ballroom on Wednesday for the Pink Sock Party and then I have Maison this Thursday w/ Shea.  January is now completely booked up too.  AH!

I'm starting to get annoyed with inviting people to events from my personal facebook, so to stream-line things I have decided to make a facebook page for DJ TMY.  Events and updates will be sent thru there from now on (in addition to this blog and twitter).

Please take the time to add me and become a fan of DJ TMY on facebook: DJ TMY FACEBOOK PAGE

Peach Pit Tonite at Dahlak!

whew- it's already the 10th of December- time flies when you're mixing beats.  Here's a preview of some awesome parties going on this weekend:

TONITE (THURSDAY): Peach Pit is back for it's 3rd party at Dahlak (1771 U Street NW)

Matt Bailer and Robert Bozick (two of my favs) will throw down some hot tunes exclusively from the 1990s.  Weird to think we're just about to end the next decade, the 2000s (is that what we're calling it?)

If you've never been, Peach Pit is a really fun and intimate affair: awesome throw backs, awesome dance moves, and awesome people.

Definitely check this party out!

it's chro-me-oh-oh-oh-oh-oooohh

i give chromeo lots of credit. i think they single-handedly opened up an entire world of funk-dance-retro-disco that i didn't know still existed when i first heard "needy girl" in 2004.  it's one of those tracks i still listen to and still play when i DJ.  all of their music is so fun and there have been so many amazing remixes of and by them.  here's the new video for "night by night."  i can't wait for the new album!  and look at Dave 1's dance moves in the video- i've always thought he was super cute and his voice is very very sexy- nice to see him bust a move (although i suspect there may have been a double used for some of the shots... what do you think?)

DJing at Town tonite.. not not that town, TOWN TAVERN!

DJing at Town Tavern has been in the works for a while, and I'm pretty pumped for it!


Beer Pong, Football Games,  Adams Morgan, Vinyl, DJing on a balcony overlooking the dance floor- DONE!


Come by tonite if you're free- Town Tavern is at 2323 18th Street (right up the street from Duplex Diner)


oh.. and some of the bartenders are GW water polo alums- as if you needed more reasons to be there!


Michael Jackson- Off the Wall (Only Children Club Edit)

WET & WILD @EFN_Lounge this Wednesday!

I'm very excited to be making my EFN Lounge debut this Wednesday for the Wet AND Wild Party!  

Kim Zolciak (Real Housewives of Atlanta) was there last week, so it will be a very tough act to follow- but you still can't beat a good old fashioned wet underwear contest and fun music, right?  I'm up for the challenge.

Wednesday 12/2

9PM
$3 cover- 
drink specials all nite long- 
great music- oh and did i mention there's a wet underwear contest?
see you at EFN Lounge (9th and O NW)

UCB feat @wale- Pat Your Weave

first heard this song on Wale's Back to the Future Mixtape, and it was probably one of my favorite tracks on that tape- i'll get to Wale's new album attention deficit soon, but had to post the video for the best go-go band out there

Chromeo on Nickelodeon's Yo Gabba Gabba!

this is so awesome- one of my favorite bands of all time spent some time on Yo Gabba Gabba! to talk to kids about washing your hands. I think this means they've conquered all demographics now.

Maison Mix #3 @maisondc

Kenya's Just a Band

house is everywhere- just heard this great track called "Usinibore" by Kenya's Just a Band- great Daft Punk sample, which is hard to do since DP is all samples themselves.

apparently Nairobi has a thriving funk scene?! who knew

this is probably one of the best house/funk/disco tracks i've heard that wasn't from Australia in a long time.

please support Just a Band on iTunes, visit their website, and watch the video below!

medina- you and i // kun for mig

i first heard Medina's "you and i" when deadmau5 remixed it, and it was one of those songs that just kinda floated in my iphone- but it's come up a few times in the shuffle and i totally dig it-

i didn't know too much about Medina before- but she's this 25 y/o Danish girl with what i'd call a poppy/r&b voice combined with european club sounds.

apparently "you and i"- or as the Danes know it, "Kun for Mig" has reached Poker Face viral levels in the streets of Copenhagen. I wouldn't be surprised if it did the same in the US- I think she's one of those chicks the gays will just love.  Plus they'll probably enjoy the very yummy male model in this video- check it out!

It's at Dahlak (across from Duplex Diner, home of Aural Pleasure, 18th and U).  Be there or be square.

Not trying to compete, but I'll also be playing some jams over at the Diner (DUPLEX DINER), but I'll be floating back and forth I'm sure.  See you tonite!

Bozick- here's a request for my favorite song from 1996!

Ginuwine- Pony (mediafire)

great write up about @maisondc on brightest young things!

