RBMA x DARK DISCO: Metro Area, Bok Bok b2b L-Vis 1990, Gerd Janson at 88 Palace [$15/11PM]

Mean Red is going even harder than usuals for this Dark Disco, their quarterly party in a chinatown mall that feels like a Rave/Bar Mitzvah fever dream. With a lil help from RBMA, they’ve brought out 3 headlining acts. Top billin is a a debut live set from Metro Area, the first performance in 10 years from house/disco duo of Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani. Then another house/disco heavyweight, German producer, label boss and former Berghain resident DJ, Gerd Janson. Check the extra smooth, soulful, funky vibes from a recent BR set of his.  But what really puts this over the top is a b2b set from Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990, founding members of Night Slugs. These guys have been instrumental in bringing back forward-thinking 4×4 sounds in UK bass music. Their DJ sets are always blisteringly energetic and packed with future classics.
