The Winter Balearic Games at Showtime (+Fundraiser)

The Winter Balearic Games land at local watering hole and vinyl DJ dive Showtime Lounge, just one night before the Winter Olympics begin in Milan, for an evening of disco, italo, electro, house, funk, new wave, and whatever else feels right. Mighty, charming and jovial oddball selections open-to-close for dancing, lounging and mingling.

Featuring Bertie, a DC-based Episcopal priest and cosmic selector delivering a heady mixture of italo, house and disco. Formerly a member of renowned “daytime disco” act Poolside, he has since released music on Death on Wax with Episco-Disco fellow traveler J.A.Z, which has reached dancefloors around the world via the superstar DJ Harvey. Most recently, he co-produced the sultry balearic bomb “Nema Veze” with cosmic/leftfield stalwart Masha Mar, on the same label.

Also joining is DC’s Laura Lopez, a resident at several of DC’s hi-fi listening lounges who also manages the thoroughly balearic DJ program at the cozy cocktails & pizza purveyor No Kisses Bar in Park View. Expect deep and punchy cuts of disco, italo, city pop, new wave and electro. 1st Thursday resident Sean C. on support

Sean and his girlfriend, Elizabeth, are also teaming up with Heather from the Tartan Network to raise mutual aid funds for a displaced family in Gaza. Used vinyl records from various local DJs' collections will be available for purchase with 100% of funds donated to the cause. Please consider donating directly as well.
