SEAL OF APPROVAL – (DC) SHERELL ROWE – Red Palace – 1/6/11

We at True Genius Requires Insanity enjoy dancing nearly as much as we enjoy breathing. We also have an extreme affinity for pop music. As well, we’re also at a point with our twin loves of dance and pop where we feel that there are two acts who deserve time to shine. If you’re a reader of the site, you already know how we feel about Baltimore’s Lazerbitch. Libby Picken and Maxwell Houston have an evolving pop sensibility that only improves by the track. We’d also like to take the time to introduce everyone to DC’s Dark Planet Records’ own dance pop diva, the wonderful Sherell Rowe.

LISTEN TO SHERELL ROWE’S SINGLE “SEX TOY”

In 2011, TGRI is all about reforming standards in a slumping music industry and standing behind who and what we believe in. In 2010, we featured Sherell and her mix of sultry sounds and enticing charisma as the vocal performance during our Soul Train Happy Hour at U Street Music Hall. Her presence was not just limited to this performance though. She was a feature performer on a number of occasions at wildly popular gay/lesbian dance night Pink Sock at DC’s Wonderland Ballroom, and was a feature performer just a few nights ago at Brightest Young Things’ New Years Eve extravaganza. She also released an EP with an excellent lead singles in “Sex Toy” and “Ordinary” that has begun to get critical acclaim from music industry insiders and numerous key players in the blogosphere.

On Thursday night, we’re happy to sponsor Sherell, alongside fellow Dark Planet Records acts that we’ve featured before like the dance/rap hybrid of the Roll Wit Us All Stars, Cyra and the excellent and developing heavy and hard electro style of producer/DJ DJ Lemz at the Atlas District’s Red Palace. We urge all of you in the DC area able to come out for the show to do so, as the Dark Planet family of performers are easily the most criminally underrated in the city. It’s a guaranteed good time out for all involved, and even better, there’s an iPad being raffled off by the label.

Enjoy!

SEAL OF APPROVAL – (DC/BMORE) – BALTIMORE BASS CONNECTION XMAS PARTY – 12/22-23/10

Simply put, the Baltimore Bass Connection run indy music. They were built for it. A loose connection of friends all unified by a) living in Baltimore b) being some of the hungriest and most creative DJs and musicians in the industry and c) loving bass, the crew threw weekly parties at Baltimore’s Ottobar starting in 2005 that were focused on indie pop, punk, no wave, hip hop, electro, soul and Baltimore club music. Literally everyone touched by the spirit of those parties has gone on to be a leading and cutting edge contributor to the forward movement of progressive music. From a producer like XXXChange to the Death Set, to Emily Rabbit, to Scottie B, the Taxlo crew, and so on and so forth, it’s an impressive list. Upon looking at the flyers, it’s literally the most impressive who’s who of the underground, and in putting them together in the same place at the same time, something magical, incredible, electric and possibly frightening is guaranteed to take place.

I went to my first BBC Xmas party at Sonar in 2008. The night was a study in madcap insanity turning into uncontrolled mayhem. With dancing involved. Of the gang of highlights from the night, the most amazing would be involving The Death Set playing while set up on the floor of the club stage at Sonar, and performing amidst a sea of revelers. As in, there’s Johnny Siera, and he’s pretty much yelling in someone’s face, and they don’t care at all. As well, Ninjasonik made themselves as a band to watch when I saw forty partiers jump onstage with them and go word for word and rhyme by rhyme with “Bars.” Plus, between Sonar’s Club Stage and Talking Head, there had to be 500 people in there, and though it was cramped, there was a palpable sense of community, an excitement that the place was here and the time was now.

Interview with Johnny Siera of The Death Set

DC is the new Baltimore. The BBC folks are easily comparable to the endless stream of progressive and talented DJs, producers and performers informing the next generation of underground culture now living in DC. If needing a guidebook on how to do it, the OGs are going to be in town at U Street Music Hall tonight, and class is in session. If you want your ass blown off your body, to leave a sweaty mess and be generally mindfucked into giddy oblivion, tonight is for you. AND, if you haven’t had enough, you can take a striaght shot up 295 to Sonar tomorrow, and stand ground zero in Sodom and Gomorrah.

This is my favorite party of the year. Soon, it will be yours as well. Happy Holidays.

SEAL OF APPROVAL – (DC) BELL BIV DEVOE – LIV – 12/19/10 – An appreciation.

