presents DYSTOPIAN DISCO! Friday, April 5 / 9-midnight / $0 cover / Artomatic DC 2nd floor. Indulge in a fusion of dark aesthetics and pulsating electronic beats at our post-apocalyptic dance party!


Society teeters on the brink. Join the resistance. DJ Strega hatches a diverse sonic conspiracy uniting the hypnotic atmosphere of dark electronica, the thump of industrial music, and some of the more haunting tunes of the 80s, Goth, and contemporary pop. Think Mad Max, zombie apocalypse, Fallout. You help create the scene.


Don your edgiest black attire, adorn yourself with fishnets, combat boots, chains and spikes, and prepare to dance like there’s no tomorrow.


Let the music move you as you dance between the disco ball and the laser beams, surrounded by kindred spirits and immense creative energies unleashed by all the enigmatic art of Artomatic. // Friday, 5 April, 9pm-Midnight. $0 cover. Artomatic DC, 2nd floor. 2100 M Street NW, DC.
