dj’s

Pete Welsch has been DJing with the DC-based Fatback crew since 2006, and he’s seen DC’s dance scene move from scary rave music (thank you, Jesus) to a culture that embraces genres from all across the spectrum: garage rock, house, electro, etc. Wonkabout asked the funk/soul/boogaloo DJ to dish about DC nightlife and dance muzak.

Even your mom has heard of famous celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson, because of the whole famous-celebrity girlfriend thing. Ronson’s the guest DJ tonight at Lux Lounge. You must go to the Lux website for special secret RSVP instructions (it involves sending an RSVP email to get on the list).

Sonar’s Taxlo Dance Party is on this Friday, featuring one hell of a lineup: music from Atlanta-based DJ-of-the-moment, Treasure Fingers and a live performance from Blaqstarr, who collaborates with the likes of Diplo and MIA.
