Uh oh, missed my Wednesday night deadline this week. Can’t remember the last time I was scrambling to pull the post together on a Thursday morning, but here we are. Without further ado, here are the links to this week’s top picks:
Just click the link for the day you’re interested in to see the list over on Facebook. Don’t forget to RSVP Going to any events you plan on attending. My highlights for the weekend including Playlist with Jubilee & Ramirez on Thursday, always the best deep vibes each and every Thursday night, then on Friday, DC House Grooves takes over the Green Room at Flash, with DC House Grooves show residents Andy Grant, Katrina Mir & Ramirez joined behind the decks by our good friend DJ Kochi for nothing but deep, family vibes on the rooftop. No set times, no bullshit, just a group of experienced tune slingers hanging out and vibing off each other’s energy. Not to be missed! On the club level, Basic Channel legend Mortitz Von Oswald is joined by Jamaica Suk and Wade Hammes for what’s sure to be a major music journey for the heads, while downstairs, Taiga & Throe keep things grooving in the bar. Advanced tickets are recommended. Only $8 is you move fast.

You can get a taste of what to expect on the rooftop Friday night on last week’s DC House Grooves Show on Underground Quality Radio, featuring yours truly and Katrina Mir:
Another great option for Friday night is the L.E.N.G. Resident Night over at Jimmy Valentine’s Lonely Hearts Club, featuring Djoser, Panch, Kouhai and special guest Lars Warn. Always a whole lot of energy in the room when the L.E.N.G. crew cut loose. One for the heads, and with no cover, the price is right.

Also on Friday, Ten Tigers Parlour plays host to the mighty Team Zapata, going head to head with the equally mighty Buster. Quality beats all night from some of the best locals in the game.

Saturday night, head to Flash to get Perlonized with the master Sammy D and local hero Navbox on the club level, our fellow Underground Quality Radio show runner Cafuné brings the heat on the rooftop alongside Philip Goyette and down in the bar Jandro is joined by Disgonuts.
