Buzz (DC)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buzz is a long running dance party in Washington, DC. It was started by Scott Henry and Lieven DeGeyndt at the East Side Club and then later at the now demolished Nation (nightclub). At it's peak it was one of the largest dance parties on the East Coast and voted "Best Party" four years in a row by Urb magazine. It was shut down temporarily in 1999 after Fox 5 WTTG broadcast murky hidden camera footage claiming drug use and strange rituals at the party. After reopening, Buzz was unable to maintain it's popularity, in part due to the RAVE act and Department of Defense rules restricting military personnel from attending Buzz and Velvet Nation, the gay party held at Nation on Saturday nights.

The party was recently resurrected at FUR nightclub in DC. Buzz has attracted many of the world's top DJs to Washington, DC. ^[1]
