DJ Wesley Holmes’ CD release party at The Woods (upstairs at Grims) this past Friday gave Seattleites a reason to dress up and get down. The party featured the latest mixes from Holmes as well as Northwest favorites Brian Lyons, Mr. Gene Lee, Jeromy Nail, Jason Tokita and Erin O’Connor all spinning dance-inducing house music. With names like these in an electro-starved city, who can resist getting hot, sweaty, and lost in The Woods?Photos by Catherine Anstett.Published on August 1, 2011

Hot and sweaty.
Don’t let the name fool you, The Woods is more than an inner-city cabin.

Free CD’s aren’t a bad perk.
