MAISON: A Salute To Daft Punk Preview Mix

One of the first times Shea and I DJ'd together (I believe at Duplex Diner), we had a complete love fest over the EASTAR remix of Daft Punk's "Something About Us."  From there, we decided to throw a party dedicated to French House and Maison was born.

With the release of Daft Punk's first new music since 2006 with the soundtrack for Tron Legacy, Shea and I will be saluting Daft Punk at Maison this Thursday, December 16th at Napoleon Bistro Lounge.

Please RSVP on facebook HERE.

Please enjoy this preview mix featuring Daft Punk, some covers, and side projects of Thomas Bangalter and Le Knight Club.

One more Yelle video + Preview Mix!

Yelle Week is coming to a close and it's finally time to party tonight.  $5 Beaujolais Noveau all night.  $5 champagne from 9-11pm.  $4 beers all night.  Me and DJ MAJR (Shift + Siren) all night long. Here's the FB link: Maison @ Napoleon.

Here's a preview mix to get ready for tonight:


Here's the final video for Yelle week w/ A Cause Des Garcons (Because of Boys)

Little French Girl Covers ‘Tristesse Joie’

adorable.

Ever wondered what Yelle is saying?

One of my favorite Yelle songs is Je Veut te Voir, which means I Want To See You, which is followed by the lyrics "In a Porno Film." Yeah, Yelle is a dirty, dirty girl. The rest of the translation is after the video.


Cuizinier (singer), with your little sex surrounded by red curls
I can’t believe you can think that you are wanted
I can’t understand it even in the dark,
even if you keep your PJs tight
Even if you guard your bathrobe, tight as a tailored T-shirt
Keep your nightgown, it’ll limit the bastard acts

I want to see you
In a porno film
In action with your cock
Shape potatoes or fries
To find out
About your anatomy
About your cousin Teki
And your fetish gear

Cuizi, what is
Your favourite position?
Your Olympic performances
But you do nothing orgasmic
You are naked
Under your apron
Ready to draw your sword
But tough luck

You dream of a neon Hummer
Designed by Akroe
But you have no license
You always take the metro

Superstar for a night, your life’ll return to normal
No need for sunglasses to hide yourself
You wait for your green card
This is not lip service
I’ve managed to make you
One with my scanner
Entrance is free tonight
It’s the only way to come
Then we girls wandered
Yeah, we’re going to chippendales
We had not planned to spend a night with the jokers
We wanted to see their pecs, guys hung like bulls

Your posters of Lil’ Jon cover those of Magic Johnson
You’re too crunk (crazy drunk) to slam dunk

Cuiziner, it’s you who I want to see
Who I want to see tonight
Be ridiculed by a girl who raps better than you
I only have 10 fingers
not enough to count all of them in the room
All these hairdressers like me who know you’re only worth a hair

French Drag Queen feat Yelle... yeah unexplainable

Fatal Bazooka Feat Yelle: Parle à ma main (talk to the hand)- I hope you enjoy the Marching Band at the end as much as I did.

It's YELLE Week @maisondc

I'll start off Yelle week w/ the video for the new single, La Musique.  Enjoy the kittens and RSVP on Facebook for Maison this Thursday at Napoleon HERE.

TONITE: Clockwork @ RNR w/ Ratt Moze, Chris Nitti, & Philip Goyette

The boys from Clockwork are having me DJ tonight w/ them at RnR Hotel in the upstairs bar.  Should be lots of fun- I know I'll be bringing some fun club bangers and mixing in my disco collection as I go.

If the four of us aren't a good enough reason to get you out to the Atlas District, then the BROADS are hosting a party at Jimmy Valentine's.  Come before or after or not at all.  There's a free shuttle that goes from H Street to Bladensburg Rd and back to Chinatown.

