    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.

    Downtownlate-nightTickets

    Brad Cole's Strange Mix nights have built a reputation on Downtown's late-night circuit for genuinely unpredictable programming, the kind of set where the genre doesn't matter as much as the energy in the room.
