10.03 FREQUENC: STEVE SUMMERS, KINOEYE & MORE @ NIGHTLIGHT
Two things you need to know about this dance shindig and night of thoughtful electronic music. Number one: It’s the last FrequeNC monthly party at Nightlight, and they’ve been doing it well there for three years now. Two: They’ve gathered a special cadre from the label’s roster for this blowout. Steve Summers is the acid house nom de plume of Jason Letkiewicz, whose Rhythm Based Lovers project on FrequeNC was a smash. He’s also half of the duo Manhunter on Ghostly International (home to Matthew Dear, et al.). Durham’s Zeke Graves (aka DATAHATA) made waves among European house heads with his deep house vibe as KINOEYE. Beautiful Swimmers is Ari Goldman (also in Manhunter) and Andrew Field-Pickering of Food for Animals, both primo DJs who know their way around a fader. Basically, here are some of the world’s best in their respective nooks and crannies of techno, disco and house music, no joshing, and the label putting out the music—and this dance party—calls your backyard home. $6/ 10 p.m. —Chris Toenes
