FOURTHCITY EXPERIMENT #4
The Fourthcity art collective is taking its party out of the sea of Adidas track tops and derbies and into the land of Chuck Taylors and rock pins.

DRUM & BASS SESSION 3.0
Can you believe that this is the third installment of this party already? Seattle is still throwing the best drum 'n' bass events on the West Coast, bringing in top-shelf talent. This month Total Science from the UK is on deck, along with Nitsuj, the Atom, and Theory & Rama. Hosted by MC Sage. Noiselab, 925 E Pike St, 323-2189, 9 pm-2 am, 18+, $18/$15 presale.

ROBO.TRASH
This is still the night to git yer fix of crazy laptop, DJ, and live PA talent--a roundtable of technological artistry, if you will, a meeting of the digital-media-inclined minds. Come down and see some of Seattle's most forward-thinking musicians fuck shit up! With the ROBO.trash residents. Alibi Room, 85 Pike St, 623-3180, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, free.
TUESDAY JULY 29
POLYGRAPHIC
This is in a coffee shop--but so what, some people like to get jacked on substances other than Red Bull and Jaeger! Also, Aurafice is still the best place to catch some of your favorite local electronic artists playing live PA and laptop sets in a properly intimate setting. Tonight Jerry Abstract (who, along with Jim Woodring, is another proud Seattle artist contributing to Kid Robot, the new-school 3D-art/toy store in San Francisco) plays an experimental ambient set that should go well with chamomile tea, or a couple of triple short lattes. Aurafice, 616 E Pine St, 860-9977, 9 pm-2 am, all ages, free.
WEDNESDAY JULY 30
THE RETURN OF MAKE-OUT
This is the return of the only night "by the ladies, for the ladies," which I think translates into: "Hey guy, if you come in here, don't be an asshole!" Beats by Naha, Lil' Mz Booty, Amateur Youth, and Master Stan. Baltic Room, 1207 Pine St, 625-4444, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, $5.
