J*Davey w/ Maimouna Youssef :: Wed. 7/7

Buy Tickets

For those in the know...we'll see you at the show. Make sure to tell your friends. People were mad for weeks after their last shows in DC.
This group is opening for Erykah Badu on the West Coast...has opened for Prince...need I say more? You need to see them when you can.

Ms. Maimouna Youssef is also on the bill. Having been on tour with and the voice behind the Almighty Roots Crew's song "It Don't Feel Right", singing behind Zap Mama and the young end of the genre defying 3 Generations...last we heard of her she was rocking to stage with her good friends Navasha and Cody Chesnutt for her birthday. We missed her though. So she's back to warm up things for the Dynamic Duo, Brook and Jack.

And now a message from our sponsor...

"We've recently wrapped recording on our Warner Bros debut album titled New Designer Drug, & we're ready for a breath of fresh inspiration that only the wide open road can provide. Brook & I have been working hard to revamp our live set in an effort to include new songs, jarring visual accompaniment & an electronic stimulation that only J*DaVeY can create."
-Miss Jack Davey

So this is one you gotta check out. Think golden era, Native Tongues type production and a good solid flow, cadence and...drumroll...a FEMALE MC! Yeah man. This is something that is underated in hiphop and you probably don't know you miss it but you do. (jedi mind trick wave of the hand)

Ana or Anita, hails from France by way of Chile.

She was invited to play SXSW this year...checkout what the Gurus over at CouchSessions had to say about her.

You like Radiohead right? Well...they like her. (At least Thom Yorke does.)

Well...more importantly we like her too. :) We've teamed up with re/route dc (watch for them) to bring this to you just after her appearances at Summer Stage and Latin Alternative Music Conference.

JUST ADDED.....DTMD! Dunc and Toine get things warm with their true school inspired style of hiphop.

We bring you more of all the rage nowadays, electro-pop from the Norse States. The unique, where did they come up with that sound from the great expanses of the north. (Our theory...they're receiving some kind of mental download from aliens that was really meant for the Vikings but has been bouncing around in space for the last few hundred years.)

Quadron hails from Denmark and has recently been signed to Plug Research (Bilal, Ammon Contact, Flying Lotus, Carlos Nino). The duo is bringing a fresh new feel and sound to the soul/R&B genre.

Don't Sleep.
