IF YOU KNOW. DON'T TELL.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW. FIND OUT.
Every Saturday. 11PM to Late.
The Arcade is Washington DC's basement club: one room, one night a week, and a booth that runs house, afro house and melodic house until the lights come up. Since 2024 the season has been booked as a residency rather than a calendar of one-offs, with Calamar Records artists and touring guests taking the Saturday in turn. Doors at 11PM.

If You Know, Don't Tell
The room is a basement and it behaves like one: low ceiling, a system built for it, and nothing to look at but the booth. The night runs to the same shape every week — doors at 11PM, the floor filled by midnight, last record when the season says so. The bill goes up one artist at a time. If you don't know, find out.
