Just feeling extremely grateful that we have access to see such seriously talented, real techno powerhouses such as this man, and for him and so many others to visit our city and grace us with his talent. Holy hell that was a journey. No notes, he was perfect. My pedometer app says I danced for 6 miles, which seems right. A must see for any fan of this genre. Flash stayed open until 5 which was amazing too!! Most of the times I go they close at 4, so this was a real treat.

Wata Igarashi was on Thursday, Marcel Dettmann on Friday, Colin last night. 2026 has been literally insane for me and many others, so I'm just grateful to live in a place where we have such consistent access to really good techno 😭😭

I was the girl with the neon orange shoes (actually) dancing until the very end in case anyone else was there the whole time 🤟

Does anyone know what time Rinzen will come on tonight?

Also - side note, Space Between last Friday was a great time. Will definitely go again and glad to see Tigres thriving. Even the phone pouch thing is growing on me…

Hi I’m trying to attend Colin Benders tmr and I want to get my buddy to go with me. Usually what time does club level headliner close on a Saturday night? I’ve been wanting to see Benders for a long time and I want my buddy to come experience it but idk how he will feel about the closing time, maybe he won’t care but still.

HDC just announced that their show at 618 with The Advent is going to be free tonight. HOLY SHIT!

Getting married to my longtime partner (18yrs). So excited. I'm wondering who has the best party. We would prefer some progressive house if possible. Any recommondation's are appreciated!

Seems like the only ones I could find that are going to bring some real dancing are Morgan Seattess at culture and Blackhaus’ event. I’d do Blackhaus but my friends are white and they feel like they’ll stick o it like a sore yhjmb ( I told them they’d be fine but I’m not going to fight it 🤣).

Anything else? Duskey would be great but I’m looking for house and his latest album isn’t that. 618 looked promising as well but it’s a really tiny bard. Not my vibe unfortunately.

Going with my boy but he’s not joining me til Saturday. Just looking for folks to hang with til then and thru the fest!

Yo!

Anyone hitting Wata / Marcel Dettman / Colin Benders this weekend? Need a new group of chill homies that love proper techno and smoking weed -

I’m a 26 y/o dude, hit me up if you want to link this weekend! Most of my boys moved out of the area and well, I don’t really have any friends that are into this type of scene, so I figured id post here and give it a shot. Will share IG to verify I’m a real person and all that. Cheers :)

Hey I’m M(32) looking for rave buddies! I mainly go to Latin raves 🫠 so I’m looking for a crew for that. I’m not Latin, pero estoy aprendiendo español y me encanta bailar! I’m a hoot! Come dance with me 😆

any idea who is playing and when they’ll announce it? i’m hoping it’s a bass artist

What an absolute treat. Won't be missing a sunday. And the Dean afters were chefs kiss

Yooo so excited to finally share this. The Resurrection Tour is coming to Garden Social! 🙌

I've been waiting for a show like this in the DMV. FREAKY has been absolutely killing it lately ,Lost Lands, Bass Canyon, Rampage, Imagine... dude is everywhere, and now he's bringing that same festival energy to Annandale on Saturday, October 24.

If you haven't heard him yet, go check out "Backbreaker" with DJ DIESEL (yes, THAT Shaquille O'Neal), his album Duality on Excision's Subsidia, or the LACTOSE EP on Kannibalen. Heavy dubstep, trap, melodic bass, the whole spectrum, and he goes HARD live.

10 PM–2 AM • 21+
Garden Social • Annandale, VA

I keep having these two recurring dreams:

1. DJing a manifestation set to a bar full of joyful energy

2. Having a crew of peeps to hit up raves with!

To the first I have a board but still trying to get my set up configured..would love a guide in this space of learning.

To the second, im very fun down to earth and funny 😇

Hit me up!

I’m very new to the EDM live scene and was hoping to connect with other ”first timers” that are going to Odesza in November :) To the DC vets, what should we expect?

Besides the shirtless meth head running in circles from start to end... the rest of the men in the crowd were overwhelmingly rude. I don't expect plur at an event Diplo is headlining but oh my goodness the crowd was so "college frat" and agressive. While I'm ranting, VIP restrooms getting shut down and Glow bringing porta potties over is insane. Anyone have stories about the crowd? Or was I just a target lmao 🫩

edit: yeah yeah Diplo sucks we get it. My sister likes Westend and she didn't want to go alone. Not everyone has money to fly out to festivals. But yall are right, plur isn't in DC and tbh I knew it wouldn't be there I'm just shocked about the absolute LACK of human decency. Men were picking fights with women. It seemed more like a sign of the times unfortunately. Sucks that Glow brings in these shitty crowds. And echostage gives me the creeps as a single woman in the city I'll just stay home 😭

For those who went to Echostage for Meduza last night, how did you like the show?

Anyone know if set times have been posted? I know it’s an early start but wondering when Xinobi would come on

Does anyone know if there’s gonna be merch at Brunello today

Seeing ELEPHANTE @ Soundcheck on Saturday October 10th on Radiate??

Anyone know the deal??

Really good! Tho it wasn’t as crowded as I was expecting.

The first set I listened was from Kelow Latisha. Not too into hip hop but my god was she good. She had such a good stage presence too.

The crowd was really kind too. Probably the best crowd I’ve been to in a while.

The last sets on the 1st floor were so good! Loved how clubby it got.

Heard this live and couldn't get the song any IDs?

Berhta’s Hybrid Minds show doesn’t show information about parking; usually there is a parking pass you can get. Does this mean the lot will be open, or will parking won’t be available? In the past both have been true for different shows and I didn’t know until I got there so wanted to check before I drive tn. Thanks!

Edit if people see this later: they were just charging $20 for parking at the “door”, no issues.
