With UMS taking over the town this weekend — and everyone recovering from Global Dance Festival and Full Moon Gathering last weekend, not to mention Sunshine Jones last night — this week’s Dance Card isn’t quite as full, but between DJ Micro and the all-vinyl House Revival session, you will still find plenty of opportunities to shake that ass. Here’s what’s on our Dance Card:
The renowned DJ Micro will be making a stop tonight at the Church; over Micro’s decade-spanning career, he’s transitioned beautifully from breakbeats to today’s techno-kissed trance, and he’ll no doubt have Churchgoers raising their hands in praise. (9 p.m., 18+, free for ladies 21+, $15 for guys 21+, $20 for those under 21)
Funky Buddha‘s hosting another Friday Fling with DJ Shake 1 and guests spinning hip-hop and Top 40. (8 p.m., 21+)
And yes, it’s that time again — time for Forever Fridays, Beta‘s weekly club night with resident DJs Shares, Petey and Frank, plus P.U.N.C.H.I.S. presenting ZoOLoGiKo in the Beatport Lounge. TGIF! (9 p.m., 21+, $5, no cover for ladies)
