TIGERMILK: secret guest (Night Slugs), Dj Uniique, Obey City b2b Doctor Jeep, Kuato, The Orator at 70 N 6th St [10PM/$10-15]
A new party from Kuato (of Partyguy Records) and Nick Concklin aka The Orator designed to highlight the connections between many genres of bass music (much like this mailing list!).  Secret Night Slugs headliner is just the cherry on top (hint – it’s probably the one who lives in NYC). Ferocious jersey club/ghettotech from DJ Uniique  should be a treat; Doctor Jeep is one of our favorite bass music dj/producers (check his recent mixpak radio session), and he’s going b2b with another longtime fav, Obey City.  Plus sets from the founders – who clearly know Brooklyn bass music to have put together such a great lineup. Could this be the bass music party we’ve been waiting for?

Plus sets from PercLab’s Braille and Nooka Jones, and Turrbo residents C-Sick and Rem Koolhaus.

NIGHT PEOPLE: Curses, DKDS, Eli Escobar, Blu Jemz, Lloydski at Le Bain [10PM/FREE] Record release party for Drop The Lime’s techno alias, Curses. Check out the singleand his promo mix. Very different than his Trouble & Bass material. Still dark, very dancefloor oriented, just trading in the rockabilly swagger and dubstep bass for Vangelis synths and icey drums. Collaborators DKDS and Night People residents Blu Jemz, Lloydski and Eli Escobar will keep the darkness going.

a/jus/ted at Kinfolk Studios [10PM/FREE]
Super-heavy disco all night from the a/jus/ted, the duo of 20-something Eddie Mars and Justin Strauss, a 3 decade veteran of NYC dance music. Check out their excellent june mix. This isn’t nice disco. No string arrangements or diva vocals here. Just driving basslines and extra crispy drums, perfect for dancing in dark rooms or driving all night.

DISCOVERY: Free Magic, Faso, and Chris Costello at Glasslands Gallery [11:30/FREE]
Our favorite disco party (4 years in August!) is doing a resident night for FREE! How can this be? Their home venue, Glasslands, has just installed a big new soundsystem, which means Discovery doesn’t have to pay to bring in extra sound. And they’re passing the savings onto us. Really excited to hear the new sound there, as Glasslands will be hosting some acts that demand it later this summer (Phaeleh, Lil’ Silva and L-Vis 1990).

Arbutus x UNO After Dark: Gobby, Special Guest, Ian Isiah, Aquarian, Kuhrye-oo at 285 Kent [12AM/$10]
Gobby’s neurosis-fueled noisey techno, Ian Isiah’s sexed-slathered RnB and Aquarian’s dark dancey techno are all stellar examples of the creativity that makes Uno such an interesting label. But to these ears, it’s opener Kuhrye-oo’s genre-fucking style that is the most compelling. His superb mixes deftly navigate a maze of dark 2-step, hiphop, vocal garage, juke, and ambient, always coming back to a center of frenetic drums and emotive midrange. Dark, psychedelic club music that is all the more danceable for it’s eclectic approach. He’s up first, at midnight.

Temple of Bass: Imagika Om, Joro Boro, The Mast, True Nature, Natasha Blank at The Knockdown Center [10-6/$20]
One of them vegan raves, with no booze and raw food vendors. Seriously though, this looks like a really well-put together event (and a lack of drunk fools is nothing to complain about). This is a REALLY well curated lineup of NYC bass music. Natasha Blank is, founder of the ecstatic yoga dance party Get your Dance On and an equal-opportunity party-rocker. True Nature of Reconstrvct, master of all things dub/dubstep/drum n bass. Joro Boro, I’ll just give you his own words here: “etnoteck, glitch-folk and post-national bass” (which I can tell you from many late nights at Rubulad, fucking kicks ass). I’ve written at length about my love for live electronica duo The Mast, and the event organizers seem to agree. Headliner Imagika Om I’m admittedly not familiar with, but sounds like some fractally tribal glitch hop. All this is happening at the Knockdown Center in Queens (don’t worry, it’s still on the L train), powered by the world-class Tsunami Bass soundsystem.

