Friday Apr 25 (9pm–1am)
It's no secret that Flavorpill loves Ghostly International's marquee artist Matthew Dear — readers may recall a storming DJ set at another massive museum party we threw a few years back — and he's poised to bring similarly bass-heavy techno to our next One Step Beyond. Dear's recent sets weave melancholic arch-pop accents from his latest full-length, Asa Breed, and warm, punchy house music into a fluid, hard-driving mix. Dear's expansive style should resonate nicely in the Museum's Hall of the Universe, or what NPR recently described as "Guggenheim mashed into the Death Star." Like-minded DJ Ambivalent — off Richie Hawtin's M_NUS label — opens the night, along with visuals by Fuevoz and planetarium screenings.
