Tue May 19 · Elsewhere
Friendship, Lomelda, Lily Talmers
Lomelda and Friendship at Elsewhere, the kind of indie show that gets booked because the bands play the show before. Lily Talmers opens. Tuesday night, no spectacle.
Thu May 21 · Jupiter Disco
SMURFO + UMA DJ
Smurfo at Jupiter Disco, free, no special guests announced yet. Christopher carries a family lineage most DJs would frame as marketing: father a funk guitarist who recorded with France Joli and Taana Gardner, grandmother Terry Pollard in Detroit's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for her jazz piano. He doesn't say any of this. He just plays.

Thu May 21 · public records
dh2 Label Night: Olof Dreijer 'Loud Bloom,' Introspekt
Olof Dreijer at Public Records for a dh2 label night with Introspekt. The Knife co-founder operating under his own name. The room is built for the kind of low-frequency work he does live.

Fri May 22 · Dead Letter No. 9
ALEXIS DE LA ROSA, Donis, Jay Esko, Jiancarlo | Dead Letter No.9
Dead Letter No. 9 on a Friday with ALEXIS DE LA ROSA, Donis, Jay Esko, and Jiancarlo. Free. The Williamsburg loft where every room was built by hand keeps its doors open midweek and weekend alike.
Fri May 22 · Nowadays
Focus: Dub Techno with Moritz von Oswald, Exos & Loidis
