Look, 2017 was a shit year. All we can do is work on harnessing our own mental energy into positive vibes for 2018. Luckily, there’s an opportunity to help you center your inner self: Glide, D.C.’s premier—and only—annual new age DJ night returns to U Street Music Hall. Hosted by Washington Post pop music critic Chris Richards, Glide isn’t your traditional DJ night. U Street Music Hall is transformed into a dimly lit sanctuary, with a custom light installation created by the Edit Lab at Streetsense. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own yoga mats, blankets, or whatever is needed to bliss-out to the ambient, ethereal sounds Richards spins on his decks. In these trying times, it’s hard to achieve nirvana, but Glide is here to help you capture whatever inner peace you may find. Namaste.