Whatever hope to see you there.  Here's a free track:
Final DJs- Twilight

Maison Does Yelle: A Cause Des Garcons

This month, Maison is getting ready to take on the gayest Frenchest pop icon of our era: Yelle.  For me, Yelle took a special place in my little gay heart from this video in which 3 dancing French boys move and groove to A Cause Des Garcons, which means "Because of Boys."  Enjoy. Oh and RSVP on FB for Maison this month: Maison: A Yelle Tribute Night

If I Ruled The World

M.I.A.'s new single & video "Born Free" (AKA Ginger Genocide): NSFW

I've been anxiously waiting for M.I.A's new album to come out in June, and yesterday I heard the first single, "Born Free."  I was definitely surprised by the song- it's more raw and more rock- makes sense that it's a rip from Suicide's "Ghost Rider."  I think this is a good move for her to move away from Lady Gaga  her copycats.

I like the song even more after watching the music video- apparently this ginger genocide epic is already banned on youtube.

M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.

erykah badu- umm hmm

finally getting around to listening to the entire new Erykah Badu Album: New Amerykah, Pt 2: Return of the Ankh.  I'll do a full review soon, but gotta talk about the track Umm Hmm real quick.  speaking so much truth right now:

Takes some time to let your

feelings show

You can’t hide You can’t hide

Skies the limit let me really know

You can’t hide You can’t hide

Umm hmm

I know I know you care for me

Umm hmm

Cause you can’t get away

Umm hmm

I’m trying to sympathize with you,

Pimpin Umm hmm

Don’t play with me play

do I look like a play thing

Umm hmm

Boy you know the drill

Umm hmm

Cause the feelings real

Umm hmm

Takes some time to let your feelings show

You can’t hide you can’t hide

Skies the limit let me really know

You can’t hide you can’t hide

feeling like daddy cool

maison and my co-dj Shea Van Horn were featured in the New York Times style section- it's pretty surreal.  My phone, twitter, fb have all been blown up.  Thanks for all of the support!  Now you really better come to Maison on March 18th- you just might get a picture in national press.  Hahaha.  This video pretty much sums up how I'm feeling at the moment (via my bromance Robbie Combs).

Tuesdays Tracks [2/16]

I'm instituting a new blog feature that will describe the tracks I'm listening to that day.  Mostly to prove I don't listen solely to house music, partly to share more music with folks.

Here are todays tracks:

Grizzly Bear- Too Little Too Late (Jo Jo Cover)- if you don't remember the original Jo Jo song (came out when she was like 13), you'll barely recognize that this song is a cover- but a great track nonetheless by the brilliant Grizzly Bear.  "You say you dream of my face, but you don't like me, you just like the chase."


Luther Vandross- Never Too Much (Odahl K-Love Remix)- you've probably heard me play this track before when I DJ.  Gahd Luther was such a kind and sad soul.  I particularly love this Odahl remix because it doesn't lose the dire yearning and sadness of Luther's original track, yet it puts an upbeat disco beat on top.  "Oh my love.  A thousand kisses from you is never too much.  I just don't wanna stop.  Oh my love.  A million days in your arms is never too much."


Notorious B.I.G.- Juicy- Dude, whenever you're down, there's nothing like Biggy to bring you right back up.  "You know very well.. who you are.  Don't let 'em hold you down.  Reach for the stars..."


Dragonette- Pick Up The Phone (Beaumont Remix)- This song and its plethora of remixes are all over the internets, but this mix is perhaps my favorite (probs b/c it is a French remixer).  But I love how this song both captures an eager desire and a grand vision of what could be.  More often than not such a strong plea, as the one in PUTP, could come off as pathetic and naive, but this song makes you believe in her effort to go out on a limb.  It's something I admire. "Pick up the phone, pick up the phone.  Congratulations I'm having visions of us Breaking everything on our way outta town.  We're going places you've never dreamed of."

Maison February 8-tracks Preview

1. Lo-Fi-Fnk- The City (The Teenagers Remix)

RSVP on FB: Maison @ Napoleon Bistro Lounge February 18th @ 9:00PM

Here's a song to get you pumped!

Lo-Fi-Fnk- The City (The Teenagers Remix)

TMY @ Duplex Diner [TONITE]

I haven't DJ'd at my 2nd home, The Duplex Diner, in a hot minute so i'm expecting a nice homecoming there tonite- so excited!  Here's my favorite pump up song of the moment to set you in the mood- by Azari & III- SOOOO GOOD!

