Here are our recommendations on the best o’ the best.
Friday, April 24
Peking Duk
@ Blowfish
The acclaimed Australian EDM duo made up of Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles first hit the mainstream in 2012 and have since become a fixture of major festivals in the Land Down Under. Their latest single, “High,” reached #5 on the Australian music sales charts, achieved platinum status.
Starts at 10pm. Blowfish, City Plaza at Wisma Mulia, Jl Jend Gatot Subroto 42. 085710800001.
“After Hours” feat. Kim Ann Foxman
@ Loewy
Kim Ann Foxman stepped away from singing with New York’s neo-disco collective Hercules and Love Affair to return to her fundamental passions: rocking clubs as a DJ and producing raw electronic music. She should bring a very progressive vibe to Loewy’s for the first night of their new “After Hours” series of events.
Starts 9pm. Loewy, Oakwood Premier Cozmo. Jl. Lingkar Mega Kuningan E4.2 No.1. (021) 25542378
Saturday, April 25
Sunshine Jones
@ Bauhaus
Sunshine Jones is a “house legend” in San Francisco and a founding member of Dubtribe Sound System. His lively DJ sets incorporate live mixing, singing, re editing on the fly, and he champions the idea that literally anything you can syncopate can be considered house music.
Starts 10pm. Bau-Haus, The East Plaza, Jl. DR Ide Anak Agung Gde Agung, Mega Kuningan Kav E3.2 No.1, Basement Floor. (021) 29527173
Peaches and Cream
@ Potato Head Garage
It’s that Peaches and Cream time of the month again. This monthly hip hop and R&B party night is still one of the most successful in the city, drawing in thousands of revelers to the cavernous grounds of Potato Head Garage. They’ve gotten much stricter about overcrowding, so get there a bit early if you don’t want to be stuck waiting in line to get in.
10pm onward. FDC Rp. 150k. Potato Head Garage, Jl. Jenderal Sudirman Kav 52-53. (021) 57973330
