Legendary UK gathering, Secretsundaze is strictly for the freaks. Since 2002, partystarters Giles Smith and James Priestley have followed the heart and not the hype, marking secretsundaze as a brand with sincerity and staying power in the global scene. The infamous Sunday daytime party has firmly established itself as one of Europe’s most distinct voices in underground electronic music, and has since become a critically-acclaimed label, featuring the likes of Brawther, Amir Alexander, DJ Qu and Youandewan. One thing is for sure: Giles Smith and James Priestly will land in Washington, DC armed to the gills with secretweaponz. DC House Grooves founder Andy Grant plays first, and Bodyfeel's Dansman and Throe close their two-year FlashBar residency with guest Taiga. Funk and soul ring out in the Green Room with your selectors Trev-ski, Chris Burns and Graham Hatke at the helm.

GILES SMITH:
On a personal level, Smith has played everywhere you’d expect of a modern great – from Panorama Bar to Robert Johnson, Fabric to Plastic People, Trouw to Cielo, The Rex to Club 11 as well as at many of the parties which most influenced him in the early days including Back to Basics and Faith. “At the beginning it was the sounds of Blaze, Larry Heard, Ron and Chez who were – and remain - some of my biggest influences alongside UK mid 90s house labels such as Junior Boys Own and Paper but I’m also drawn to the more modern European sounds from Germany, Holland and of course will always pay close attention to Detroit and Chicago which still to this day provide me with some of the most authentic and inspiring music."
With house and techno running through his veins, it’s no surprise Smith was eventually lured into the studio to craft his own sounds. The results nearly always in collaboration with the late great Martin Dawson as Two Armadillos, have been some of the most immediately timeless house music of recent years, deep but with feeling, purposeful yet poised. “My aims with music are really just to make something that will not age” muses Giles. “So much dance music sounds contrived following a fad or fashion and this is something that I avoid at all cost. I also have a strong belief in keeping the human touch, not overproducing music and keeping a live, more natural and raw sound.”
JAMES PRIESTLEY:
James has a distinct DJing style, playing broadly what you would describe as deep House & Techno, often borrowing from his freestyle background, preferring to move things around rather than follow one linear groove. You will also notice James' solid musical background in his sets and productions usually favouring strong melodies and warm, organic sounds. His style hasn't gone unnoticed and he regularly plays some of the best clubs and parties around the world, highlights including Cocoon (London), Circo Loco (London), We Love Sundays (Space, Ibiza), Nitsa & City Hall (Barcelona), Showcase (Paris), and in UK Fabric, The End, Bugged Out!, Electric Chair, Basics, Asylum, Boutique, Superfreq, Faith, and Global Gathering.