BangOn!NYC in 3D: Koan Sound, Minnesota, Chainsmokers, LowRIDERz, Max Mischief, Alex English, Sean Glass, GIno Santos, Bekim, Lacey Youngblood, Suntalk, Golden Pony, more at tba near Montrose L [9PM-6/$25]
BangOn is like the Brooklyn-raised bastard child of EDC and Lightning in a Bottle – the lineup is leans heavily on West Coast heavy bass sounds, surrounded by carnival rides, fancy lighting and 3D projections (glasses provided), food vendors and live art, all in an air-conditioned BK warehouse. Must see acts are Koan Sound, for their exuberant, funky glitch-hop (think Tipper-meets-Bootsy) and Minnesota’s melodic, luscious lovers dubstep. Oh yeah, and they added Felix Da Housecat, for bonus name recognition/ lovers of generic festival house.

TIKI DISCO: Lloydski, Andy Pry, Eli Escobar at the Panther Room Rooftop [3-10PM/$10]
Tiki Disco has exploded in popularity since it’s genesis in the backyard of Robertas 3 summers ago. Notable that they’ve done this without ever having any guest headliners – which is a testament to the way Andy Pry, Eli Escobar and Lloydki all fucking BURN IT DOWN every goddamn time. This Sunday, the summer dance party/cult will get all up in Output’s Panther Room and roof deck.

Terrence Parker, Free Magic & Faso at Cameo Gallery [12AM/$12]
Terrence Parker is the fucking truth. His high energy, raw, soulful house selections and unbelievable turntablism have made him a legend amongst legends. Watch this and this right now and tell me you aren’t blown away. And yeah, he uses a telephone headset instead of headphones. Why? Well, when you can DJ like TP, it really doesn’t matter. Discovery Party residents Free Magic & Faso warm things up with their always on-point house and disco selections.

SUBVERSE: Kryptic Minds (UK), Asylum (UK), SNGL, Rozi, I.N.I., Max Mischief, Tsunami Bass Sound at The Paper Box [9PM/$20]
Proper UK dubstep on a proper system. The duo of Kryptic Minds pillars of the classic dubstep sound, and they’re also bringing over Asylum from the UK. Local bassweight purveyors, SNGL, Rozi (who runs the Tuba label) and Subverse-NYC residents I.N.I. and Max Mischief complete the bill. Worth noting that there’s a late night b2b Neurofunk DnB sesh scheduled between Asylum and I.N.I. All this will be booming over the famous Tsunami Bass soundsystem with 4 labhorn subs, so get ready to FEEL it.

Astro Nautico’s monthly experimental beats party in Brooklyn’s raviest parking garage/art gallery (it makes sense when you’re there). Not as familiar with this lineup so I’m not going to attempt to summarize, but Astro has become a name you can trust in underground bass music. Also featuring Tsunami Bass Sound (busy friday for those wizards!) and guest VJs for your ear and eye pleasure.

Trouble & Bass: SWINDLE (deep medi, UK), Starkey, DJ Slow, Star Eyes, Strange VIP at Steel Drums [10PM/$10]
Swindle is a hell of a musician. He takes purple dubstep and infuses it with a triple shot of jazz-funk synth lines, which he executes brilliantly with incredible keyboard chops. His first track, Do The Jazz, changed my fucking life when I heard his label-mates Silkie & Quest drop it at Cielo last year. I’ve still never heard anything like it, except for Swindle’s other productions. Swindle’s full length record comes out later this month – stream it here. Also headlining is the exceptionally talented ‘street bass’ producer Starkey, from Philly. He’s had an incredible run of sci-fi themed albums and EPs over the last few years (Orbits being one of my favorite albums of 2012). Finally, T&B crew Star Eyes and Strange VIP will be warming up, plus special guest DJ Slow, still in town from RBMA.

EPROM, Dubbel Dutch, Sleepyhead at Glasslands Gallery [11:30PM/$10]
Eprom has been mutating hip hop beats into delightfully monstrous bass music for 7 or 8 years now. A perfect example is his Kendrick remix, which has thoroughtly blown up in the last few weeks. His first LP, Metahuman, came out last year on Rwina Records, and earned wide praise for his glitched-out 808s and crunchy, low slung basslines. Personally, his Pipe Dream EP is still my favorite. It’s a shame that this is competing with the Starkey/Swindle show, as Starkey is actually a huge fan of Eprom’s; listen to him gush over some classic Eprom here (“you can’t play anything after this!”). Excellently chosen support acts, too – Dubbel Dutch always tears it down with his turbo-tropical club jams, and Broke City resident Sleepyhead is quite an accomplished bass music producer and DJ in his own right.