The most significant development in my life as a young man was a devotion to New Jack Swing. Starting with the eponymous Teddy Riley produced single by Wreckx N Effect in 1990, I was hooked to the blend of hip house with hip hop break beats. When New Edition went “on hiatus” in 1990, I was devastated. Yes, I was a major fan of the NE Heartbreak album, and, I was 12 years old. Ronnie, Ricky, Mike, Johnny and Ralph had a lot left to teach me about many things, most importantly, romance and swagger. The most important moment of my youth at that point was the remix to the title track of the NE Heartbreak album. It was edgy, progressive and dance friendly, and featured a rap breakdown where Michael Bivins asked a “foxy young lady” “whose man was corny” to “cut that zero” because he was a “fly young guy who could shake and bake.” As a portly, nerdy “zero” at the time, I wanted nothing more than to aspire that level of confidence.

http://www.youtube.com/v/ZieygZyvw4A?fs=1&hl=en_US

Bobby Brown was too crazy, Johnny Gill was a beggar like Keith Sweat, and Ralph Tresvant alternated too quickly between the smooth cool of “Sensitivity” to the edge of “Rated R” for me to care. But Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe set the standard that R & B follows to this day and I also can than them for teaching me pretty much every lesson that directly affected my journey into romantic discovery. Sean “Puffy” Combs couldn’t have come up with the sonic and stylistic canvas for Jodeci and Mary J. Blige if it weren’t for “Poison” mentioning hoes and smacking up, flipping and rubbing down the booty on record, while Michael Bivins rocked Polo boots on album covers, or the 12″ dance remix of “Do Me,” which features one of the deepest wah wah guitar grooves of the new jack swing generation. Every group of significance thereafter from kiddie fare like Another Bad Creation to Immature, to the extra adult fare of R. Kelly were entirely dependent upon BBD’s swagger and forward thinking style to craft their rise to fame.

http://www.youtube.com/v/A7m16mrY-l4?fs=1&hl=en_US

Yes, they sang great ballads, too, but “When Will I See You Smile Again?” and it’s bedroom intensity really wasn’t going to help me out much at the 7th grade dance like “Do Me” or “Dope.” I presume I’m not the only person that feels this way about BBD, hence I urge everyone in reading vicinity of this column to come out to Liv on Sunday night to recall an innocent (or not so innocent) age. Doors at 6 PM, tickets $30 at the door. Yes, it’s a grown and sexy price, but really? I’m presuming that between their BBD hits, and a possible run through a few New Editions classics, it’s the best early Christmas gift available.

Enjoy!

SEAL OF APPROVAL – FREE JAMES BROWN HAPPY HOUR – U STREET MUSIC HALL – 12/10/10

On December 25, 2009, the music industry lost its most influential modern legend when “Soul Brother Number One,” the “Sex Machine,” “Mr. Dynamite,” “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business,” “The King of Funk,” “Minister of The New New Super Heavy Funk,” “Mr. Please Please Please Please Himself,” “I Feel Good,” “Hardest Working Man in Show Business” and “Godfather of Soul” James Brown passed away. There is not a genre of music that Brown did not touch or was influential in the development of. Early disco and house couldn’t exist without the funk breakdowns of his rhythm sections. Baltimore club owes a significant portion of its entire success to the breakdown of “Think,” a track by James Brownbackground vocalist turned solo artist Ann Peebles. Hip hop? Well, the entire genre is built on the vocal inflections, funk, soul and iconic nature of the voice and music of the legend. With core influences in intenrational dance styles as well and at the major point of influence of all music, James Brown is a legend worthy of an epic celebration.

In 1988, James Brown was sentenced to three years in prison and many in the hip hop community felt he was unjustly imprisoned. The response? A movement based around the concept of “FREE JAMES BROWN.” Now, 22 years later, Brown is eternally free, so we celebrate him with a FREE happy hour in honor of his life and contributions, an event which flips the lid on his darkest hour and makes it his brightest. From 5-10 PM on December 10th, DJs Harry Hotter, Jerome Baker III, and Baltimore representatives James Nasty and Johnny Blaze fete likely the most important artist in the development of dance music.

Harry Hotter is a truly dominant turntablist, blending disparate styles to create the diaspora of funk and soul in his sets, not unlike James Brown throughout his career.

Jerome Baker III is a rising hip hop centric but genuinely party rocking DJ that brings a definite aura of excitement and frenetic energy fueled by classic and current breakbeats and crowd anthems.

James Nasty is the fastest rising DJ in Baltimore Club music at the moment. Working with Bmore Original Records, his best club selections display an attention to base desire and and populist fervor, two elements core to the James Brown tradition.

