Preview of Lost Society Restaurant and Lounge in DC

Lost Society - Boutique Steakhouse and Lounge (2001 14th ST NW DC, 20009)

 

 

UPDATE 6/10/2011: Construction is nearing completion, see NEW PICS OF LOST SOCIETY

Lost Society, set to open very soon in the thriving 14th and U neighborhood, is a boutique restaurant and lounge that fully intends to bring back the lost art of making drinks and really good steaks.  With real mixologists and gourmet chefs, they’re taking it seriously.  And for good reason too– It’ll be the first steak-centric restaurant in the neighborhood.

Set in a casual atmosphere amidst the almost opulent French decor, big windows, rich fabrics, and deep colors, patrons will find a pleasant dining atmosphere on the main floor.  A large square bar sits in the middle of the room and comfortable restaurant seating fills the room.  Its an inviting space that looks classy and upscale, but isn’t pretentious or stuffy.  Its quite laid back.

The white-walled lounge is upstairs with glass chandeliers hanging over a sizable bar, paintings on the walls, and a nice DJ booth.  Its a place where the music will be part of the ambiance, not blasting patrons on a dancefloor.  Its not a nightclub.  Its a great feel for the more mature crowd that frequents the lounges in the 14th and U district.

The big draw to Lost Society is the rooftop patio.  The building is on a prominent corner high up, and from the top you get a great view of Capitol Hill.  There are long banquettes, pillows, high bar chairs, and a little quiet music.  Half of the deck is indoors, with a bar inside so that you can enjoy the space even if its raining.  The indoor half has several large french doors that open up to the magnificent patio.  Throw in a little music, and this spot becomes quite the destination for the DC lounge crowd.

Knowing the area and the crowd was important to the concept development and design.  Partner Dave Karim, a DC nightlife veteran with well over 20 years of experience here in DC, knows the area well and made sure that this venue would match the area and would be a welcome addition to growing neighborhood.  The atmosphere, mood, and vibe of Lost Society is similar to those of neighboring locations.  Mature, laid back, upscale, modern, and appealing to the audience that frequents the area.

But by being the only steak-centric restaurant in the neighborhood (I’m drooling just thinking about the menu), and along with that killer rooftop, Lost Society will certainly not be just another face in the crowd.  They’ll be open 7 nights a week, starting with dinner at 5pm and rolling through till 2am on weekdays, 3am on weekends.

They’ll be opening very soon, so keep an eye out for updates!

He knows the music you love, how to get you going and how to keep you entertained. The problem is that he’s starting to get too good at his job. With praise from artists like Kaskade, Cosmic Gate and Tiesto, he is without question one of the top resident DJs in the country. And we’re not just saying that to help business, we mean it.

Armin van Buuren w/ Blake Jarrell: Thurs 5/26 [Special Glow THU at Fur] — Doors open at 9pm

{tab=Show Preview}

From: Holland

Style: Trance and progressive with a slight touch of house

Famous Tracks: Every track he has ever made was famous. It’s Armin.

Best Known For: The first DJ to claim the world’s #1 spot 4 years in a row (2007-present). The #1 Radio show in dance music – A State of Trance.

DJ Mag Rank: 1

Four time #1 DJ in the world. Host of the #1 radio show in dance music. Armin van Buuren exudes the best qualities you could ask for in an entertainer. His productions are gold, his events epic, his demeanor beyond friendly and approachable. Armin van Buuren has taken dance music to new heights. His Armin Only and A State of Trance events are the stuff legends are made from. He’s a former Glow resident, as Glow Washington DC was the second party he ever played in the United States.

Of course, Armin will be the first to admit that at the end of the day, all the pomp and circumstance is nothing without the fans and the music.

{tab=Bio}

Armin van Buuren has been named number one in the prestigious DJ MAG Top 100 poll four times in a row, as the first DJ in the history of the DJ Magazine and an indication of his prolific output over the more than 14 years he’s been dj’ing and producing. Being the official World’s Most Popular DJ is just one of his many achievements, but the driving force behind his success is an overriding passion for dance music.

A State of Trance
The Dutchman discovered a passion for dance music by listening to mix-tapes and radio shows, and taught himself how to create his own. 20 years later, his very own radio show A State of Trance has grown out to legendary heights. Nowadays, 15 million listeners tune into his 2 hour selection of trance and progressive, every week. For 9 years in a row and more than 450 episodes already, the A State of Trance show has been and still is a weekly highlight to many dance music lovers.

Awards & Accolades
Even a basic list of recent successes reads like a lifetime of work. Armin van Buuren isn’t ‘just’ the number one on the critically acclaimed DJ Mag Top 100, but also holds the ‘Best Global DJ’ and ‘Best Trance Artist’ title, awarded to him at the International Dance Music Awards and Beatport Awards, respectively. Radio show A State of Trance received the IDMA for ‘Best Mix Radio Show’ for 5 years in a row. Furthermore, Armin was awarded for ‘Best Podcast’, became the most popular International DJ at Australia’s Sony inthemix DJ Poll and, in March 2010, received the ‘Gouden Harp’, the highest distinction a Dutch artist can get.

