Flashing Lights in DC

U Street Music Hall is becoming my favorite venue. New York City's Flashing Lights party is coming to DC's UHall on April 8th. One week before Trouble & Bass start their monthly party. The Flashing Lights Crew does NOT disappoint. Check out some of their mixes avail for free on their website http://www.flashinglightslightslights.com

Here's a little background into the trifectic trio: FLASHING LIGHTS is the neon brainchild of some of the city’s most beloved selectors: DJ AYRES (responsible for 7+ sweaty years of The Rub parties at Southpaw), NICK CATCHDUBS (remix/mixtape phenom and co-founder of the hit indie label Fool’s Gold) and JUBILEE (BK bass sweetheart behind her own Nightshifters imprint). Over the past year, these three constantly-touring DJs have worked tirelessly to launch a genuinely fun and unpretentious electronic dance party in their own hometown. HOUSE+DISCO+TECHNO+RAVE as the block-letter flyers plainly state: no hype, just tuuunes!

The FL trio have branded their party as a true destination, thanks to exciting and unpredictable sets blending brand new music and revitalized dance classics. With guest sets from big name friends (A-Trak, Klever, Drop The Lime), local heroes (Todd Edwards, DJ Dara, Sabo) and breaking talent (La Roux, Toddla T, Nadastrom), each edition brings new musical delights. By teaming up with party promoters Mean Red and Good Peoples, the team has been able to keep the crowd bumping in giant clubs, underground lounges and hijacked dim sum restaurants alike. As the New Yorker says, “recent Flashing Lights parties have been high-spirited, low-attitude events that recall the mood of New York City dance clubs from the early eighties, like Danceteria. Remember: the event is actually for dancers, rather than for people who need to text each other in public.”
