For more latin flavor with four-on-the-floor beats, head to the Rose on Thursday for the latin house edition of Flight. Selector Coast2C brings some Mexico City flavors along with Jose Sosa, Mario Maroto and Demetre Baca. (9 pm, $5, 21+)
Though they might be shooting themselves in the foot with the name Body PartyâI could still probably listen to Ciara and the remixes all nightâthe newfound Thursday night slot at Holocene promises fun, cross-genre jams. Veteran DJs Holla n Oates, Ben Tactic and Chrome Wolves rock your bahdaaay. (9 pm, free, 21+)
Dirtybird Records founder Worthy is the type of artist you can brag about seeing at such an intimate (and weird) venue as Tonic Lounge. Saturday night is the release party for his new LP Disbehave, a collection of weird and soulful house thatâs definitely worthy of Worthy. (9 pm, $10, 21+)
DJ Hoodboi is leading Jersey club away from the prisons of Newarkâs CD-Js and into the light of the internet. Even a recent remix of T-Painâs âBartenderââa song released some seven years agoâfinds new places to go with the track. Catch him on Saturday at Holoceneâs Verified. (9 pm, free before 11 pm with RSVP, $7 after 11 pm, 21+)
After partying the weekend away, itâs time to seek sanctuaryâSanctuary Sunday at Lightbar, that is. Etbonz, Wayne and Tired Universe will swirl and arpeggiate your wildest synth dreams, with resident DJs Mike Jedlicka and Elias Foley filling in the gaps. (8 pm, free, 21+)
