11/23/11

It’s been a long semester, but for the night before thanksgiving, it’s time to get down one last time before Turkey Day. Stuffing tastes better hungover, we promise.

A the $2 Natty Bohs ALL NIGHT LONG will definitely help.

HOUSE U. is a hump day treat with DJs TMY + Keenan Orr at The Velvet Lounge.

We like to break up our week up with a break from the monotony: you’ll hear some house music, moombahton, baltimore club, disco, and even some throw backs.. but save the lady gaga requests for the weekend.

10 PM. No cover.

915 U St NW
(between N 9 1/2 St & N Vermont Ave)
Washington, DC 20001
Neighborhood: U Street Corridor

About

Entranced by DC's underground rave culture, Vienna, Va. native DJ Keenan (aka Keenan Orr) burst onto the area's house music scene in the mid-nineties. In 2003, Orr began working at Metatacks Studios, the only studio in DC dedicated to Electronic Dance Music. Here, Orr became involved with XM Satellite Radio, where he and fellow DJ Dimitri Max hosted a show called "Launch Pad." On air for two hours every Sunday night, Launch Pad was broadcasted to over four million listeners across the U.S. and Canada.
Armed with the ability to read a crowd and plan accordingly, Orr is currently focusing on using music to bridge the gap between the splintered scene of DC. Bouncing from Chicago House, Baltimore Club, Electro, Disco and classics of the 80's and 90's, Orr has landed residencies at a number of clubs around the city, including Cobalt, Marvin, and Rock and Roll Hotel.
In 2010, DJ Keenan was named the DC DJ of the year by Washington City Paper, an honor which he hopes to retain in 2011. Known for clean mixing and a good ear for music, Orr makes a lasting impression on all that have the privilege to experience his set. With a constantly growing fan base behind him, DJ Keenan's arrival to the international DJ scene seems imminent.
