    UNM AreaDJ setTickets

    Reklez Ent takes over Gaias Kava Root for a late-night party that runs from 10 p.m. into the early hours of Sunday morning. Kava bars carry a noticeably mellower baseline energy than a standard club, so expect the room to hit its stride slower and stay more conversational until the floor properly opens up. Tickets...

  • Sade Tribute Night at Insideout

    Inside Out
    Downtownsoul/R&BTickets

    DJ Hump holds down a full late-night set built around Sade's catalog at Insideout, one of Downtown's more dependable dance rooms when the booking is right. The 2 a.m. start time is not a typo, so plan accordingly if you have anywhere to be Sunday morning. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means will-call...

  • We House Fridays: House & Tech House

    SPACE AT 515
    house/technoDetails

    This is the weekly house residency at SPACE AT 515, running tech house and deep house through the night on Central. The room runs late and the floor doesn't really find its footing until well after 10, so arriving right at door is optional. Start time is unconfirmed from the source, so check the ticket...

    DowntownDJ setTickets

    This is a late-night tribute DJ set at El Rey, running from 9:30 p.m. Friday deep into Saturday morning, which tells you everything about the crowd's intentions. El Rey's floor opens up well when a DJ has the room to themselves, and a set framed around a specific artist's influence tends to pull people who...

  • Emo Nite

    Launchpad
    DowntownDJ setTickets

    The traveling Emo Nite party comes to Launchpad for a DJ-driven night built around the anthems that defined a very specific kind of teenage suffering: Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, the whole catalog. Launchpad's narrow room and loud sound system make this kind of communal screaming-along work better than it has any right...

  • DJ Brad Cole at Insideout

    Inside Out
    DowntownDJ setTickets

    Brad Cole has been a fixture in the Albuquerque DJ scene long enough to know how to read a room, and Strange Mix is built around exactly that flexibility, no fixed genre, just whatever the floor needs. Insideout runs late, and this one goes until nearly 7 a.m., so pace yourself accordingly. A ticket link...

  • Afters with the Cave at Luna Kava

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM AreaelectronicTickets

    This is a post-dawn wind-down hosted by NM Rave Cave at one of the corridor's more interesting rooms, a kava bar that handles late-night energy better than most venues with a liquor license. Luna Kava's setup lends itself to exactly this kind of low-lit, still-moving crowd, so expect the vibe to lean more communal than...
