DILLA DILLA BEATS BEATS... 2/25

Jay Dee/Dilla/J Dilla/Dilla Dawg/Dill Withers/James Yancey both entered and left this world in the month of February, so it would be a travesty to let the month completely pass without paying proper tribute and celebrating the incredible music that was his life's work. With that thought in mind, tonight's party at Marvin should be amazing!

Thursday, February 25, 2010
9pm
Marvin
2007 14th St NW DC

The all-star DJ lineup:
RBI | Stylus | Book | JahSonic | 2-Tone Jones | Roddy Rod | J-Laine
& Special Guests

$5 Donation (Proceeds to benefit The JDILLA Foundation)

The line-up of DJs alone should be enough to let you know that this event will be CRUCIAL. It's a CCCA & Decipher family takeover!

I'll be on the radio from 10-11pm (it's the last week of pledge drive-- please support WPFW and our show!!), but I fully intend on breaking land speed records getting from WPFW to 14th & U as soon as I get off-the-air!

Hope to see you there!

THIS JUST IN: I suddenly don't feel so bad about missing the first couple hours of the party at Marvin tonight... I've got an interview lined-up with Brand Nubian! They'll be at Liv on Saturday, so I'll help you get your mind right for that show as well. Yeah, that isht didn't happen... and that's why I never tease interviews before I've got the bamma(s) on the phone or sitting in the studio!

Saturday, February 27, 2010
9pm
Liv
2001 11th St NW DC

Featuring:
VON | Underdog| RBI | God's Killa A.W.R. BBoys | Tarica June | 2-Tone | Cornel West Theory

Tune in tonight, then let's hit the streets!

Refuge with DJ Stylus

Deepness, newness, funkiness, and some feel good joints. Joints you need in your life and joints you forgot used to give you life. Lots of records saved up for moments that never come, so they never get shared. Until now.

For folks who miss the thrill of DJ sets focused on breaking records and covering new ground.

For those who need a mid-week soul infusion.

For the faithful who trust the DJ.

For open souls looking to connect.

For couples looking to reconnect.

For head-nodding that eventually draws you out of your seat.

For those looking for others who "get it."

For those who mourned when the term "grown & sexy" was coined and then ruined.

Special surprises and interesting friends will make appearances.

Refuge is a space for serious music heads, a playground to break new records and unearth rare overlooked gems, and a taste of nostalgia.

with DJ Stylus
and special guests

"The Exorcism"

We're taking Jin back from the bammas with aspirations of balling who are too cheap to do it at Love.

Savor the entertainment of watching faces crack as all stupid requests are met with a deadpan "no."

Treat your ears and your dancing shoes to the newest, freshest, most interesting black music that's out right now, and the classics that too often go overlooked!

Experience one night where the dj's will enforce a strict NO COONERY zone!
