Paul That Jazz

The sun rises, the sun sets, Paul Van Dyk tours the planet: three things a human being can always count on to stay the exact same. That's a comforting thought, ain't it? Well this German lynchpin of the global dance music empire is currently hop-scotching around the United States in support of the summer season and his own wanderlust, and there's no time like the present to get back in touch with this giant and the giant audio footprints he leaves in his wake. One of his current jaunt's many stops occurs Thursday, May 15th at The Forum in Charlotte, North Carolina, and capacity is never as infinite as Paul's following requires, so those interested are advised to make haste to the ticket box and throw some shillings at the attendant. A damn good time is guaranteed for all under The Forum's roof. This really truly ought to include you.

Old School to New School

Festival promoter Jason Jay knows what beats at the heart of any good party, so that's why every one he has a hand in ends up ruling with particular fervor. And right now Angelenos are lucky as heck cause they've got three uncut dope parties to set their sights/hang their hopes on, and there's no time like the present to get started. In short, there's The Kosmic Festival: Magic/Flash going down at the Hudson Theater and Gotham Club in San Bernardino on Saturday, August 16th, then there's Dirty at Safari Sam's in Hollywood on Wednesday, May 21st thrown with the help of Star Power Productions, and lastly there's Friday Night Massive at the Hudson Theater in San B-Dino on Friday, May 16th. Who says there ain't no cure for the summertime blues?

Ohana Luau

Some of us make enough green to jet to island paradises whenever our blood pressure gets a bit high, but for the rest of us there's Ohana. The massive life's-a-beach uber-rave is the Fourth Annual Luau in the ongoing Ohana legacy masterminded by So-Cal party gods, AMS. This year's installment shimmies to life on Saturday, May 10th, which gives you plenty of time to secure a radiantly colored Hawaiian shirt, a pair of busted flip-flops, and compile a solid list of “I got lei'd” puns/jokes. The performers list is as hard as a coconut falling on your head (and twice as sweet). Get away from it all to Gotham in sunny San Bernardino, California, and don't forget to pack your sunscreen.

Crunk Tank

Big shocker…NOT. Cinespace on Hollywood Blvd. is wrangling a pair of electro-crunk up-and-comers on to a bill of big names and bigger beats for a night that will be remembered vividly (despite whatever sheen of cocktails it's experienced through). Let's dive into some specifics. The night is called 3D, due to the fact that both headliners will be performing accompanied by three-dimensional digital visuals, and the big dogs are DJ Fashen and DJ Ooah. Legacy Entertainment is throwin' this shindig, and the date to save is Saturday, May 10th. Retro 3D glasses will be dispensed to all folks passing through the door so your electronic crunktastic night on the town is aptly all-too-real. Also spinning will be “IDM banger” RD, San Fran house legend Hil Huerta, local LA hip-hopper DJ Woool, Kawata, and possibly more. Feel it, live it.

Louder Than Bombs, Better Than Sex

Like the heat and the summer blockbusters, Los Angeles' most brazenly named uber-rave is BACK, this time for its sixth annual installment, and momentum is at a high. Thrown by the pros at Cosmic Events and taking place Saturday, July 12th at a sick TBA spot, Almost Better Than Sex 2008 comes packed with everything you'd expect, and a thousand things you'd want to expect but were too sane to realistically envision a festival pulling off. The performers at this year's nearly-superior-to-intercourse celebration are predictably massive and phenomenal, and any raver worth their glow-bracelet is essentially required to attend. Party rolls for nine hours and is all-ages, so bring the whole scene/family and prepare to rock your erogenous zones to high heaven.
