fresh: "BEYONCÉ MAJRmix" - DJ MAJR

As the quarterly insanity that is my SIREN dance party (this quarter it's THE BEYONCÉ BALL) approaches, I have taken the time to develop, mix, edit, release, and honor the diva who is BEYONCÉ Knowles...

...or as my friend and I used to call her, BAYWUNZ KANOHLAYZ!

26 SONGS | 52 MINS | NON-STOP FIERCE

Here's some info about the upcoming (destined to be epic) party, taken from the Facebook invite

SIREN RETURNS for its quarterly dance party shitshow, and this time we put on our freakum dress, get you bodied, and put your bootylicious love on top 'til you lose your breath...and also get your ass drunk.

Hooray!

We plan to honor our favorite humanitarian fierce-ass diva queen almost acceptable actress extraordinaire, BEYONCÉ Giselle Knowles-Carter. We are going to destroy the green lantern with everything from her amazing hits, to Destiny's Child classics, to the artists she has inspired...

This bitch has more weaves than a basket factory, more sass than the tranny hookers on 4th street, and more raw talent than her precious little Texas mind can grasp. 

And, she lets Jay-Z give her the business... which we can imagine takes some dexterity.

DC PRIDE FRIDAY - DJ MAJR + many others @ Newseum

So, I return to the big Pride stage for its official party for the third consecutive year! How exciting. After doing the Hirshhorn two years ago, and the Hilton Ballroom last year, I was asked for a 3rd consecutive year to DJ one of the most exciting events of the year! I'm so pumped! It's going to be an over-the-top supergay rainbow extravaganza. AND, best of all it's 9pm-1am, which means you can totally go out and drink yourself into an early grave afterward, too. Wooohooo! Details and press release below!

Capital Pride & Brightest Young Things Announce

Official Pride Party: “Somewhere…”

Newseum to Host the Official Party of Capital Pride on Friday, June 10

Thursday, May 12, 2010

Washington, DC – Today, Capital Pride and BrightestYoungThings.com announced an exciting collaboration to present the official party of the 2011 Capital Pride Celebration. “Capital Pride & Brightest Young Things present: Somewhere…” will be an over-the-top event held at the Newseum on Friday, June 10 from 9:00pm to 1:00am.

"Capital Pride is proud to team with the Newseum and Brightest Young Things to celebrate the LGBT community in the D.C. area," said Scott Lusk, Communications Director for Capital Pride. "We look forward to the seeing the entire community - including allies and friends - joining us to celebrate diversity in Washington, DC."

This is the second year that Brightest Young Things has partnered with Capital Pride, and the third event that BYT has produced at the Newseum this past year. Talent will feature international DJ Lauren Flax, DJ and performer Ultra Naté along with DJ collaborator Lisa Moody, and popular Washington DJs Natty Boom (of DJ collective Anthology of Booty and the Homo/Sonic parties) and DJ MAJR (of the popular parties SHIFT and SIREN). Additional details will be announced soon, but Brightest Young Things already promises an over-the-top fete complete with cocktail bars in every elevator and a dance party in the Newseum’s six-story atrium.

“The ‘Somewhere…’ theme of this party is the perfect tribute to Capital Pride,” said Svetlana Legetic, Editor of Brightest Young Things. “Somewhere…” is the better place that we all dream of. It is whatever you want it to be. Capital Pride has been creating that better place here in Washington for thirty-six years. Of course, Brightest Young Things is working to ensure that any party that alludes to a place ‘over the rainbow’ is over-the-top itself. I’ve been in three staff meetings already on this event where serious conversations have centered on rainbow lasers, glitter, and a benefit analysis of utilizing prancing ponies versus purple unicorns.”

“Capital Pride & Brightest Young Things Present: Somewhere…” will be held on Friday, June 10 at the Newseum. A limited number of pre-sale tickets are currently available at $15. Tickets are available at: http://dcpride.eventbrite.com

Capital Pride is organized by Capital Pride Alliance, Inc., a non-profit entity incorporated in the District of Columbia with the sole purpose of supporting, planning, implementing and assessing the annual Capital Pride events and related activities throughout the year. Capital Pride’s 36th Anniversary Celebration will feature nearly two weeks of activities, events and educational forums beginning June 2^nd and running through June 12th.

Brightest Young Things bills itself as an online afterparty for the interesting and interested of Washington, DC. It has grown to become the go-to place for information on Washington’s nightlife art, and comedy scene. With dozens of photographers and writers, BYT documents the culture of the District of Columbia. Last year, Brightest Young Things launched its BYGays initiative (www.brightestyoungthings.com/gays) in an effort to develop the talents of local gay writers, performers, and photographers.

SHIFT: Slay Ride 2010

SHIFT is back at it with what is sure to be THE BEST ending to the first month of 2010! We welcome you back to the dark jaws of electro . indie . pop . and we're ready to sink our teeth in once again! We missed you!

WHO: You + All your friends + Poor life choices, 21+
WHAT: The best dancing of your life
WHEN: SATURDAY Jan. 30th, 10p-3a
WHERE: Cobalt (17th and R NW DC)
WHY: When you don't come, Satan cries... and we can't have that.


So, here's to a joyous round of senseless dancefloor debauchery and good f***ing music. The weather has been really EFFed in the A, so let's fend off another cold spell with what SHIFT does best:

1.) Escaping into the Disco Dungeon
2.) Dancing your face off
3.) Making your liver very angry
4.) Forgetting half the evening in a good way... what else is there?

oh... and
5.) We WILL NOT drink a bottle of Bain de Soleil, just because it smells like bananas!!

It's very simple, as always...
CHEAP BOOZE + GREAT MUSIC + ESCAPIST ATMOSPHERE = DANCE YOUR FACE OFF.
