Do you usually get good talent? Is the metro the best way to get in and out of DC? I look forward to the move and I also look forward to meeting some great TA's! I have met some great people from the Florida forums and hope to do the same in the DC area! Ill be totally moved by Sept 1. Thanks a lot and hope to meet some of you soon! Simon

Where will you live? In DC itself or MD or VA?

Let me know when you are in town I live in NY but work in DC and am doing some events there with NY talent.

What do you like? For trance, Glow @ Fur is best. There are a couple of monthly techno parties in the city that are some of the best in the area (88 parties and the Life parties). Stranger Than Paradise has been having some solid disco events. Def check out U Street Music Hall, Sweet Spot, 18th Street Lounge (owned by the Thievery Corp guys- awesome house party on Sunday nights with Sam the man Burns, a fixture in the DC house scene), Transit in VA on Wednesdays, Lima on Thursdays, Tabaq rooftop on Sunday afternoon to name a few.

Like I said, let me know The agency I'm working for represents a few of the DC djs/producers, so I'm familiar with what goes on on any given night

Not really... We are doing events to give exposure to a new booking agency and showcase its roster djs/producers

Wow, I need to check TA more *sigh* i'm sort of starting the miss the part where I get to dance on the floor and go crazy :-(

I live in DC and do social media, provide online content (Glow TV, Glow Radio w/ Des McMahon, articles, etc) and deal with artist management sometimes.

We have a Thursday party at Lima. Bookings in the last year include everyone from Joris Voorn, Timo Maas, Steve Lawler and Boris to Chuckie, Calvin Harris and Laidback Luke.

We're starting a new event on Fridays at Josephine. It takes a sophisticated, miami lounge-style approach to EDM with the dancefloor and VIP/bottle service area blending. Upcoming bookings include Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Mark Knight, Cedric Gervais, Fedde le Grand and more.

And of course we have Saturdays at Fur. ATB, Kaskade, Avicii, Armin, Markus, Ferry, Steve Angello, A&B, David Guetta, SvD, Cosmic Gate, etc.

We also have Skrillex Mothership Tour Coming up, some DC Armory 10k person massives planned, Dayglow, and a deal with live nation that has us doing events at the fillmore - moby in october and a super secret 2 day show next month.

We have a free admission pass on our facebook fan page: Glow Washington DC

you can find future line ups on clubglow.com

As Chaska said, the 88 and Life parties are sweet. Life does guys like Lee Foss, Wolf & Lamb, Thug******, Maya Jane Coles, Chris Fortier, Mr. C

88 has brought Richie Hawtin and Gaiser and other kick ass techno artists. Their parties have an amazing eclectic vibe.

88 and life do their parties mostly at The Loft/Warehouse, Sweet Spot and U-Hall.

Was just talking to Chaska last week about the amazing things she's doing here, strengthening the local scene and providing some really dope techno options as well as bridging the NY-DC gap.

U-Hall also has some amazing moombahton parties, as the genre was invented here in DC as well as kick ass bookings (Charles Feelgood, etc.)

If you like dubstep and/or drum and bass you can always party with the 3D guys. They book artists like Hulk and Goldie

Thx Ravi We try! Was very nice to get to chat with you for a while.

Seeing how the scene in DC is proves what we are trying to do a bit difficult, since everyone is following the big names there. If you had been @ Funxion this past Friday, you would've seen DC doesn't really need to bring big names, you have so much talent right in your backyard! The techno just. didn't. stop. I had people coming up to me all night to say it was some of the best music they had heard in DC in a very long time. Even the management of Funxion was very happy with the music we brought.

Some locals like Jubilee (with Stranger Than Paradise and Hidden Recordings) have been in the game for a while and can rock a party as a headliner, and other young ones like Dave Martin (who is Life's resident) bring a fresh sound to what could easily become stale. Changing the point of view of the average partygoer is such a challenge when all promoters are bringing in big names for a draw to their parties, so our approach is a bit different. We are trying to basically educate without being condescending, bringing underground NY talent (dirty secret basement types who are making waves in the NY underground and also producing amazing stuff- our first guest has made some serious deep techno bangers) to play alongside DC locals who deserve to be heard. A little more unity in the scene wouldn't hurt either, seems a lot have forgotten where our music comes from. It really doesn't hurt us if our parties don't do well because we are a booking/artist management agency; it just hurts YOUR locals.

With that said, we had pretty solid first 2 events We are having our DC showcase @ Sweet Spot on the 26th with 4 locals who play a bit of everything (no techno this time though), mainly prog and electro for the night (Info HERE). We have this kid playing with us who was Dubfire's last protege before Dubfire left DC to tour all over and start Sci+Tec. Good stuff

And the guest from NY I had last Friday, Craft from Twice as Proper in NY is putting together a Twice as Proper DC soon with his partner Shadi, Oliver Caine from Hidden Recordings and Dave Martin (don't sleep on this kid!). I'll let you guys know We are also planning to do our second Set Sessions in September, will give you confirmation sometime next week