Albums
Armin van Buuren has delivered four successful artist albums so far, ‘76’, ‘Shivers’, ‘Imagine’ and 2010 album ‘Mirage’. As the first dance artist in Dutch music history, his ‘Imagine’ entered the Dutch Album Top 100 Chart at number one. Hit singles ‘Going Wrong’, ‘In & Out of Love’, ‘Unforgivable’ and ‘Never Say Never’ didn’t only haunt the charts, but also became favourites of the dance crowd. The music video of ‘In & Out of Love’, featuring Dutch singer Sharon den Adel, received more than 67 million views on YouTube, holding the first position on the Dutch Top 10 of most viewed videos of all-time. Armin’s back catalogue, including ‘Blue Fear’, ‘Communication’, ‘The Sound of Goodbye’, ‘Shivers’, UEFA Youth Championship theme ‘Rush Hour’, ‘Burned With Desire’, ‘Exhale’, ‘Yet Another Day’ en ‘This World Is Watching Me’, is full of timeless tracks that wear that classic-tag and keep returning to the clubs. But, as a true artist befits, Armin keeps creating new music and has now released his fourth artist album, ‘Mirage’. For the album, Armin collaborated with the likes of BT, Christian Burns, Ferry Corsten, Adam Young and Nadia Ali. After the first single, ‘Full Focus’, the second release of the album was a collaboration with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, ‘Not Giving Up On Love’. The music video for the track was shot on party island Ibiza and includes shots of Club Amnesia, where Armin holds his residency.

Performances & Armin Only
Being the world’s number 1 DJ sees the Dutch DJ perform at some of the world’s biggest and best festivals, clubs, events and shows. One of the highlights of 2010 was Armin’s DJ set at the Museumplein in Amsterdam in July, during the honoring of the Dutch soccer team. Even though the national team lost in the FIFA Worldcup, they partied like they were the absolute winners, and so did the 200.000 strong crowd.

Sold-out shows for Armin Only in 2005 and 2006 created eager anticipation of the third edition, which kicked off in a sold-out Jaarbeurs in Utrecht in 2008; over 16,000 fans attended and were enthralled by the DJ’s nine hour set, under the name of ‘Imagine’. For his fourth artist album, ‘Mirage’, Armin will kick off another Armin Only World tour. After the first show in the sold-out Jaarbeurs in Utrecht on November 13th, Armin will continue to travel the globe with shows in 15 different countries, ranging from Australia to Ukraine, Argentina, Libanon and more.

Alex Gaudino: Sat 5/21 [Glow at Fur]

alexgaudino.com
Rise

Opening Set by Roberto Gonzalez

Saturday May 21, 2011
Fur Nightclub 33 Patterson St NE
Doors Open at 10pm, Ages 18+

{tab=Show Preview}

From: Milan, Italy

Style: Italian Disco House… ie music that makes you have fun

Famous Tracks: Destination Calabria, I’m in Love (I Wanna Do It), What a Feeling ft. Kelly Rowlnad

Best Known For: Destination Calabria!!!

Every single one of you knows who Alex Gaudino is. If you haven’t heard the massively popular 2007 hit Destination Calabria then you probably don’t listen to music. Every DJ in the world was spinning it, from hip-hop to house and everything in between. That song has contributed almost as much to house music’s crossover success as David Guetta.

{tab=Bio}

Alex Gaudino started his music biz career in 1993 in Flying Records and UMM.

In 1998 with the support of the famous Italian record company TIME, Alex founded his own label, RISE Records and soon had a string of hit records like The Tamperer and Black Legend (Alex is the only Italian A&R with two # 1’s in the UK sales chart ) and Robbie Rivera’s “Bang”, thanks to which he got a nomination as best European A&R at the European Music Awards in London in 2000.

He produced two singles in 2003 with Crystal Waters and Ultra Natè. “Destination Unknown” was played by all the key deejays, including Pete Tong and Judge Jules and reached the top of the UK Buzz charts.

There is Alex’s touch behind Supacupa and Sambatucada (Gaudino da Costa) and his remix of “Is it cos I’m cool” by Mousse T left its mark on the summer of 2004. In 2005 Lil’ Love “Little Love” was played by Pete Tong in exclusive at Nikki Beach in Miami during WMC 2005. The record came out on Positiva in UK and reached the top of the club charts; in 2006 Alex remixed Pete Tong & Chris Cox (Deep End), Mousse T (Horny) and James Kakande (You You You). Ministry of Sound released his single “Reaction” and his project Blue Lipstick “Head o ver Heels” came out on on Hed Kandi.

But the real gear-change came with “Destination Calabria”, an artful combination of Crystal Waters’ vocal with Rune’s Calabria. The track dominated the singles sales charts in UK and all over Europe launching Alex’s career as an international dj. His reputation as one of the most fun dj’s on the circuit is spreading like wildfire. He knows how to play to the crowd and is getting booked by the finest clubs on the planet. And 2008 looks all set to turn up the heat even more as the new single “Watch Out” bounces into the sales charts worldwide.

Alex is touring the coolest clubs around the world from the Soho Rooms in Moscow to Eden in Ibiza, bringing a touch of Italian style and savoir faire to the the dancefloor.
