Event: Halflife One Year Anniversary
Venue: An Sibin
DJ's: Rob F, Impulse, M, Kryptyk, Sinseer, Aneurysm
Music: drum n’ bass
Cover: TBA
In nuclear physics “half-life” is the time required for half of a radioactive substance to disintegrate by radioactive decay or be eliminated by natural processes. So if this big bangin’ drum and bass night is celebrating a year (in half-life terms) this shit should be going on for at least another year. Congratulations Halflife! Special guests Rob F and Impulse “blow up” the spot this week. (These puns are really getting to you, aren't’t they?)

Event: Minimal Monday
Venue: Hush Hush
DJ's: Joe Rice, Catweasel, Terrac, Chris Burfine, Forest Green
Music: minimal techno, downtempo
Cover: Free
Minimal is beautiful because it allows you to hear some beautiful sounds without a bunch of unnecessary crap thrown in the background to fill up space. It’s like the bare essence of a track without the frills and stuff. Because you really don’t need a lot of extra crap on Monday anyway. Let us simplify with straight beats and straight whiskey at Hush Hush.

Event: Addicted
Venue: Backflip
DJ's: Adrian C, Centipede
Music: hip-hop, electro, club classics
Cover: $10, 2 for $5
Addicted happens every week. They just can’t stop. A well-dressed crowd with a dirty attitude gets down with some electro, hip-hop classics and other flavors of funk because they won’t stop…they can’t stop…the body rock.

Event: Tapestry
Venue: Lingba
DJ's: John-Paul with rotating guests, Scott Edmonds, Push, Wisdom
Music: techno, hip-hop, house, breakbeats
Cover: Free
Yeah so basically these guys are playing whatever they want and having fun doing it. “Don’t box me in man, I have no genre, no style to define for you. I just don’t see music that way.” This is the attitude of most musicians. Marketing people put labels on things not artists. Rise up and fight the revolution. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot more of these mash-up no category nights. Don’t you?

Event: The Loop
Venue: Galaxy
DJ's: Delivery, Kelsone, Pash, Makintosh, Lite
Music: hip-hop, funk
Cover: $3
So that superhero night, Sound Defenders has morphed into something new – same bat time, same bat place and starring some of the same characters. It’s called “The Loop” as in, we’re keeping you in it. Music includes hip-hop, funk, reggae, soul and other beat-heavy material utilizing breaks, samples and of course the infamous loop/the infamous loop/the infamous loop/the infamous loop/the infamous….

Music: 2-step, ambient, breakbeats, brit-pop, downtempo, hip hop, house, rock, nu-jazz
Cover: $3 b4 11pm
God I want to hate this new ultra cool bar, but I can’t. I am a victim of it’s asymmetrical electro-flavored hype. Just look at all these musical genres, are they serious? Flyer magazine’s new weekly “Slow Burning” puts an end to your same-shit-all night-long-blues by featuring more musical styles than Amoeba Records. You could hear hip-hop, electro bits, dub, all sorts of breakbeats, The Smiths, dancehall classics, mid ‘90s anthems and the list goes on. “Drunken good times and fucking great music.” That seems to be the only consistent unifying theme.

Event: Dig Deep
Venue: Buzz 9
DJ's: Efrem, Oolong
Music: deep house
Cover: $3 after 10pm
Dig Deep delves into some new digs. Recently leaving Blind Tiger, Buzz 9 is the perfect spot to hear some deep house on a Wednesday and it’s underground, quite literally. The basement at Buzz 9 is a special wondrous cozy cavern great for dancing or not. This pick is dedicated to Dylan who was just asking me where to find quality house for cheap midweek.

Event: Red Wine Social
Venue: Dalva
DJ's: Toph, Tiki Jim and surprise special guests
Music: house, electro, funk
Cover: TBA
This night is crazier than a high school house party while your parents are away. But instead of hearing Whitesnake your hearing the best funky eclectic beats from DJs like Polywog, DJ Pause, Toph One and Kemrex … OK, so sometimes you hear Whitesnake. It doesn't’t really matter after so much red wine does it? I got so wasted last week I came home with my arms fully tagged up with a sharpie. Everyone was doing it at the time but when you wake up in the morning to get coffee in front of you r roommates you feel like a real ass. This is the spot where your favorite DJs, graffiti artists, janitors and editors conspire to take over the world.

Music: house
Cover: TBA
What else can Kit Kat do to celebrate their 13th Anniversary besides rock it like they do every week? Extend their hours! That’s right 10pm to 6am for this night only. So let me ask you this: If you usually leave Kit Kat at 4am, hit a warehouse party until 9am, then hit a bar after that until 11am and sleep until 7pm, will the whole after hour schedule also be affected by Kit Kat’s extended hours? Mark Farina guest-stars on this edition of the Loveboat.

Event: Nu W
Venue: W Hotel
