Dc House Grooves Meet The Locals Podcast

After an unexpected glitch in the matrix last time out, DC House Grooves returned with something to prove. Episode #188 features an impromptu residents session with Andy Grant & Katrina Mir back to back with an all-wax set.

No backups, no safety nets, just raw analog signal straight from the decks. The session moved through deep, underground house, rolling techno, and those in-between cuts that only surface when you’re digging with intent. Heads-down, dialed-in energy throughout… the kind of set where the groove does the talking and the blends stretch long into the night. If you were with us live, you already felt the vibe. If you missed it, this is your chance to lock in from the beginning. Tap in, ride the frequencies, and experience the full journey as it unfolded. DC House Grooves #188… back on the air, needles down.
