Braille, Max Pearl, Volvox, John Barera at Bossa Nova Civic Club [10PM/FREE]
House and techno in a low key setting from a cast of really interesting selectors. Braille is half of Sepalcure but also a resident at Percussion Lab. Max Pearl is editor of Cluster Mag, John Barera runs Supply Records. Don’t really know what Volvox’s deal is but the name tends to show up in the more psychedelic company so I’m guessing he or she isn’t boring.

SUNDAY, JULY 14

LIT CITY RAVE: Oneman (UK), Brenmar, Brass Fergie, Durban, J-Cush at Public Assembly Loft [10PM/$10]
Whereas most headliners become famous based on a few hit tunes, Oneman has become a household name in UK bass music solely on the strength of his DJing. Not only is his mixing “techno-tight” but his selections are always a paragon of what is relevant in contemporary dance music. Support from a familiar and talented cast of Lit City fam and allies.

See you on the floor!

Tonight has a too many good options to pick just one! Brooklyn Bass has up-n-coming outsider house producers Madteo and Anthony Naples for just $7 at Cameo! Broke City keeps it wonderfully weird in Bushwick with PICTUREPLANE plus their unusually talented residents. Webster Hall has Starkey and Nosaj Thing, two of my favorite stateside bass producers who both have a keen ear for nuance and melody despite wildly different production styles. And the first edition of Club Xero, with guest Obey City, is debuting  at Tutus, a new basement club in Morgantown. Residents Strange VIP (aka The Captain of Trouble & Bass) and Lola Pistola (aka FIASCO) will be keepin things dark and trappy.

Saturday, tho, is all about the tenth installment of RECONSTRVCT at House of Yes. Headliner Indigo is unfortunately stranded in South America but they are hard at work looking for a replacement – good thing the lineup is already super-stacked: Dark Tantrums is still coming in from the UK (he’s released on Mala’s Deep Medi label and collabs with Kromestar as Team Starfleet). Also, Footwork maven Wheez-ie and .San Diego producer EshOne along with resident True Nature and Selektah Twice doing an opening Roots & Culture set. If you prefer things a little more bro-steppy, Public Assembly has N-Type, MRK-1 and Megaladon along with the Darkroom DJs

Also of note, Monday you can catch Turrbotax resident Rem Koolhaus at Night Spa, a dance party that yes, is in an actual spa. Enjoy saunas, steam rooms, and hot and cold baths while jamming to some top shelf house and techno.

Plus, don’t forget to check out all the new events added this week. Addison Groove will be playing an intimate show at Cameo Gallery on Feb 1. Drum n bass legends Photek, DJ Zinc and Goldie  are playing three very different parties in the coming months, Ellen Allien and Nina Kraviz are headlining a Resolute/Blk Market double header, and it gives me great pleasure to once again list Detroit legend, DJ Dez Andres, whose set at Loreley last year was absolutely one of my favorites of 2012.

Fuck yeah! See you on the floor!
