Our boys Will Eastman, the man behind Blisspop, and Jesse, aka Tittsworth, alongside members of Thievery Corporation and other DC djs and nightlife luminaries, have just opened what I consider to be DC's best and most promising dance venue in Washington DC's history. It's name is U Street Music Hall. Epic I know, but read on.

DC has always had a problem with it's nightclubs. The venues have always been multi-roomed fiascos, snooty door people, absolutely ABSURD dress codes (dress shoes...seriously??), putting a barrier between the DJ and the fans who wanted to DANCE. Basically, they were commercialized top 40 venues selling table service.

U Street Music Hall is none of that. It's the most minimally decorated nightclub I've been to in DC, throwing back to a warehouse vibe. There's no absurd table BS, just one line to enter, two bars, a stage on one side, and a massive DJ booth facing out onto the massive wood and cork-layered dance floor. The sound system, is without question, the best system in Washington DC. And it's location, a sprawling basement underneath the bank and 7-Eleven between 11th and 12th on U Street, will be the new homestead in DC to some of the world's best underground talent and DJs in the next coming weeks, months, and I hope, years.

Two massive New York City parties are bringing their crews down to U Hall, last week was Flashing Lights with Jubilee, Nick Catchdubs, and Ayres, and tonight is Trouble & Bass. With this kind of momentum, one can only imagine what the future will bring.

As I said, tonight is a pretty big one, fans of bass in the nation's capital will not want to miss the arrival of Brooklyn-based Trouble & Bass' first DC Monthly. We were so excited about this, we helped out on the DC T&B flag mashup logo 😉

U Hall will be filled with tunes selected by the Trouble & Bass crew: The Captain, Star Eyes, Udachi, UK talent TOMB CREW, and local talent Jackie O. plus others.

Definitely not a party to miss! Free before 11:30pm, $8 after. Oh and it's 18+. See how many T&B stickers you see in DC after tonight.
