DJ Brad Cole takes over Moonlight Lounge for Strange Mix, a late-night DJ set that runs from 9 PM to midnight on a Saturday in Downtown Albuquerque. The name is doing real work here: Cole's sets tend to move across genres without announcing the transitions, which either clicks for you immediately or it doesn't. Tickets...
The official afterparty for one of Albuquerque's longest-running tattoo conventions lands at Insideout with Speed One on the decks, running until 6 a.m. The crowd will be heavily tattooed, pleasantly wired, and not going home early, so if you are sensitive to either ink or late hours, recalibrate accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket,...
Mr. AfterHours Presents brings DJ Jenna Shaw to Effex for a late-night set that runs from 10 p.m. Saturday well into Sunday morning. Effex has one of the better sound systems on this stretch of Central, and the 360° format means the booth is centered in the room, so there is no bad spot on...
A DJ night built around Bad Bunny's catalog, from the early SoundCloud era through his stadium-pop years, held at Marble's Downtown taproom on Central. Marble's outdoor patio is one of the better places to dance in this corridor on a July night, assuming the weather cooperates, which in Albuquerque mid-summer it usually does. Admission is...

El Rey's interior already has a certain theatricality to it, so the beach-meets-goth concept lands better here than it would in a generic club. Doors are late...
Bourbon & Boots runs this recurring late-night set on Thursday, pulling from global sounds in a bar that leans country by day. The room shifts considerably after midnight, so arriving early means a quieter crowd and more floor space than you'll have by 1 a.m. A ticket link exists through Posh, though whether that means...
The 505 Junglists crew brings another REWIND installment to Inside Out, with Halfblud and MS Vicious handling jungle and drum and bass across the night. Inside Out runs small and close, which works in everyone's favor for music built around sub-bass you feel before you hear it. The listed 9 PM start time is a...
Five local acts share the Launchpad stage for a night built around the kind of sweaty, unapologetic summer energy the name promises. Launchpad runs late and the crowd tends to arrive late too, so the early slots on a bill like this are where you catch something before everyone else figures it out. Tickets are...