Jonny Blaze is a true Baltimore club music legend. The DJ has been spinning for over twenty years and is as ribald of a personality as he is talented as a DJ. His sets are unforgettable, pulse pounding and bass rattling moments in time, His tracks also appeal to populism and take unexpected turns down musical pathways that still keep the dance floor filled with energy. He’s also the headliner. The only man that could headline. On a level of personality, creative flavor, style and talent.

Playing selections from Brown’s catalog, the catalogs of those who played with him, and also the catalogs of those who were inspired by him, this is an event where I can almost guarantee you won’t hear the same track twice and it’s a guaranteed dance party all night long.

AND now, the finest performance in the history of music. James Brown from Britain’s TAMI show in 1964. On a show with The Barbarians, The Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Marvin Gaye, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Lesley Gore, Jan and Dean, Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, The Rolling Stones and The Supremes, it was James Brown and his Famous Flames that completely were a step above the competition. Enjoy, and if in the vicinity, come to U Street Music Hall tonight.

SEAL OF APPROVAL: (DC) Party Rockers: Master of the Mix Viewing Party – Lux Lounge – 11/3/10

The culture of being a celebrity DJ has never been a hotter topic than at this very moment in American popular culture. Between the Jersey Shore, Swedish House Mafia’s upcoming Take One documentary, and DJs like David Guetta are releasing top selling pop artist albums, there’s a deep interest in DJ culture like never before.

However, DJ culture has always been a key component of one art form, hip hop music. BET related network Centric has noted this, and has developed a reality DJ competition show, Party Rockers: Master of the Mix, which kicks off tonight on the network at 10:30 PM, with a re-airing Saturday at midnight on parent network BET. Legends Just Blaze and Kid Capri host the program which features seven turntablists spinning and competitng in typical reality show format until there is a winner.

Tonight at Lux Lounge Lil So So Entertainment with a plethora of community partners provides a three level event that kicks off weekly Wednesday night viewing parties for the program, an event at starts at 8 PM. There will be DJ tutorials, sets by noted local mixers DJ Stylus, DJ Jahsonic, DJ Book, DJ Dredd, Adrian Loving and DJ RBI on the main level, a second level featuring live painting by Aniekan, and an upstairs lounge hosted by the underrated and excellent Hip Hop Cincema Cafe, featuring excellent DJ documentaries Scratch and Two Turntables and a Mic.

This is a mixologist or mixologist fan’s wet dream, and is a must attend event on the ever growing DC social calendar.

RSVP by 4 PM today, November 3rd at http://www.lilsoso.com/

SEAL OF APPROVAL: (DC) BOOM feat. James Nasty, Oh Snap and Ratt Moze @ DC9 – 10/5/10

Welcome to the third year of True Genius Requires Insanity. At every turn, TGRI is now all about the evolution from blog to lifestyle brand. On a creative level, year three is going to be all about showcasing those artists who exceed expectation. As well, we’re all about the desire to inform the universe of what is great either before it blows up, and also sifting through the detritus of what we’ve forgotten and reminding everyone of its never ending legacy continuing brand of excellence.

The Rum Sessions Vol. 1 – Ratt Moze by djrattmoze

Opener for tomorrow night’s BOOOOOM party at DC9 DJ Ratt Moze exceeds expectations. The Detroit, Michigan native and Bmore club fanatic has had a first year of DJing that is quite typical of most first year DJs, filled with a constant learning curve and consistent growth as a selector. Where he exceeds expectation are the crowds he regularly plays in front of at the Rock and Roll Hotel on weekends, and having the drive to always attempt to position himself with top names of the industry. He has aligned with DJs who play parties that bring quality performers to his capacity crowds who have yet to significantly break the DC market to DC, succeeding with the likes of Libby (now Zna Queene) Picken of Lazerbitch, Zakee Kuduro and DJ Sega. This combination of foresight and grind make him a weekly DJ on DC’s scene to watch, as in playing in a growth area like the H Street corridor and succeeding, he has been thrust into a position of importance in DC’s weekly urban nightlife.

Single Girls Rock by ohsnapmusic

Mickey Fortune and John Neilson are the Baltimore tandem known as Oh Snap!. When the group was just a solo, Mickey’s “I’m Too Fat to Be a Hipster” was an early blog classic, and propelled Fortune to, well, fortune overseas with extensive touring including popular locale for top underground North American dance acts, Australia. Now a duo, the group maintains a busy touring and production schedule with singles and remixes galore, and pushes the envelope musically, as the latest success for Oh Snap is as *gasp* a calypso act. The two bring their typical  screwball and self-effacing sense of humor to a new genre and alongside the usual high production standards, the group has put out a release with Faluma Records, the leading international distributor of the genre.

