Loda is about redefining definitions of who, where and what we are by creating an uplifting environment for lovers of electronic music and artistic environments. We strive to bring artists that have never played in DC in an effort to showcase our community, broaden our musical palette and understanding of the larger EDM landscape. The depth and breadth of quality electronic music right now is nothing short of incredible. Coupled with the explosion of digital arts and the rise of the creative class, there’s no other time we’d rather be alive and doing what we do. We hope you’ll join us this week, this month as we continue to push things forward bringing new people and experiences to our community.

“Bear Who? That man behind international hit “Fix My Sink” which hit the
UK billboard & BBC radio charts for 13 straight weeks, brings his next hit
to Chicago based Dust Traxx label, which in the course of 10 years has
managed to release some of the biggest names in House music today. The
“Beatbox Album” is a “futuristic” digital get-down mixed with sexy ladies,
sweaty dancefloors and steamy hot beats. It’s seduction without romance,
penetration without pretense, this is the future sound of hip hop with a
House edge, let’s face it sex sells and that is exactly what you’ll get
here. Mind crushing pop music from the future”.

JAVAIGHT BIO:

David Javate aka dj Javaight aka JV8 is a San Francisco based dj, event promoter and writer. As a veteran DJ from Washington DC and lifelong dance music aficionado, David’s love has always been towards the deeper side of house and techno. As is evident in his contributions to SF nightlife with the deep house night,Staple, the ground breaking techno event, Optimal, and the techno happy hour, Killswitch, David continues to showcase deeper styles with a DJ style which acknowledges house and techno’s pioneers while also welcoming today’s innovators. Showing the diversity of being able to play during different moods of the night, David always strives to take the listener on a journey, and make an audio collage which moves the mind and body. As a founding member of Washington DC’s Dirty Crew in the mid-90s, David quickly became a regular on the East Coast rave circuit. On top of coordinating his own series of Dirty and Filtered parties, he also played for promoters such as Buzzlife, Ultraworld, Sonic Soul, 2 Tuff, Catastrophic and The Circle, in addition to playing for Spundae in California, Pleasure Force in Canada and other promoters in Florida and Colorado. Feeling creatively limited in Washington DC, David moved to San Francisco in 1998. In San Francisco, he started the Optimal Group to explore the gray area between house and techno. He coordinated a successful string of parties called optimal, featuring Derrick May, Stacey Pullen, Ken Ishii, Mike Dearborn, John Tejada, DJ Pierre, Kenny Larkin, Gemini, and EBE. After optimal David reunited with Dirty Crew DJ Fil Latorre to coordinate a number of events under the Staple moniker. The duo have thrown a number of events at the Endup, Rx Gallery, Anu, the Transfer and Wish. Focusing on what the pair call “Future house and Deep Techno”, Staple has featured dj’s such as Kenny Larkin, Mike Huckaby, John Tejada, JT Donaldson, Jeno, Glenn Underground, Lance Desardi, Theo Parrish, the Rurals, Mark E. Quark, Markie, and Alton Miller. Currently, David has been focusing on Killswitch, a weekly event dedicated to exposing Bay Area techno and house talent. Killswitch has featured talented artists such Alland Byallo, Dave Aju, Monocle, Safety Scissors, Solar, Joshua Iz, Limacon, Kit Clayton and Sutekh. David continues to DJ regularly, coordinate events, and support San Francisco nightlife.
