Mob Night contains one of the oddest and coolest mixtures of visual and audio with the brainchild of DJ 2 Tone Jones and Gerald Watson with the Shaolin Jazz : the 37th Chamber project. This collection started in early 2011 and infuses the sounds of the Wu Tang Clan, with the crisp yesteryear Blue note recordings of Miles Davis, Super Cat, and Herbie Hancock. A.C.M.E. (A Company that Makes Everything) has one of the most experimental sounds makes them a hard comparison but of the most interesting sounds by far. And as per usual, one of DC’s Indie favorite sons who has been doing his own thing since day one, Tabi Bonney will bring it on home. Also DJ Phil Riehl will………(Oh, yea no explanation needed).

“A Tune-Up” is is (remove one) described in the Urban Dictionary as slang for a beatdown. Submerge applies this verb to your brain via music and art, and Saturday is no exception. Saturday incorporates, Culinary, Fashion, Art, and Music into a memorable evening experience. Submerge partners with Art All Night DC to present Nuit Blanche! Nuit Blanche is an annual all-night or night-time arts festival. A Nuit Blanche will typically have museums, private and public art galleries, and other cultural institutions open and free of charge, with the centre of the city itself being turned into a de facto art gallery, providing space for art installations, performances (music, film, dance, performance art), themed social gatherings, and other activities. http://www.artallnightdc.com/ . The fashion component… though fashion is always passively described as Art, sometimes fashion is just simply clothes, the stuff you wear. Only the likes of an Alexander McQueen push the limits to where one has a hard time describing what they are looking at, with a blurring of the line between fashion and art. . Quincy Jones x DYDC bring this concept to life creating “fashion art installations” that make the runway irrelevant. Fusing this with the sultry upbeat sounds of Alison Carney, and globetrotting District MC Oddisee, percussion and base from duo Jim From the Moon and a beat Set from August Flight Gordon, Q and DYDC create this merger of art, performance and fashion in something best described as a fashion happening. Also sprinkled in the evening will be another set by comedian Desi Alexander. Proceeds from libations and art sales go to benefit Dreams For Kids.http://dreamsforkids.org/
