For this edition, resident Katrina Mir was joined by Washington, D.C.-based guests Alanapana and KayLaSoul for an afternoon session rooted in groove, feeling, and serious musical intention. Alanapana @alanpana brings a warm, intuitive approach shaped by a lifelong connection to sound, weaving together deep house, jazz textures, minimal rhythms, and golden-era hip-hop influences. Her sets move with a natural flow that feels both personal and expansive, built on a foundation of deep listening and emotional connection to the music. Expect a journey that drifts between styles while staying locked into a soulful, understated pulse.

A resident at Flash and Eighteenth Street Lounge and founder of The Rabbit Hole events, she brings a refined, dancefloor-focused energy shaped by years behind the decks. Alongside Katrina Mir guiding the session, this is a celebration of women in the scene and the kind of heads-down, no-compromise selections that define DC House Grooves.
