In DC, it’s a summertime catch-22: congressional recess means some hill rats have left town, but the ones that are left are more apt to be out and about. Do your best and get your culture on this weekend.

The Plan
- Friday: In the evening, there’s GIF art at the Artisphere and a talk show at Wonderland. Late night, the appropriately-titled MEGA brings the bass to Ibiza.
- Saturday: From 1-6PM, party for a good cause at the Dunes, as over a dozen female DJs spin for Girls Rock DC. Keep dancing at U Hall for the return of Classixx.
- Sunday: Local rockers Mercies and Teen Mom play the Black Cat, followed by Tropixxx at the Velvet Lounge.
The Soundtrack
Austin’s Dubbel Dutch is doing big things in the future bass scene with his juked out rave tracks. But what happens when you combine Jersey club R&B edits with a Texas heat wave? You get Dubbel Dutch’s Swishahouse-inspired Slow Club Mix. Please let this mix be the birth of a new genre.
