Comments on: Beats Working Addendum Part 1: Sean Peoples http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/artsdesk/music/2008/12/23/beats-working-addendum-part-1-sean-peoples/ News and Criticism on D.C. and Beyond Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:46:45 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: DCBorn http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/artsdesk/music/2008/12/23/beats-working-addendum-part-1-sean-peoples/comment-page-1/#comment-47839 DCBorn Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:01:46 +0000 http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/blackplasticbag/?p=2808#comment-47839 Wow! This article as well as many CP articles read like a small time college review. What DC do you live in? No mention of any kind of real alternatives (Salsa, Merengue, African, Hip Hop(non-caucasian version) Reggae/DanceHall ), GO-GO (our only native music)... What audience are you catering to? No need to ask, it is clear. Might as well start listening to Thievery Corporation to get my dose of ethnic music. This article is a real piece of shit and an insult to DJ's such as Sam the Man Burns. It would've helped if you specified: Dance Parties in DC for NEW HIP,COOL TRENDY IMPORT TYPES, all ethnic flavor to be discussed in next weeks issue. Wow!

We threw four parties there last year before moving to our new, slightly bigger venue: True Story Tavern in upper Adams Morgan. Just wanted to plug Dahlak as a potential venue and let folks know that Daniel (owner) recently remodeled the bar to be more efficient at handling larger volumes of people, and at the end of 2008, he upgraded the sound system. Final result: Awesome place for throwing great-sounding small to mid-size DJ parties! I throw a a monthly alt-gay dance party called MIXTAPE and, just like Fatback, we started at Dahlak.
