On Saturday, June 28, I’ll be DJing in the New Wave vs. Darkwave room for Klub Nocturno at Catch One (4067 Pico Blvd., Arlington Heights 90019). This is a full venue takeover, so there are five rooms for dancing, including Rock en Español vs. Cumbia, Deftones Night, Reggaeton and Banda vs. Quebraditas. Half of the profits will benefit families who have been impacted by ICE and tickets are going fast, so click this Dice link and get yours asap if you want to attend. This is a 21+ event and the party starts at 9:30 p.m.
Earlier on Saturday, Analog Outlaw Book and Record Fair is happening at 2220 Arts + Archives (2220 Beverly Blvd., Historic Filipinotown 90057) from noon until 5 p.m. I went to the first event last year and it was fantastic.