 James Nasty – Back It Up by James Nasty 

James Nasty is at present the hottest name in Baltimore Club music. Now getting regular spins for his latest hot track “Back It Up” as a part of KW Griff’s influential Friday night nix on Baltimore’s 92.3 FM, the sky is the limit for the DJ and producer. Recently affiliating himself with the retooled Bmore Original Records, Nasty’s music is equal parts sensual and visceral, and with a production style reminiscent of Rod Lee of “Dance My Pain Away” fame, his music, to use his own words, “makes girls wanna get freaky and fuck.” As the weekly headliner at the Ottobar’s Moustache Party, Nasty is the pied piper for the young, urban alternative college set of the Charm City, rocking stages as of recently with the likes of Rye Rye and Ninjasonik, headlining both parties, and as he did at 2009’s My Crew Be Unruly party, “playing a set so powerful, that you thought the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were coming, and all that we thought could save us was Baltimore club music.”

Yes, we’re aware the XX are headlining tonight at the 9:30 Club. But that show ends by 10 PM, and we wholeheartedly urge you to stop by DC9, only two blocks away for what Washingtonian Magazine and the Washington Post are calling the event of the night!

SEAL OF APPROVAL (DC)/Reflection – RED FRIDAYS with Timmy Regisford and Chris Burns – 9/17/10

Chris Burns is easily one of my favorite house music DJs anywhere in the nation. A) he reps DC, B) he’s a musical encyclopedia and C) in knowing the history and development of house music like the back of his hand, pretty much anything and everything he produces is imbued with a sense of historic worth, from his work with Gavin Holland as the Party Bros to even, yes, his recent house remix of “Bed Intruder” always get a pause and listen from me because I always know that he’s got an ear for the present, and how to link it to the past to make the future even more sonically vibrant. On he eve of his debut EP with Baltimore’s Deep Sugar imprint, Burns spins with his hero, NYC house legend Timmy Regisford. Regisford, the EBLS DJ, label executive and devoted resident DJ of the infamous Shelter is a unique performer. His style is so unique and sound so deep that even though the Shelter closed a few years back, those who attended the venue still take road trips wherever he spins. In 2009 at DC’s bandbox sized locale the Trinidad and Tobago Association Regisford spun on a night where it felt like every single remaining living person who ever enjoyed the venue was in attendance. The room got so hot that the walls and floor were literally sweating as well, one of the most underrated and magical nights of recent DC house music history. 


Needless to say, Burns wouldn’t exist without Regisford, and the fact that they’re spinning together tonight at U Street Music Hall is pretty amazing. I now turn this space over to Burns for a few words and links on his hero and mentor, the great Timmy Regisford.

Whenever I am asked how I got into house music, I never relent to mention my experiences going to Shelter in New York City, a handful of times at the 39th St. location and it final incarnation at 150 Varick Street. I was too young to be familiar with its original (and considered its best) location at Hubert Street. Its founder and resident maestro, Timmy Regisford, has a long history of being involved with both house and urban music in New York City as a producer and A+R man for many notable labels. However, it is his aggressive and risk-taking DJ style that has entranced a sizeable tribe of Shelter devotees for nearly 2 decades. Despite the drama that followed the closure of Shelter in 2008 and its subsequent renovation into Greenhouse at Varick Street, Timmy still retains an incredibly large legion of loyal devotees.

Timmy still holds reign as the king of New York City afterhours, continuing the tradition with Area Code on Sunday Mornings (6am – 2pm) at Greenhouse with his marathon sets. Although the physical layout and appearance of 150 Varick street has changed dramatically, the vibe and sound has stayed more or less intact from what I came to be familiar with through countless Sunday morning red-eye bus pilgrimages from DC. I have compiled a few pieces to demonstrate the style and impact that Mr. Regisford has had on house music.

This video was taken at 150 Varick location. Best video that I could find that demonstrates the vibe I experienced…

Part B: http://dhpmixes.com/mixes/TimmyRegisfordandBoydJarvisLiveWBLS071783deephousepageb.mp3

This is my favorite DJ mix of all time and I am constantly mentioning and sharing it. When it gets into “classic” mode at Area Code or Shelter, it often was/is stuff like this. Boyd Jarvis was Timmy’s production partner and together they created countless 80s proto-house classics: Visual’s “Somehow Someway” & “The Music’s got me”, Billie “Nobody’s Business”, Chocolette “It’s that east street beat”, Colonel Abrams “Trapped”, “I’m not gonna let”, and many other tracks that mostly came out on the Supertronics label. Boyd is playing the synths live over the mixing and his improvisations on records like Lace’s “Can’t Play Around” are truly magical.

