Bartender’s choice: Constant, off-the-hook dance parties and the house specialty, the Ginger Rogers ($6). Experimental and deliciously noisy sounds, stiff drinks, and a chronic dance-party remix on the floor make Holocene a triple threat that brings the heat. A must-have signature cocktail, the Happy Finish ($6), is a tall order of bourbon and Chambord precisely blended with fresh measures of lime and cranberry. But if you’re gonna be instigating a dance revolution, throw back the Pocari Sweat ($6.50), a combo of Hakutsuru sake, vodka, soda, sugar and salt (electrolytes!) mixed with a trio of lemon, lime and orange. That’ll get the party started. HAPPY HOUR, DJs, LIVE MUSIC, SMOKING LOUNGE, QUEER NIGHTS, DRAG. (EB)

[BEATS IN SPACE] Though the moniker "trip-hop" is outdated and usually nonsensical in its application, one cannot help but think of the genre when considering L.A.'s Flying Lotus, a.k.a. Stephen Ellison. On his earlier tracks, the elements of trip-hop are there: samples of crackling records and sound clips; phased beats; and dark, brooding melodies—and though the artwork on his newest record, Los Angeles, seems to reference Massive Attack's trip-hop-genre-defining Mezzanine, he is clearly defying expectations by breathing life into his beats, sampling organic sounds and generally blowing everyone else making beats and laptop music out of the water (including Four Tet). Don't miss it. JIM SANDBERG. Holocene 9 pm. $9. 21+.
