Momentum Check
Weekly Drops: Rave Radar + CAKE Mixtape (House Playlist)
We’re officially three weeks into the new year, and the energy is already setting the tone. New goals, new routines, new sounds but the same love for late nights, loud bass, and being exactly where you’re supposed to be.
By now, the New Year hype has settled in and this is where it gets real. This is the part of the year where momentum matters. Showing up, staying consistent, and actually doing the things you said you would when that alarm clocks goes off. Whether that means trying new things, staying consistent, showing up for yourself, discovering new hobbies, or just making more time for what moves you this is the stretch where it starts to click.
This weekend is stacked with dance floors doing what they do best. From club nights to underground vibes, house grooves to bass heavy energy, there’s no shortage of places to lose track of time and lock into the moment. The scene is alive, and every city has something just for you
