Fall-Funkin’-Tastic EDM Events

Thank God (who IS a woman, BTW): This summer’s heat waves are behind us, and in their stead we’ve got a smorgasbord of smoking-hot electronic dance music events (and the return of pumpkin spice) to look forward to.

On Saturday, September 22, celebrate the autumnal equinox at Platforms Dance Club in Providence when Tight Crew presents Yoshi’s Island. Headlining DJs will include S3rl, an Australian happy hardcore spinner who last graced us with his presence during the Crew’s 2013 Mario Party Tour (and supposedly this is his last world tour). Besides getting down to dope music, partygoers can catch a thrill by watching daring fire performers or jumping in a bounce house! This is a limited capacity event, so get your tickets now!

Once you’ve recharged from that exciting experience, it’ll be time to return to Prov for another night of dirty dancing. On Friday, September 27, Israeli producer, DJ, singer-songwriter, rapper and all-around dubstep/trap king Borgore will play The Strand. He’s known for putting on electrifying live performances complete with inspired visuals and high-energy tracks. If you’re going to this one, be wary: You may lose your voice from all the screaming you’ll be doing when the bass drops … which happens frequently. If I had to pick one fall event among all of these that you “can’t” miss, it would be this one.

Finally, FMH will be the spot to be at on Thursday, November 1, when Vegas-based veteran electronic duo The Crystal Method will hit its stage. These guys helped pioneer the big beat genre, and their tunes are infectious. You’ll want to get there early, cause Big n’ Dope (AKA DJs Soappy and FiG) are opening, and their breaks, dubstep and drum and bass mixes are pretty fab as well.
