    places I've played funk to less than enthusiastic audiences in dc:
    wonderland ballroom
    club 5 roof
    r&r hotel
    st. Ex
    18th st. Lounge

    Dc is a house town. Check out Sam burns' sundays at ESL. Not funk, but by far the most energy in a night in dc

    Don't Meistro Moroco and Deep Sang do "dirty bombs" out there?

    no doubt.

    also, nitekrawler does some authentic goodness along with the secret chimp and som posse.

    and don't forget the funkDC boys always holdin' it down like clock work in the city.

    I don't know who'll be playing there on a Thursday night, but a good bet would be Marvin @ 14th and U NW. They will undoubtedly be playing the funk.

    And if you get there on the earlier side you can pretty much take over that room, especially if there are a bunch of you. Snag a bunch of tables and you're set. You can get a pretty good dancefloor going in there too.

    The food there's pretty good.. "Belgian soul food." A little pricey, but you could have dinner and then jump upstairs and take over the joint.

    My b-day's the 28th, maybe I'll drop in and do a shot with the birthday girl!

    indeed we do. Third fridays. Not a funk/soul night really, but we pretty much always play funk/disco/soul for a portion of the night. Hip hop, house, dancehall too.

    And major on Sam Burns @ ESL. Best party in the city. I always wondered why dude didn't blow up beyond DC cause he's been killing it here forever (I think he is 50).

    The dude is a bad ass. I've caught him some nights when it was like a religious experience - the man goes deeeep.

    If you ever feel like driving south to dirty Richmond there???s a great night building up called Soulpower RVA by DJ Pari and Troy Hurt. It happens at a place called Ipanema on Grace Street every first Saturday of the month. I'll be a guest on April 5th and I???m really exited to play with these professionals. Recommended!!!

    Unfortunately, I've got nothing for ya on the 27th but here are my usual Soul/Funk/related parties in DC:

    1- Every 1rst Thursday of the month, every month
    Bionic @ Bourbon (2321 18th St., NW Washington DC)
    Funk-Soul-CarribeanGrooves-Disco-Afrobeat
    10-close
    w/ DJ Nitekrawler

    2- Every 2nd Thursday of the month, every month.
    HEAT @ Saint Ex (1847 14th Street, NW Washington DC)
    Funk-Soul-CarribeanGrooves-Disco-Afrobeat
    10-close
    DJ Nitekrawler

    HEAT is my longest running funk/soul night, I've been DJing the funky stuff there for almost 3 years now. You should definitely come out and say hey.

    Troy and Pari's nights in Richmond are excellent. Not super close, but worthy of the drive.

    I also DJ at Wonderland, every third Saturday. Myself and DJ Lunch Money play a pretty large amount of funk/soul/disco as well as hip hop, 80s & classic party jams.

    This Thursday I'm spinning at the Modernist Society Monthly Social at Bourbon in Adams Morgan (we're a Washington Post pic this week):

    I also spin funk and soul regularly at the Science Club (last Fridays every month, so this Friday) and at Marvin most weekends (this Saturday).
    If you like Brazilian music I have the best (only) Brazilian night in the city at Cafe Saint-Ex every third Thursday. It's packed from 10PM on (with a lot of Brazilians no less). Next one is April 17.
    PM me if you need more deets.
