It’s a few months out, the openers haven’t been confirmed, and there’s really not much you can do now other than be pretty excited, but I was told last night of a great pair of shows coming through town in May, so I’m sharing the news.

For the house set, Luomo (born Sasu Ripatti) is going to be playing Oscillate on May 22nd at the Baltic Room. I still go gaga over The Present Lover, and his last performance here was a good time, so that should bring the techno and house heads together for a night. For those more inclined to the techno/glitch side of things, Ripatti is also going to be performing under his Vladislav Delay alias at Broadway Performance Hall, as part of some sort of multimedia extravaganza on the 24th. It should make a fitting sendoff for those headed to Detroit for the DEMF (where we’ve heard Luomo and/or Vladislav Delay will also be playing).
