The past two years have brought Blake Jarrell a plethora of serious achievements. From his ongoing summer residency at the legendary Amnesia Club in Ibiza, to a 40 country world tour to complement his successful 2-disc DJ mixed compilation for the Armada Dancefloor Sessions series. Blake Jarrell is one of the fastest rising stars in the dance music industry today. And lucky for us, he was recently featured on the decks of Glow at Ultra Bar.
If you live in DC, you probably have a pretty good idea who Thievery Corporation is. If you go out in DC, there is a good chance you've paid a visit to any number of clubs (18th St. Lounge, Local 16, Marvin, etc.) connected to the duo. That's because this widely popular band/DJ group was founded by Rob Garza and Eric Hilton right here in our great city at the lounge that shares the name of their record label ESL Recordings. And like most bands on tour, Thievery spends an extra few days of their tour in their hometown performing for their most beloved fans. I was lucky enough to spend two nights shooting photos of these amazing artists.
Lima Lounge has always been one of the more well designed clubs in DC. But recently Lima added a new night to their agenda that made this District lounge one of the better stops on the nocturnal rotation. For the Love of Haus opens the doors of Lima to some of the areas best house music DJs. The inaugural party featured Jason Greene, Jimi Wes and Manifesto on the decks. I was there to capture the sights as these three DJs dropped some seriously amazing deep house.
