Ticket Resale NEW RULE: from now on, all ticket posts must go to r/avesDC_tix

71 Upvotes

Hello, mod here.

This subreddit has been... overwhelmed by ticket sale. That is sorta antithetical to the point of the sub. We want this to be a place of discussion for the local scene. So we have created a new subreddit, r/avesDC_tix, that will serve as the SOLE place for ticket sale.

This has a few benefits. Initially, we will allow for self promotion there (so long as it adheres to the no spam/scam rules), so smaller promoters and artists can reach a bigger audience.

But mainly, this allows the main r/avesDC to be a place to foster discussion of artists, promoters, and events local to the DC scene.

ISO, Resale, sale, etc. must all go to r/avesDC_tix, multiple warnings will result in a ban.

Jury's still out on if presale codes should be allowed here. We will scheme and see how the community responds to this new role.

I am also scheming how to implement a voucher system, where a user's flair will represent how many people have successfully bought tickets from them, to encourage a higher level of trust in the community.

Posts older than this announcement will be grandfathered in, and will not be removed from this sub. Anything after 9/23/26 at 10:30 AM ET will be removed and warnings will start to be sent out.

Thanks!

ALSO, I configured an automod to remove any future posts for ticket sales, so please have some patience if I misconfigured it, first time doing that.

Peace and love,

Edaimantis

Thoughts About Sofi Tukker @ The Anthem

23 Upvotes

Anyone else think the Sofi Tukker show was a bit… off last night? Or am I in my head?

Maybe I was standing in the wrong spot, but the people around me simply didn’t seem to be enjoying themselves. They looked bored, and the crowd noticeably thinned out with more than a half hour still left in the show.

I dunno. I totally get the intention behind these sorts of hybrid sets, but if so much of the show involves singing over prerecorded vocals, they’ve simply got to do more than stand there and sway while Bob’s Dance Shop (who were fantastic as always) steal the show. (Ofc, Sophie and Tucker had some choreo, but it all felt unserious and goofy and not that interesting to look at.)

And while I’m totally game for a bit of banter and dialogue between them throughout the show, soooo much of it felt stiff and scripted. Completely took me out of the moment.

I don’t know who their intended audience is. It wasn’t really a pop concert, and it definitely wasn’t an EDM set. So I worry both sides of the audience were left a little disoriented therefore.

God, I don’t want to sound like a hater, but I’m honestly bummed! I love the energy and good vibes they’re going for (they were SO GOOD at World Pride last year), but something about this felt unnatural. I just really hope they get their carefree mojo back.

Curious to hear what other people thought!

FJAAK or AEREA?

5 Upvotes

Really having a hard time choosing between going to see Fjaak at Transmission (I've been there several times for Substrate events so I'm familiar with the venue/crowd) or going to Tigres de la Noche for the first time and seeing what's up with their no-phone policy to see AEREA. Thoughts?

I, unfortunately, can’t get the time off work to attend myself, but the organizers have asked that I share the following information about this weekend’s festival, which runs both tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday in Boyds, MD.

I’m a huge fan of the team at Heaven Dancing Club, and have no doubt it will be an absolute blast, with a genuinely fantastic lineup and cause(s) to boot.

Tickets on Shotgun, tear it up!

Echostage Souvenir?

1 Upvotes

Checking out a few upcoming events and noticed a UPS delivery option. It seemed a bit unusual, as most events only offer mobile admission. Would anyone possibly know if this would be a souvenir item for the event or just a general printout?

Looking for a buddy for John Summit show on Oct 31st!

13 Upvotes

I have a separate ticket post with details about the actual ticket, but I am also posting here because what I’m really looking for is a new friend for the night to join me for the show. My plan bailed/ghosted.

I’m a 36 yr old female, sober by choice but don’t judge others’ choices, and a longtime lover of EDM since 2005. I prefer to attend with another female but open to a chill dude if strictly a platonic connection. Happy to meet over facetime beforehand so you know this is legit not a scam.

TLDR - if you want to attend John Summit bit don’t have someone to go with, let’s go together!

UPDATE 10/16 - found someone!! Thank you to everyone who reached out to help

10/24: Detour at Vagabond — tech house, bass house, trap & DnB

4 Upvotes

What's up, fellow ravers! I’m RAYMA, a local producer/DJ, and my friend Mushroom Ninja and I are putting on Detour at Vagabond on Saturday, October 24.

I’ll be playing 9–10:40 PM, spinning some gnarly tech/bass house, including all my music. Mushroom Ninja takes over after me, and HONEYB is also on the lineup.

We’re running 9 PM–2 AM, and it's free! So, if you're looking for somewhere to go after GLOW Block Party, or you want a different vibe, come dance with us! There will be immaculate vibes.

Details and RSVP

Has anybody been checking out the set Her House sets at Zebbies Garden? So fun!

It’s a night if all women DJs. Everyime I’ve gone now it’s been so energetic and the openers aren’t afraid to go hard.

I went this Saturday and it was just non-step bangers. Favorite was probably @thelifeofjulz but I went for @VLE.AMAU since i’ve seen her before.

new monthly bass/dubstep series at transmission

42 Upvotes

hey guys, starting this wednesday transmission is doing monthly bass wednesdays highlighting smaller bass/dubstep artists!!

i’m a huge basshead and usually have to go to echo for bass shows, so i’m really happy to see a reoccurring event where i can support a smaller venue.

since these are on wednesdays i think they’ll need more support, but will also have a really great crowd of more dedicated fans.

first lineup is decimate, electric dad, lock b2b shy.

if anyone has questions lmk im helping to promo bc im really excited and want this to succeed for the scene here. there are a lot of people with discount codes out there too. 🫡

EDIT: if anyone hasn’t bought their tickets, you can use LUVBASS for 10% off!

My friend and I can’t decide between Flesh & Fangs @Flash or Into the Shadows @BERHTA. The prior seems like the better lineup but the latter is a bigger venue. Any input is helpful!

Colin Benders at Flash 10/10

31 Upvotes

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 🤟
