Guillermo CastroIn case you missed it, we’re teaming up with our friends over at Digital Good Times to help curate the latest edition of their Synthesizer live series. Synthesizer Vol. III takes over the Mammal Gallery this Saturday night and will feature an eclectic lineup of forward-thinking electronic artists. Headlining the evening is emerging alt-pop duo CLAVVS, whose dark, spectral take on trip hop and dance music makes for one of the most compelling sounds in the city. Joining them in support is Immersive favorite 10th Letter, who is, quite simply, one of the most dynamic and inventive artists we’ve had the honor of covering. His new record, The Revenge, is out September 23, so this is a perfect opportunity to get a taste of what the maestro has been cooking up. Rounding out the lineup is producer extraordinaire Marble Mansion who’ll be out snapping necks with his trap-inspired soundscapes and Konda featuring Original Copy who’ll get the party started with a heady set of futuristic jazz fusion. All in all this is the perfect soundtrack and scene for your post Dragon Con festivities. Tickets are only $5 in advance so make sure to smash that link and grab yours soon.
As for the rest of the week, the calendar is not as stacked as usual, but there’s definitely some choice shows to hit up this week. Check out our full list of recommendations below.
