“They played a great DJ set, we will definitely have them back at The Huxley soon,” owners Eric Lund and Ryan Seelbach who spent most of the evening with Jenner said.
They are referring to Brody Jenner, son of the 1976 Summer Olympics decathlon champion Bruce Jenner who is mainly known for being a TV personality on the hit MTV show THE HILLS and more recently Keeping up with the Kardashians. What many people don’t know is that he is also a musician and DJ.
Brody Jenner and William Lifestyle
Jenner and friend William Lifestyle were guest DJs at Washington DC’s premier nightlife destination – The Huxley. Jenner arrived at the sold out venue at midnight and DJ’d from 12:30am – 3am. Prior to hitting the DJ booth he spotted the Huxley’s resident Bongo player Robert Powell and surprising guests, began an impromptu bongo session!
The crowd loved it – another unknown fact is that Jenner grew up playing the drums.

Jenner has been appearing at venues across the country with Lifestyle who is a Los Angeles-based DJ that has quickly risen to become one the city’s top choice performers. Currently holding residencies at Hollywood hotpots, Bootsy Bellows and Hooray Henry’s, the young DJ has mastered the art of nightlife and celebrity entertainment.
The Huxley has also attracted stars such as 4-time NBA MVP Lebron James, 18-time Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps, Grammy Award-winning musician Lil Jon, UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez, and Washington Nationals All-Star Pitcher Gio Gonzalez.
According to the venue’s bio, The Huxley – Greater Washington’s premier nightlife destination – offers a refreshing option that features the latest innovations from Las Vegas and New York City. The 4,600 square foot space, in the heart of Dupont, boasts two luxurious rooms: The Ballroom and The Library. An expert management team allows for a greater focus on customer service and is a fitting compliment to the high-end décor of the venue.
The Ballroom and The Library are perfect for private events for 30 – 300 people providing a variety of services to all event clients. Since opening in November 2012, The Huxley has already hosted private events for HBO, GQ Magazine, Google, Goldman Sachs, Mckinsey & Company, Bain & Co., Comcast/NBCUniversal, Clear Channel, Young President’s Organization (YPO), Harvard Business School and the German National Soccer Team.
This past March, Nightclub & Bar Magazine awarded The Huxley “2014 Best New Concept in the US.
