New Years Eve DC 2011

New Year’s Eve in Washington DC is going to be incredible at the MASSIVE Big Night DC extravaganza, held at the gigantic Gaylord National Resort on the National Harbor!  There are 15 themed party areas, five dance floors, open bar all night, big bands, big DJs, thousands of people, and of course, DJ Maskell!  This is the biggest New Years Eve event in Washington DC by a very wide margin.

Maskell will be headlining in the Electronic DJ room from 9pm – 2am, which means you get to experience the fire at the peak of the night in ways you’ve never seen before!  The set will feature the most bangin’ hits in Dance, Electro, Top 40, and House, guaranteed to rip the roof off when the clock strikes midnight and the crowd goes nuts.  Check out how insane it was last year at midnight, video below!

DJ Maskell to open for Pauly D at Shamrockfest 2011!

For the Fifth year in a row, DJ Maskell has been asked to headline once again at the largest yearly music festival in Washington DC, Shamrockfest!  It is quite a high honor to be asked to return year-after-year to such a prestigious event, and very few have had the privilege of doing so even once, let alone on a recurring basis.

This year, Maskell will be opening for none other than DJ Pauly D on the VIP DJ stage from 6-7!  The Jersey Shore legend will be back in the Nation’s Capital, ready to rock out harder than ever before!  (NOTE: Pauly plays once on the Miller Lite stage in the late afternoon, and again on the VIP DJ stage at 7)

This massive music festival draws an average of 40,000+ DC area concertgoers to see amazing performers performing on a dozen stages spanning across the RFK Stadium Festival Fairgrounds.   With dozens of attractions, entertainment areas, games, rides, food vendors, and of course a never-ending supply of BEER, this Saint Patrick’s day celebration is like none other in the region.  The Festival Fairgrounds are filled with happy St. Patties Day revelers and partygoers in a sea of green that’s not to be mistaken for the nearby Anacostia River.

Maskell will be throwing down a signature set of house, dance, electro, and live mashups that is sure to tear up the crowd like no other DJ can.  As Maskell says, “I’m not satisfied with my performance until I hear people spontaneously shouting ‘wooo!’.  That’s when you know you’ve got something good.”

Historically, Maskell has electrified the crowd at Shamrockfest with pounding bass, ripping beats, compelling melodies, and driving rhythms that force people to dance whether they like it or not.   Renowned local heavy metal music enthusiast and shock jock Michael Swinburne was in attendance at Shamrockfest 2009, and candidly remarked “God I hate this techno shit, but I just can’t help but dance to it when Maskell’s playing.  He’s really damn good.”

There’s no question about Maskell’s talent.  From his roots working the nightlife scene in DC as a flyerboy to starting his own nightclub and gaining residencies at radio stations, music festivals, nightclubs, and major events, Maskell has made an impressive career for himself.  He’s even headlined at one of the most famed weekly electronic events in the world, GLOW, which brings the biggest names in electronic dance music to the heart of Washington DC.  Glow is an event that is of the same caliber as Gatecrasher and Ministry of Sound, which have been the key pillars in establishing and maintaining the electronic music scene around the world.

So get ready for an insane performance this year at Shamrockfest, because rain or shine, its going to be out-of-this-world!

NOTE! Shamrockfest 2010 will go on rain or shine, so dress appropriately! Shamrockfest rain has happened in the past and has not slowed people down at all.  Its still just as packed and crazy!  So bring an umbrella just-in-case it rains at Shamrockfest this year because the show WILL GO ON!

Ultrabar/Glow resident DJ Maskell throws down a hybrid set of Pop Dance and Pop EDM that’s guaranteed to light up any DC Nightclub dancefloor!

Its the type of mix that hooks normal people into the electronic music world by blending the familiar Top 40 Dance tracks they know with the very best EDM hits that they might not know yet, but will definitely enjoy.  Its a combination of Pop Nightlife DC and Club Glow, all in a single two hour badass mix.  Enjoy.
