Sosupersam, an artist as often found singing her tightly-crafted pop R&B as deejaying, heads up this edition of Elsewhere's new signature party series, Elseworld, alongside Warp Records vet Edgar. This series boasts a "vast psychedelic nightlife experience" replete with immersive lighting by designers Dave and Gabe and top-notch Funktion One audio.

Known by the nom de plume Caribou, esoteric electronica collagist Dan Snaith has an undeniable talent for spinning expansive, thoughtful records out of a sprawling range of electronic, hip-hop and pop elements, as on his upcoming Merge release, Suddenly.

The big man of big-room techno is back for one of his infrequent NYC gigs—two, in fact. On night one, he curates a festival-length all-star lineup, and on night two, takes to the desks with an equally vetted figure, Danny Tenaglia. We suggest getting down to his jacking sounds tonight, and calling in sick tomorrow.