Azari & III- Reckless For Your Love

WADDUP WEDNESDAY

People in DC are such babies- the weather has to be pristine in order for them to go out.  As a DJ/party thrower- this can be very frustrating.  There are sooo many good parties going on Friday and Saturday, and I hope people grow a pair and show up. 

If you're not one of those people, then Wednesday and Thursday have turned into this weeks Friday and Saturday.  

Here's one of my favorite Wednesday parties that I think you should definitely check out.  My hommie Lil' El DJs at Science Club every Wednesday and invites a guest DJ along- this week Doc Rok is up.  Happy Hour allll night long- check it out!  AND a throw in an mp3 at the end

Polygon Palace- Tokyo Getaway (Cassian Remix)

brief grammy recap

all i have to say to anyone who doubts lady gaga's gender identification is take a look at this:

Again the grammy's were pretty boring except for Lady Gaga's opening performance with Sir Elton John.  I kinda wish she would have done her opening number to something other than Poker Face, but her follow up duet with Elton was superb.  It was definitely a cool take on one of my fave's- "Your Song."

Another leading lady tried to get on stage with a legend, but failed miserably.  Watching Taylor Swift try to "sing" with Stevie Nicks was almost as bad as when her ex BF's band the Jonas Brothers tried to perform with Stevie Wonder.  She went on to win album of the year.  Lame.  I've never seen the gays turn so quickly on someone before in my life.  It was pretty comical.  However, there's no need to fret, gays.  Gaga proved she'll be around for a lot longer.

The other highlight for me was when the Black Eyed Peas proved once and for all that they are the biggest pieces of shit garbage that has ever made "music."  OH! and I didn't know that Pink was so into watersports?  She gave everyone in the audience some pink showers :)

Lady Gaga- Bad Romance (Grum Remix)

wad up wknd

TONITE: Homo/Sonic @ The Black Cat

DJ Natty Boom and the TNG gang are back at it for the 2nd Homo/Sonic in 1 month- WHOA!

"January is an exciting month for fans of The New Gay, good music and meeting cool people. Our last Homo/Sonic queer dance party went so well that we're getting another one in the same month. Come join regular DJs Zack and Michael, and special returning guest Natty Boom (of the Anthology of Booty) for a night of ass-shaking, booby swinging, dick-like-a-helicopter dancing to indie, electro, retro, disco, booty pop and beyond.  As usual our parties are coed, trans-inclusive and straight friendly.  See you there!  All ages $10"

There's even a pre-game for the ladies @ Nellie's beforehand!

SATURDAY: AMANDA BLANK w/ Maluca DJ's Lil El & Jackie-O! @ RNR Hotel

Have to give my home-girl Lil' El a big shout out for scoring an opening DJ set for Amanda Blank!  I'm unfortunately DJ'ing a bday party that night, but congrats and good luck!

Also on SATURDAY: SHIFT: Slay Ride 2010 @ COBALT

This is definitely one of my favorite new parties in DC, and I had one of the best times DJing it last month.  My Maison sidekick Shea Van Horn joins Ryan Duncan and Bradley Portnoy in DJing this month's Zak Efron inspired party at the amazing Wonderland Ballroom.

Weekend Preview [1/7-1/9]

I think DC is still recovering from a crazy NYE weekend as the number of events this weekend is a little down- in my opinion.  However, what the weekend outlook lacks in quantity in makes up for in quality- particularly on Friday night.

THURSDAY: hrmmmm.. not much going on tonite actually.  Duplex Diner is always a sure-fire bet for a Thursday nite though.  Also- the NCAA national championship is going on tonite.  I'm still not quite recovered from that Iowa win on Tuesday, and don't particularly like either team.  That said, it is a the final nite of a great college football season.  Go to a watch party (Nellie's is a guaranteed great place to watch the game) then head out.

FRIDAY: RAW @ Green Lantern

3 guys who got it going on in Gay DC nightlife, collectively known as Bil Van Jones, host this dirty dance party at none other than the Green Lantern.  I use this nite as one of my only excuses to go to this guilty pleasure bar and let loose.  Fun music and fun people- definitely check this nite out.
