    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    505 Junglist is back with a six-DJ drum and bass showcase, putting Syndicrypt, Halfblud, MS Vicious, DNDY, MYDNYTE, and Jayzo G on the same bill at Insideout. This is Albuquerque's most consistent jungle and DnB crew doing what they do on home turf, and the room at Insideout is small enough that the bass actually...

    Four local and regional heavy bands stack a Friday night at the Mezzanine, which sits above El Rey's main floor and runs tighter and louder than most rooms its size....

  • DANSYN at Effex Nightclub

    Effex
    DowntownclubTickets

    Mr. AfterHours Presents drops DANSYN into Effex for a WHF 360° night, which means the production gets the full room treatment rather than a stage-and-crowd setup. Effex runs late and the crowd arrives later, so if you show up before midnight you will be standing in a very different room than the one this is...

  • Ship Wrek Block Party

    Hollow Spirits Distillery
    Downtownblock partyTickets

    Ship Wrek, the Canadian electronic duo with a following that tends to show up in force, headlines this outdoor block party running from 10:30 PM to 6 AM on 1st Street in front of Hollow Spirits Distillery. The street closure format means this spills well past the distillery's usual footprint, which changes the crowd density...

    Downtowndance floorTickets

    Effex throws its annual summer Halloween party, which means costumes, a late crowd, and a dance floor that doesn't get moving until well past midnight. This is one of the few events on the corridor that genuinely runs until nearly sunrise, so plan your Saturday accordingly. Tickets are listed on Eventbrite; admission details are not...

  • Nud-i-Tease Burlesque at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    DowntownadultTickets

    High Desert Heatwave's burlesque showcase takes over Launchpad for a late Saturday night run of striptease-informed performance art, the kind of show that leans more theatrical than titillating and rewards an audience that shows up ready to be in on the joke. Launchpad is a rock venue at its bones, which means the sightlines from...

  • Carma 3-Year Anniversary Party Downtown

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    Carma, one of the more quietly consistent electronic promoters working Albuquerque's late-night circuit, throws its third anniversary with a four-act lineup that spans Burn the Disco, Thot Daughter, Wyatt Lawson, and Mattice. Insideout runs small and close, which means the sound hits harder than you'd expect and personal space is a negotiation. This one starts...
