LONDON'S INFINITY INK LET THE GOOD TIMES (ADRIAN) ROWE

Seattle's Classcadia promoters are bringing in London duo Infinity Ink (Ali Love and Luca C), smooth operators in the realm of house and garage. This is summery, feel-good dance music with silky melodies, understatedly soulful vocals, and cushiony beats. Representing Bremerton, DJ/producer Adrian Rowe (aka the Googly) deftly works in several styles (techno, house, IDM, dubstep, glitch hop), balancing serious sound design with effective dance-floor tectonics. With Xan Lucero, Aarta, OFDM, and Polly. Neumos, 9 pm, $15 adv, 21+.

SUNDAY 6/23

PHARMAKON'S HELLTONES, LUST FOR YOUTH'S COLD-WAVE ANOMIE

Pharmakon (Margaret Chardiet) is perhaps the most extreme artist on the burgeoning New York label Sacred Bones. Her stock in trade is sheer hellish noise miasma, but rendered with acute attention to dynamics and texture, and topped off with screams that out-agonize the late Sam Kinison's. Unfortunately, her internet presence is scant, and I haven't been able to obtain her 2013 LP Abandon, but what I've heard of Pharmakon's music has made my cells revolt (always a good sign). And "Crawling on Bruised Knees" sounds like the greatest homage to Throbbing Gristle's "Discipline" ever. Swedish/Danish duo Lust for Youth are in thrall to early-'80s cold-/minimal-wave music and convey their fanaticism for that era's sleet-slashed synthesizers with aplomb and suitably anomic male vocals. With Grave Babies and Perpetual Ritual. Narwhal/Unicorn, 9 pm, $7, 21+.

IT IS RAIN IN MY FACE AND PRESSED AND FOLK UP THE NIGHT BUS

Pressed And have one of the worst names in the music biz, but their output is sweet. The Brooklyn/Chapel Hill duo of Mat Jones and Andrew Hamlet operate in the crowded zone where chill electronic music intersects with folk-leaning pop, with tangential ties to the night bus subgenre. There are acres of bland stuff like this out there now, but Pressed And stand out by sheer dint of their gorgeous, soul-stirring melodies, vividly muted guitar coloration, and distinctive vocal styles. Check out their new album on Mush Records, Stone Candles, for proof. It Is Rain in My Face is Jones's solo project, and it's a slightly more intimate iteration of the Pressed And sound: a hushed, burnished folktronica that imagines what Cat Stevens would sound like if he recorded for Captured Tracks. Rendezvous, 9 pm, 21+.
