MIXED GREENS
Mixed Greens host Tarek and his guest DJs bring a down-home basement feel to the Alibi Room's downstairs level. The space may be a little tight, but it's a consistent Friday-night spot if you wanna hear some solid beats ranging from downtempo to house. Alibi Room, 85 Pike St, 623-3180, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, free.
LIFE
Tonight Joshua (Tweekin, Naked Music) is gonna oil himself up and squeeze his way into the Baltic Room for a set of deep, soulful house. Residents Jon Lemmon and Jeromy Nail will also be there. Baltic Room, 1207 Pine St, 625-4444, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, $8.
FLAMMABLE
This is Seattle's perennial house night. If you wanna freak the dance floor, hear some chunky, ass-shakin', deep house--courtesy of Brian Lyons and guests--or just drink until you're hanging on to the carpet, this is the place. Re-bar, 1114 Howell St, 233-9873, 10 pm-2 am, 21+, $6.
INVOLUTION
Monday nights at Nation are still great for getting your groove on to hiphop, seeing some crazy shit on the dance floor, or just having a drink and telling the work week to bite the big one. Nation, 1921 Fifth Ave, 374-9492, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, $5.
PORTABLE GET-DOWN
This is a good night to check out what's happening in the outskirts of electronic music. Resident Bobby Karate plays squelching, pulsing glitch tracks that will either leave you writhing in ecstasy or running for another drink. If you're lucky, he'll slip into his alter ego, "Bobby Pronsato," and throw down a few tech-house cuts as well. Nation, 1921 Fifth Ave, 256-9667, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, free.
ROBO.TRASH
ROBO.trash and Tone Records will be hosting a free party in memory of 9/11. Detroit electro producer DJ Ectomorph will be spinning along with a live PA set from Module. To top it all off, this is also Tone's grand opening party. Baltic Room, 1207 Pine St, 625-4444, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, $8.
