Thursday
Thunder Finger Showcase
| when: | Thur 3.22 (10pm-5am) |
| where: | PS 14 (28 NE 14th St, Downtown) |
| price: | $10 with RSVP |
| links: | Event Info |
We're not sure what to make of a label called Thunder Finger – we hope there aren't any jokes about pulling fingers involved – but judging from the lineup, digital music doesn't come much more hardcore. Berlin's Boys Noize wields hyper-compressed synths inna Ed Bangalter stylee; Australia's Presets, complementing their live sets with a special DJ session, offer nu rave's answer to the Pet Shop Boys; and Thunder Fingerers Kerowack bust out electro-snark anthems like "Fuck Guitars." Amongst the many opening DJs, we can vouch for Frisco Disco glitter-boy Jefrodisiac and the formerly junglistical, now minimalicious Qzen to make a messy night even messier.

Get Physical Miami
| when: | Thur 3.22 (10pm-late) |
| where: | Studio A (60 NE 11th St, Downtown) |
| price: | $20 advance |
| links: | Event Info | Get Physical |
Berlin's Get Physical label has a surefire path to success: combine the best bits from deep house, minimal, acid, Detroit techno, funk, and pop, then graft them into memorable and massive crowd pleasers. With this strategy they conquered Ibiza a few summers back; let's see how Miami comes around. In-housers Booka Shade, M.A.N.D.Y., and Monza's Heidi are obvious picks, but affiliates Jesse Rose and Claude VonStroke may pull the party towards the bubblier end of the house hot tub.

| where: | Beach Plaza Hotel Rooftop (1401 Collins Ave) |
| price: | FREE with RSVP |
| links: | Event Info |
Basic NYC and San Francisco's Dirtybird Records partner up for a rooftop soiree that should have wings a-flappin'. Whistlin' Claude VonStroke and Jesse Rose from Dubsided head up the house-centric lineup, bringing along the likes of Justin Martin, Christian Martin, and Matt Tolfrey & Marc Ashken. One question: what the heck is Diplo doing in here? Birds of a feather…
