24 years old, ranked #56 in the world and coming off a year highlighted by worldwide residencies for Global Gathering and Godskitchen; Menno de Jong has fast tracked himself to international superstardom.

A trailblazer in podcasting, Menno’s ‘Intuition’ show began in 2005 and now in addition to iTunes, can be heard via Sirius XM, Slam FM (Holland), and Worldspace. With tens of thousands tuning in each week, ‘Intuition’ has proven to be one of the best and most downloaded podcasts year in and year out.

Raised in Holland, de Jong has played piano for over 15 years and begins each production sitting in front of a baby grand. Some of his more famous tunes include Last Light Tonight, No Regrets, Majestic, Magma, Sjamaan and Solid State. He’s closed for the likes of Armin van Buuren and Tiesto.

With all that he has accomplished, the best part about Menno de Jong is that he’s a chill ass dude. Straight up. You can find Menno at the club, hanging out, just chillin like any of us would be. He was actually at Fur when Armin was here, just doing whatever. Watch the videos and you’ll see what we mean. It’s almost certain he’ll stick around after his gig and chat with fans, that’s Menno de Jong… a sick producer, a dope DJ, and cool as hell.

Multo bene, Benny!! Italian superstar Benny Benassi has one of the most recognizable names in music. Whether you’re a college kid who cares more about getting wasted than what song is on, an electronic dance aficionado, a parent who loves the song from that one Wendy’s commercial, or someone who watches the Grammy’s, you know about Benny Benassi.

Benny has been winning awards ever since he stepped foot on the international stage. 2003 Revelation of the year at the Italian Dance Music Awards; 2003 Dance Revelation of the year at the Danish Music Awards; 2003 DJ Mag tune of the year (Satisfaction); 2004, highest new entry rating in the DJ Mag top 100 (18); 2004 Best Video at Dancestar, Miami; 2006, “Hit my Heart” selected as the opening for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show; 2008 Grammy for Best Remixed Recording (Public Enemy – Bring the Noise).

Some of Benny’s hottest tracks include “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme,” “Come Fly Away,” (with a sick remix by Adam K & Soha) “I Am Not Drunk,” “Love is Gonna Save Us,” (a personal favorite of Benny’s) and “Who’s Your Daddy.” (with a ridiculous David Guetta remix)

Benassi is currently working on a new artist album slated for release sometime this year. The first single is called “Spaceship,” and features Kelis, Apl.De.Ap. (Black Eyed Peas), and Jean Baptiste. Check out Italian superstar Benny Benassi Saturday night at Fur Nightclub.

Paul Oakenfold at Glow GLOW Washington DC presents:

Every year from 1997 – 2004 he was top 10 in the DJ Mag poll, twice at #1 and twice at #2. From 2005-2008 he remained in the top 15. He currently sits at #23. Paul Oakenfold just might be the most consistent trance DJ ever. He is a legend. He was there when it all started and he is still here, still tearing up dance floors across the world, still pumping bass from Thailand to South Africa. Without Paul Oakenfold there might not be an Armin van Buuren, ATB, Ferry Corsten, or trance as we know it. Paul Oakenfold, along with artists like Johan Gielen, Robert Miles and M.I.K.E. took early styles of trance and molded them to what many refer to today as ‘epic’ or ‘uplifting’ trance.

Paul Oakenfold’s roots as a music pioneer run far deeper than just trance. At the age of 21 he was sneaking into Studio 54, posing as a journalist and interviewing the stars. As A&R for Champion Records in the 80’s, Paul was responsible for signing The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff as well as Salt-n-Pepa. He was also a promoter and the British agent for the Beastie Boys and Run DMC.

In the mid-late 80’s, Oakey traveled to Ibiza and was enamored by the Balearic beats. He would go on to mold the sound Ibiza is now known for. In 1992, under the name Perfecto (after his record label), Paul’s remix of U2’s “Even Better Than the Real Thing,” reached a higher chart position than… the real thing! U2 hired him the next year to be their opening act. 2 years later he was the first DJ to play the main stage at Glastonbury.