BYT did a great feature about the new monthly i'm doing w/ Shea Van Horn called Maison!  Maison is a French house and electro night that starts in exactly one week (Thursday, October 22nd) at Napoleon in Adams Morgan.  1/2 price champagne drinks and appetizers!  WOOT.  Hope to see you betches there.

I love this quote they put in the preview: 

"PEOPLE you’ll see: Brigitte Bardot (hey, with half-price champagne cocktails, you just may be seeing Brigitte Bardot by the end of the night)."

Calvin Harris Flashback Video!!

The video for my favorite song on the Calvin Harris album just came out- love the video, and I have to say he looks quite dashing.

also i hear rumours of David Guetta and Eric Prydz remixes for Flashback but have yet to locate them- can anyone help me out?

how did i miss this passion pit song?

Passion Pit's '08 Chunk of Change EP has some amazing singles on it- obviously Sleepyhead is on this EP, and some of my other favs are Smile Upon Me, and Live to Tell the Tale.

But I made a gross oversight by not getting into Cuddle Fuddle- it's been way up on The Hype Machine Charts, so I'm glad I re-discovered it.

The lyrics are great- and his voice does an amazing job of creating an innocent plea.

Let down your hair
Let down your hair
Rapunzel Rapunzel
Let down your hair

Passion Pit- Cuddle Fuddle (MF)

HRC Dinner After* Party (*unofficial)

YO- I'm DJ'ing at the Diner on Saturday after the Iowa-Michigan Football Game (no breeder)- I mean- HRC Dinner

It will be me and my favs- T-Bow, Alden, Bradley Schurman

expect lots of spice girls, en vogue, early 90s R&B, random country, and i'll probably throw in some disco for good measure.

The Gossip- Love Long Distance

@azizansari- new goal, DJ for a comedian!

i'm one of the few out there still giving parks and recreation a shot- partly because i will always love amy poehler (i've been a fan of hers since Upright Citizens Brigade) and party because Aziz Ansari is HILARIOUS. I played around on his website today- new goal in life is to DJ for a comedian!

Raaaaaaaandy - Part 1 (Funny People) from Aziz Ansari

Don't be Tardy for the HHHH Party

HHHH (Homo Hotel Happy Hour) will be celebrating its 2-year Anniversary this Friday, and I'm pumped to be DJ'ing it with my partner-in-crime Bradley Schurman (CB Radio) and Zack Rosen (Homo/Sonic & TNG). We'll have 2 sets of tables going- one in the downstairs restaurant Zentan and the lounge, and then we'll head upstairs to the amazing roof deck (weather permitting). Should be fun!

Girls: camel toe; boys: moose knuckle; hermaphrodite: ???

Went to the Lady Gaga concert on Tuesday. I had a lot of fun despite the obstacles. She started totally late. DAR was a terrible venue for a Gaga concert. Her set was super short. But in the end- it was still Gaga. The crowd was super into it. I was super into it. She was totally super entertaining. Thumbs up, Gaga.

However, I saw lots of Lady Gaga crotch- and I'm totally confused. If a camel toe is for girls, and a moose knuckle is for boys... then what do you call Lady Gaga's hermie-crotch indentation?

Kid Cudi feat Kanye, Common- Make Her Say (Gaga cover) (Sammy Bananas Remix)

1985 Chicago Bears- Superbowl Shuffle

9.17.09 Aural Pleasure DJs at WTF?!!

Holy Ghost!- I Will Come Back (Classixx Acapulco Night's Version)

I know I'm not the biggest BEP fan (especially post Fergie), but this performance they did on Oprah w/ 21,000 choreographed dancers on Michigan Avenue is insane.. listen to Fergie's terrible singing and Oprah's freak out at the end!

Lady Gaga - New Music - More Music Videos

i was still a little mad at gaga for canceling her dc show- but i think i have completely forgiven her after last nite's performance on the vmas.

she'd really win me completely over if she canceled her tour w/ kanye. what an asshole. he's in the doghouse with me now. sucks- cuz i was planning on playing that LMFAO remix of paranoid on thursday at Town for WTF...

Party Bros!!

I just saw the new video by Party Bros (Gavin Holland and Chris Burns) for banger "OOO BayBay"- WOW- it's freaking awesome. It's like a modern day sandlot-inspired disco! Check out the pics from the premier up at Brightest Young Things! Gavin is a part of Nouveau Riche and a regular at Wonderland's See You Next Tuesday Party in Columbia Heights. You can stream music by DJ Gavin Holland and Party Bros on his myspace- HERE.

And Nouveau Riche will be doing a huge show next Saturday w/ Wale, and MGMT is doing a private show on Sunday at some warehouse on New York Avenue. I'll be gone unfortunately, but here as the details on how to get tickets for Kia's The Soul Collective.
