Come out to the Blue Room Thursday night to experience one of DC's longest running house nights and for good reason - Double o7 and yours truly will be banging the box hard this week along with opening guest DJ - Jim Damato!

Growing up just outside of Boston, Jim has been involved in music since the young age of 10 and has always loved music with a beat. By the time he was finished with high school, he'd held lead positions in the school's Jazz, Concert and Marching bands. He started spinning records in 2000 while living in San Francisco, where he was influenced by the likes of DJ Dan, Donald Glaude and Miguel Migs.*He relied heavily on his musical background and soon had regular appearances at Pow!, Buzz 9 and Morpho, rocking*crowds with his funky blend of West Coast house music.

Since moving east, Jim took his skills to the next level. Taking influences from DJ Swamp, Qbert, DJ Craze and Mike Hoska,*he has*infused his sets with elements of scratching and turntablism. Now living in Washington DC, he*has made appearances at the Blue Room. In August 2004, he will make his first international DJ appearance at the 8th annual Sun Jam (www.sunjamutila.com), Central America's largest dance music festival.*

Jim's CD release of "I Like It Funky", a locally*available, continuous mix of West Coast influenced house music, has gotten rave reviews. MP3's of each track on "I Like It Funky" can be downloaded at www.jimdamato.com

Come check out the intimate setting and fantastic vibe as you re-acquaint yourself to DC nightlife at its finest! Join us from 9pm to 2am and bring your friends to one of the most established Thursday night gatherings in the District!
