Yo DC ravers — what's good?

Big-tent weekend. Above & Beyond roll into Echostage Friday for a proper Group Therapy session — the trance faithful already know the drill. But the real fun is in the spread around it. Nü Androids stack Tigres two nights deep, with Amtrac's indie-leaning house on Friday and melodic-techno craftsman Jeremy Olander closing out Saturday (No Phones Club, both nights). Berhta hands BETTE to Max Cooper for a 3D A/V build-out Friday, while Flash runs a techno clinic with Sonic Groove veterans Mike Parker and Adam X going open-to-close. Saturday belongs to the underground — Jeremy Olander headlines Nü Androids, San Francisco original Doc Martin digs into an all-vinyl set at Flash, and Transmission throws down for Cortisa Star's birthday. Sunday keeps it soft — SKALA and a wellness reset at Sunday Love, Ookay up on the Ciel rooftop. Pick your lane.

FRIDAY, JULY 10

Above & Beyond @ Echostage – trance / progressive house

Nü Androids Presents: Amtrac (DJ Set) @ Tigres De La Noche – house / progressive / indie electronic

Para + Sessions Present: Jacques Greene @ Flash (Roof) – house / UK garage / R&B – 6PM doors

Sonic Groove: Mike Parker & Adam X [Open-To-Close] @ Flash – techno / industrial / hypnotic techno

Max Cooper 3D/AV @ Berhta (BETTE)

Metamorphosis feat. Ve'ondre @ Transmission – gabber / happy hardcore / hard bounce

Hhunter @ Strand – hard techno / techno

Deep Tech Presents: Maxinne @ TBA

Black Hause DC @ Culture

Oak City Slums + Human Plushie (Capital City Soundsystem) @ El Secreto De Rosita

Velour #8 @ Vagabond – free

Gremlin tip: Tigres, Transmission, and Culture are all in the NE cluster, so Amtrac's indie-house at Tigres into Ve'ondre's gabber-and-bounce chaos at Transmission is a quick hop if you want two very different rooms in one night.

Afters: Flash is the late move — Sonic Groove runs open-to-close until 4AM for the hypnotic-techno heads, and Hhunter holds it down at Strand until 3AM.

SATURDAY, JULY 11

Major League DJz Presents: The Balcony Mix Africa @ Echostage – EVENT CANCELLED

Nü Androids Presents: Jeremy Olander @ Tigres De La Noche – progressive house / melodic techno

Nü Androids Presents Sündown: Moontalk @ Tigres De La Noche – melodic house / deep house – 4PM doors

Matinée Presents: Brux @ Flash (Roof) – house / techno / club – 4PM doors

Doc Martin [Vinyl Set] @ Flash – house / acid house / techno

Junkie Kid @ Berhta (BETTE)

Chimstar Presents: Cortisa Star Birthday Rave @ Transmission – club / bass

District of DnB Vol. 3 @ Pop-Up District (Falls Church, VA) – drum & bass

Cowboys in the House @ Showtime Lounge – free

Legal Aliens @ Vagabond – free

Gremlin tip: Tigres runs a doubleheader — catch Moontalk's melodic-house Sündown set in the afternoon (4–9PM), reset, then come back for Jeremy Olander at night. Same room, No Phones Club both times.

Afters: Doc Martin's vinyl set at Flash goes until 4AM — the deepest, longest-running move of the night for anyone who wants to ride it out on wax.

SUNDAY, JULY 12

Sunday Love x DC Burners: SKALA @ Flash – melodic techno / electronica – 2:45PM doors

Azure Day Party DC: Ookay @ Ciel Rooftop – house – 2PM doors

Gremlin tip: Sunday Love's wellness session runs 3–4PM and closes promptly at the start — doors reopen at 4PM for ticket holders, so don't roll up late if you want the full reset before SKALA.

That's the weekend. Reply and tell me what you're locking in — Above & Beyond diehard, Jeremy Olander journey, or straight to the warehouse for Doc Martin? I read every single one. For scene takes between issues, I'm at @plurtatochip.

See you on the floor.

Pundits predicted. Polls projected. Most of them missed. Prediction markets didn't.

Kalshi is where people put real money behind their political read — which means the prices you see on who wins the 2028 nomination aren't opinions. They're commitments. Right now, tens of millions of dollars are already trading on who gets the Republican and Democratic nominations.

That's a different signal than any poll you'll read this week.
