PDneXt: DJ Rashad, Massacooramaan, Natasha Kmeto, Graintable, Plumblyne, Danny Corn
9 pm., Wednesday January 16 | $5.
[EDM] PDneXt, the monthly gathering of Portland’s electronic-music vanguard started by Danny Corn, Natasha Kmeto, Plumblyne and Graintable, turns 1 year old, and to celebrate, the curators are going big. Along with sets from the founding producers, they’re bringing in one of the most au courant names in EDM, Chicago’s DJ Rashad. For the last few years, the beatmaker has been one of the lead proselytizers of footwork, a style that evolved out of house music, characterized by stuttering drums and frantic rhythms. In 2012, his efforts paid off, as his TEKLIFE Vol. 1: Welcome to the Chi landed on just about everyone’s best albums list, and helped establish the music—also referred to as “juke”—as one of the most thrilling subgenres in the underground dance world.