He’s remixed for U2, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, shall we keep going? He’s done the music for Saab, Toyota and Pepsi commercials. He worked on the scores to The Matrix Reloaded, Swordfish, The Bourne Identity, Shrek 2 and many others.

We didn’t need an event description for Paul Oakenfold, just a short recap of his illustrious career. To this day he remains one of DJ Mag’s top 25. If you don’t come to see Paul Oakenfold at Lima Lounge this Thursday… then you’re dumb.

The main dancefloor at LIMA

College Tuesdays at Lima Lounge in DC are always a big hit, week after week. Now that you don’t have classes early the next morning, there’s even more incentive to get out there and party! This party is ages 18+ and features $3 Bud Lights + $5 Stoli Redbulls! The best part is that Lima is a damn nice club, unlike most places that host college parties which are typically filthy, cheap, and nasty.

Lima Tuesdays take the best parts of a college party (The girls, the cheap drinks, loud music, college kids, and a covered outdoor smoking patio) and omit the crappy parts (Vomit covered floors, watered down drinks, crappy beer, cops shutting things down, etc). It’s win/win.

Plus, you can get in without having to pay the cover charge with the pass from us: HERE

Check out the insanity from Last Week, its absolutely crazy!

They’re back!!! DJ Magazine’s 4th ranked group two years running, are back in DC!! The last time they spun at Glow it was unreal; the lights and visuals of Fur Nightclub, the uplifting trance, the jubilant crowd, what could be better?

Tony, Paavo and Jono are widely considered to be giants of trance along with AvB, Tiesto, PvD, and Ferry Corsten. They have created their own distinct sound, characterized by gorgeous, inspiring melodies. It’s the kind of music that brings tears to your eyes.

From Britney Spears and Dido to Madonna, Above & Beyond has remixed countless tracks for a multitude of artists. Their label, Anjunabeats, year in and year out releases some of the best tracks, albums and sublime compilations of any label out there. Their ‘Trance Around the World (TOTW)’ radio show airs on over 15 FM, Internet and satellite stations worldwide. The Above & Beyond TV podcast is arguably the best EDM podcast available on iTunes. They have performed before some of the largest audiences of any DJ act, including 1,000,000 people in Rio de Janeiro.

You are their passion. The way they describe their inspiration will send shivers down your spine. You can read it in their bio. Here’s an excerpt: “…what we’re trying to do is connect with people. You try and describe something in your own life, but in a way that will resonate with other people… We like to think of ourselves as songwriters first… That’s our approach to music. The most challenging thing is to write a song that really touches the listener.”

Come check out Above & Beyond at Fur Nightclub this Saturday. Cause hey, they don’t do it for themselves, they do it for you.

Fur Nightclub features 5 rooms of partying on Saturday Nights!

-The Main Room (House-Progressive-Trance)
-The Martini Room with Chris Styles from Hot 995 (Hip Hop-Old School, R&B)

If you’re tired of the same crappy clubs and lame parties, its time to upgrade to Ultrabar Nightclub DC. Ladies Night Fridays has been consistenly ranked as one of the top parties in the DC nightlife scene since 2008, and features 4 great DJs playing on 5 floors, with six bars to get your drink on!

Roger Sanchez at GLOW at Lima Lounge!

Along with Junior Vasquez, David Morales and Danny Tenaglia, Sanchez helped pioneer the sound of NY house; taking it international and ending up an icon in Ibiza. 2007 saw Roger take down the Ibiza DJ Award for Best House DJ as well as a top 25 ranking in DJ Magazine’s acclaimed poll. He was #13 in the first ever DJ Mag top 100 poll (1997) and he’s still in it today!! Currently ranked #60, he has lost absolutely none of his swagger. His set last fall at Made Event’s Electric Zoo in NYC was without question one of the best. He’s about the music, not the hype.
