I have to say a few words about the homie ILL Omen before his set tomorrow at Cadence + Tenure present 30 YEARS OF DREAD RECORDINGS @ Flash

I first heard about ILL Omen after I moved to Richmond in the late nineties. I had taken on the DJ name illogic and when I heard his name I thought, "I should battle this dude for the right to use ill in his DJ name." That thought went right out of the window the first time I heard him spin. He locked in mixes on 1200's as if they had a built-in sync button and cut between the records with an uncanny awareness of every break & sound. I went from thinking I could battle him to being a student of his sets just trying to learn whatever I could from his technique. Shortly after that, I met iLL Omen through mutual friends and he became a friend. I had the honor of booking him for some of my early events (shout out to Camp Zero & NuCo crews), DJing on the same bills with him, & tagging on a few occasions. I still to this day am in awe of his samurai sharp cuts, precise mixes, and deep crates of dubs.
do yourself a favor and come early to the show this Thursday at Flash for a master class on mixing D&B from the Don iLL Omen!

iLL Omen also hosts a blazing two hour show on BassDrive.com every Tuesday called, "The River City-Rinse-Out", from 8-10pm EST broadcasting live, globally. Utilizing a pair of Tech-1200's, Serato and a vinyl Jungle/D&B collection of nearly 2000 plates dating as far back as '94, he keeps it moving from start to finish.

Good morning all crew! Happy Friday! We hope you're taking Monday off because Goldie lands in DC this Sunday and he's going straight for the jugular.

We want to shed some more light on the historical significance of what we have in store for Sunday. Not only are we celebrating 30 years of Metalheadz (founded in 1994 by Goldie and DJ Kemistry), but we're also celebrating 30 years of DC's very own 2Tuff crew!

2Tuff was founded in 1994 by DJ Slant and Andrew Cerutti with a mission to bring drum & bass to DC. That's right, these folks are the OGs of our drum & bass scene here in the DMV. They've been spreading the jungle/dnb sound since its beginnings and are responsible for bringing countless artists to DC for the first time. You or someone you know probably fell in love with this music because of 2Tuff.

For many of us, DJ Slant was our first DnB hero and is considered a living legend (though he would never admit it). His name can be seen on hundreds, maybe even thousands of flyers spanning 30 years. His decades of contributions to our scene along with Andy and the rest of 2Tuff are invaluable and unmatched.

Recently, 2Tuff expanded their crew by adding to their roster two of our community's hardest working and most talented DJs, Joanna O and Ken Lazee. Along with DJing, Joanna O guides the DnB scene in RVA, hosts FREQUENCY on WRIR radio and runs Turnstyle Online. Ken Lazee has managed most of your favorite clubs, is currently manager at Flash, and co-hosts LAVA on Eaton Radio. These two are OGs in their own right and bring decades of experience to the table. We're thrilled they've found a home with the crew that started it all in the DMV.

For 30 years 2Tuff has been a driving force in creating and maintaining our beloved DnB scene and they do it without gatekeeping or bringing egos into the mix. DJs, promotors, clubs, local and international, all get love from 2Tuff. This "rising tides lifts all boats" mentality is something we greatly admire and appreciate at Cadence.

Don't miss out on this night featuring DnB royalty from beginning to end. Arrive early to catch the epic, two-hour, 3-way tag session featuring Slant, Ken and Joanna ahead of the king's arrival.

Vibes all night, guaranteed.

Check below for tickets, artist links and a 2Tuff mix archive featuring dozens of mixes from over the years.

Rest up and we'll see you Sunday!
