    TYNAN is one of the sharper names working the overlap between bass house and the heavier riddim and deathstep side of the spectrum, and this is a proper club night, not a festival side stage. Effex runs late and the sound system in that main room handles low-end well, which matters more than usual for...

    Inside Out
    DowntownDJ setTickets

    This one is built around the music videos, not just the songs, so expect the visuals to be half the show. Insideout is a small room, which means the dance floor gets warm fast and the energy tends to compound on itself once the crowd commits. Tickets are presale only, so show up without one...

    Saturday night tablao flamenco at Hotel Albuquerque, with guitar, song, and dance performed in one of the few dedicated flamenco formats in the state.
