Salome returns to BASEMENT for her first set of the year. A key resident of Herrensauna, Salome matches the expansive, edgy technoid sounds of her crew with a hard, lean and crushing interpretation of electro. Indeed, she told RA “When I first heard electro, I had an epiphany.” But Salome doesn’t paint herself into a corner. The Georgian-born, Berlin-based artist weaves a complex tapestry that cannot be pigeonholed. Peachlyfe contorts club sounds into fascinatingly twisted shapes. The Copenhagen artist is at the forefront of a generation that’s reinterpreting trance, psy, prog and more through a lens of post-deconstructed club. Tracks like “Return of the Wasp Waist / Calling All My Hoes” are prime examples of truly alien music. In their own words, they make tracks “that shouldn’t make sense, but do, pulling chaos into something weirdly anthemic.” Sister Zo’s unique sound wraps the propulsion and linear clarity of techno around the twisted chassis of modern bass music. Or perhaps it’s the other way around. Her releases on Martyn’s 3024 and elsewhere breathe with spacious ease while pummeling you with some of the heaviest low end on the books today. DJ Gigola is back in STUDIO. One of the main Live From Earth affiliates, Gigola has embodied the label’s rulebook-shredding approach as well as anyone. She can rinse a room for all its worth, or take you on a deep dive into a “fluid mediation.” In her hands, it’s all good. Last year’s “Bigroom Sensual II” captures her in a peaktime moment, with rubbery synths and giant, HD climaxes that send the dancefloor to the highest heights. Meilgaarden is a kindred spirit, capturing a stylish iteration of some of the cheekiest sounds in the club music canon. Trance, proggy house and rolling, techy grooves bleed together with a breezy, hypnotic power. Tunnel founder OZA makes the trip from Los Angeles. A key proponent of queer nightlife in his hometown, OZA embraces a full-throttle sound heavy on cutting edge club sounds. ■ No photos or videos ■ Ticket purchase does not guarantee entrance ■ No phone use on the dancefloor ■ The dance floor is for dancing, not conversation ■ No glowing/flashing clothes or items ■ Respect other people's space, no shuffling ■ Consent is mandatory ■ Zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism or any form of discrimination ■ Take care of each other, alert our staff if somebody isn't feeling well ■ Violating the house rules will result in removal PLEASE REVIEW HOUSE POLICIES AT LINK BELOW
