SAT | MARC HOULE at NORAD | 11/30/13 Marc Houle has attracted attention from some of techno's finest players, from Richie Hawtin to Miss Kittin to Troy Pierce. Houle's studio tracks get snatched up and spun by everyone who's anyone in dance music, spanning genres and lighting up clubs and underground warehouses alike. But his live sets represent a whole new level of amazing: He uses those synthesizers for a truly live experience -- not just mixing one track into another, but tailoring each and every soundscape to the venue and audience at hand. See what he does for you this Saturday, November 30, at NORAD, with Josh Manke and Drew Bull.

SAT | FLOSSTRADAMUS at OGDEN THEATRE | 11/30/13 It was only a matter of time before someone brought Dirty South beats into the world of EDM, and Flosstradamus has certainly set the precedent for what a good trap show is supposed to be like. It's like Flosstradamus slipped drum and bass tracks in a potent cup of lean. Trap music has been around for awhile, but in this new era acts like Flosstradamus are bringing chopped beats and bangin' kicks to the dance floor.
