Sizzling Summer EDM Events Worth Swooning Over

While my lack of a moderate glow (even a farmer’s tan!) may disagree, summer 2018 is almost upon us! In RI, this season always seems too short. That’s why now’s the time to make plans and purchase tickets for upcoming concerts and parties. In the world of local electronic dance music (EDM), there are four funky happenings on deck to mark your calendars and prep your outfits for.

First up, Freq Fridays (this year’s Motif Music Award’s “Best Club Night”) is coming back to Club Alchemy in Providence on Friday, June 1 for Tight Lock!!! Tight Crew vs Morlock Musik. Tight Crew (TC) DJs Keither Woods and Craig Symonds will join forces with Rob Rowman and DGB from Morlock Musik. Attendees can expect to hear both classic and original tunes ranging from dreamy techno to down-and-dirty hardstyle productions.

Speaking of Tight Crew, on Saturday, June 23, everyone’s favorite event production company will present Underground Sound Volume 2. This is a limited ticket event, and the title rings true. Details on the to-be-announced Smithfield location will be shared with ticket holders via email.  For now, just know that this BYOB party (for personal consumption only) will feature classic video games, a kandi-making area, and fresh fruit and bottled water.

Hopefully you’re good at making decisions, because that same night, veteran house music producer/ DJ DJ Dan will grace the stage at Fete for Blacklight Beach. This show promises two great themed rooms. Openers will include DJ DUPE, MFD, Jeff LeClair and HUGE. This event runs from 8pm to 2 am.

Conserve your kandi in August. On Thursday the 2nd, head back to Fete and experience Tight Crew’s Block Rockin Beats. If you plan on attending, you’d better buckle up! That’s because this block party rave will have indoor and outdoor stages, music, food, games and even rides! For more information on this or Underground Sound Volume 2, visit TightCrew.net
