DJ Archieologic @ the Arctic

Friday, August 15, 20259:00 pmSaturday, August 16, 20251:00 am
the sultry intimate dance floor of the Arctic Bar (by/on the water)

Hot, sweaty, bouncy dance music that sometimes goes off beat, but only for just long enough for you to use the bathroom or buy a drink or pause to scope the terrain --maybe check someone or something out. Whatever the vibe, it's another opportunity to tap into your primal ancient spirit and to dance like your ancestors would --no matter the region of your roots.
