• International Thursdays at Bourbon & Boots

    DowntownDJ setDetails

    Bourbon & Boots runs its weekly International Thursdays late into the night, with a DJ format built around a rotating global playlist that shifts depending on who's behind the decks. The 1 a.m. start is the thing to clock here: this is not a come-early situation, and the room doesn't find its footing until well...

  • Comatose Beatz at Marble Brewery Downtown

    DowntownDJ setDetails

    Comatose Beatz takes over the Downtown Marble taproom for a late end-of-summer send-off, the kind of night that treats a Tuesday like it owes you something. The outdoor patio at this location runs louder and later than the Nob Hill spot, so expect the crowd to lean into it. A ticket link exists but admission...

  • Gym Rave: Secret Dubstep & Hard Techno Lineup

    United Fit Heights
    electronicDetails

    United Fit Heights hosts a secret-lineup bass night spanning dubstep, hard techno, and industrial, which is a genre spread that promises a room running loud and physical all night. The lineup is deliberately withheld, so the ticket link is your only source for confirmed artists and, critically, a verified start time, since 9 PM is...

    UNM AreaelectronicDetails

    Haus Of Devotion comes down from Denver for a set that moves through jungle, Afro house, Amapiano, and drum & bass, with local openers Kandi Kitty and Feral Skunk warming the floor before them. Gaia's kava bar setup means the room runs sober-friendly by default, which tends to make dancers more committed and the floor...

  • 80s Dance Party

    Albuquerque Nuevo Teatro
    danceTickets

    Albuquerque Nuevo Teatro is stepping outside its usual theatrical programming for a late-night 80s dance party on the Central corridor. The theater format means a proper stage and sightlines you won't get in a typical bar setup, which tends to make the whole thing feel a little more like a show and a little less...

  • Wax Motif & VNSSA at NHCC Barelas

    NHCC National Hispanic Cultural Center
    Barelaslate-nightDetails

    Three names from the heavier end of house music, Wax Motif and VNSSA in particular having built real momentum on the festival circuit, playing a venue better known for visual art and cultural programming than for DJ sets. The NHCC's event spaces can work well for this kind of show when production is dialed in,...

  • DJ B3nzlow at Gaia’s Kava Root

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM AreaDJ setDetails

    DJ B3nzlow takes over Gaia's with a set built around Mac Miller, Lil Wayne, and Ariana Grande, the kind of playlist that works because those artists actually share listeners, not just a genre label. Gaia's runs on kava and kratom instead of alcohol, so the room tends to stay loose and social without tipping into...

  • 505 Junglists REWIND Drum & Bass

    The Lab At Stardust
    electronicTickets

    505 Junglists are throwing a late-night drum and bass session at The Lab, running from midnight into the early morning hours on a Saturday night into Sunday. The Lab is a small, no-frills room on Central that tends to hit harder than its square footage suggests, which works in a 170 BPM genre's favor. Tickets...

  • NITE with DJ Ren + Moonside

    Inside Out
    DowntownelectronicTickets

    Two DJs, one late-night set at Insideout, running from what is effectively 9 p.m. Wednesday local time through 6 a.m. Thursday morning once you convert from UTC. Insideout is a small room on Central, which means the sound hits differently than it would in a warehouse, so expect it to feel immediate and a little...
