DESTINATION: Chicago

For this night it is our goal to take your mind, body and soul to the birthplace of house music! And who better to guide you on this journey than Bad Boy Bill! Famous for his lighting-fast mixing, amazing turntablism style (most notably his ability to remix a record live with two copies), and the energy he inspires onto a crowd, it’s no wonder that he was recently voted America’s #1 dj in BPM Magazine. Bill is also bringing along fellow Chicago resident Steve Smooth, who’s been on tour with Bill and has several releases out on IHR.

Smalls is one of the area’s most distinguished DJs. Having honed his skills through playing out all over the country with nearly 10 years of experience behind the decks, we’re proud to have this amazing talent representing DC.

Lexus King is another one of this city’s greats, and we can’t wait to hear the set he’ll be dropping for us in the main room.

Cruz has been hard at work pushing EDM down in VA, with a healthy supply of gigs and Destiny, her crew’s weekly Richmond event. Soulkiss has been giving audiences his own special funky brand of house and breaks for over 5 years now, and will represent DC Skillz proper tonight.

d’n’b:

Infra Red. Over the past 10 years J Majik has carved his own niche in the dnb world, pioneering his own progressive disco-influenced madness alongside labelmates Accidental Heroes. From the massive vocal hit 'Love is Not a Game' featuring Kathy Brown, to the ridiculous 'New Generation' currently being caned by top DJs all over the world - be sure not to miss this rare opportunity as he throws down at the DC Tunnel for the Destination Massive.

Also on the nite is Baltimore's own Lonnie Fisher of the infamous Ultraworld legacy. Currently owning and operating the highly acclaimed Sonar Lounge in Baltimore, Lonnie has been a strong supporter of drum'n'bass in the DC area - bringing through massive lineups year after year to the various parties.....Sunrise Festival, Starscape, the historical Armory parties - the list goes on!! And you know the man can throw down a scorchin set with all that experience.

Hailing from Philadelphia, Advance has been tearing up dancefloors all over the US; with his hard and funky neurofunk style, don't miss the Advance as he turns out the Destination DnB chamber.

Rounding out the night we have two of the hottest names in DC Drum'n'Bass. Representing his own Modified label and the recently launched dcdnb.org, Harry Ransom will not disappoint behind the decks.

Alongside Ransom we have the Bobby Jae, another one of DCs favorite dnb DJs. An impeccable DJ with tastes ranging from funk to tuff intelligent beats, we are proud to have Bobby Jae represent for us tonite at Destination!