“Gimme Shelter” by Andy Thomas

An excellent article written in 2007 and originally published in Straight No Chase zine. A great documentation of the club and its culture.

This is a good collection of many of the original productions, and most notably RnB remixes that came to define the Shelter sound in the 00s.

SEAL OF APPROVAL (DC) – WORLD CHAMPS @ WONDERLAND w/ James Nasty and Cam Jus – 9/9/10

I’m going to presume you haven’t checked out our World Champs party at the Wonderland Ballroom yet. I’ll tell you exactly what this party is not. There will be no moombahton, dubstep, witch house, luvstep, popstep, Dutch house, blog house, deep house, techno, trance or minimal here. The key here is to drink, get drunk, get freaky and yes, as Rod Lee says, “dance your pain away.” It’s Thursday night. You work hard. You don’t want to pay astronomical sums and downtown prices for booze. You want to take your friends out to party and you know that they’re not crazy about that “electro stuff” you’re crazy about. You’re also a World Champ of partying, and have to save for a big weekend ahead that you’re trying to not remember and get a headache recalling on Monday morning. So, you come uptown, and yes, for one night, drive, walk or take the Metro a few blocks up from U Street. Party, and be the World Champ we know you are. James Nasty, who is quickly becoming the BEST party rocking DJ in the region with his growing in legend tales of closing sets at Baltimore’s Moustache Party at the Ottobar joins alongside the quickest rising underground DJ in DC Cam Jus to put it down in a major league way. Cam has major league tracks for days, but here, you get to see Cam the party rocker, “going hard in the paint” as both he and Wacka Flocka would say.

Is your week incomplete without proclaiming yourself Big Meech or Larry Hoover? Do you want to meet attractive women or hot guys? Do you like club music? Are you a fan of Nicki Minaj? Are you secretly a fan of Nicki Minaj? Do you like our use of Miley Cyrus in that poster? Are you AMAZED and feel slightly dirty that you’re turned on by that picture of Miley Cyrus in that poster? This is your party.

Tonight. Wonderland. 10 PM. FREE Be the world champ we know you are. Lezgo.

SEAL OF APPROVAL (DC/BMORE) – DJ SEGA’S EAST COAST MINI TOUR – 8/26-8/28/10

Let’s all remember that point when people in club music talked about DJ Sega the same way we now talk about Murder Mark and DJ Pierre. Let’s remember when Sega was the KING of the roller skating rinks and couldn’t be touched in that realm. Well, that kid is all grown up. As of recently, Sega has displayed a less inventive for the sake of invention and more deeply creative style. Influenced by a slew of recent remixes involving popular European bass and dubstep tracks alongside the same Top 40 material familiar to the work of many northern based club DJs, Sega has finally matured as a professional. He’s become a recognized name both nationally and internationally, and recently cemented himself as a headline talent with the most talked about DJ sets of the Mad Decent Block Parties in Philadelphia and New York City, and an Australian tour last year that is still widely discussed on the continent. In both the northern and southern hemisphere Sega has set a precedent for people demanding more.

On August 26-28, the East coast gets to see what the self proclaimed Philly Club King brings to the table on this tour that intends to set a standard for what to expect from him in the future. On the 26th in Baltimore, he goes nose to nose and toe to toe with Unruly’s King Tutt, who dropped “Takeover” last year to universal nods of respect from everyone in the club music game, and with his talk of DJs with “weak ass songs,” and his proclamations of “shutting shit down,” and putting people “in his crosshairs,” this friendly contest of kicking out the jams between Philly and Bmore promises to be one of the highlights of club music’s fall.

And clearly with DC being on the rise as a top underground locale, Sega brings his tour here for TWO nights, Friday at Rock and Roll Hotel for DJ Ratt Moze’s Distract where he headlines alongside Nouveau Riche’s Gavin Holland, Moze, DJ Recio and Mr. Bonkerzz in his debut. Saturday, he plays 2122, the renamed Club 24 in NE off of New York Avenue alongside US Royalty, the Nuh Uh DJs, and SimPLEX in Bmore’s Moustache Party founder Radell Kane using a muscled up version of Moustache’s eclectic theory as a guide for his  first booking for the new venue. Sega is on the move, ready and prepared for a future with no limitations and a guide for success.

For more information, visit DJ Sega’s new blog, or check him out on Facebook and Twitter.
