I’ll be trying to split my time between the following:

SING SING W/JUAN MACLEAN DJ SET, DJ MEL, FOURCOLORZACK, PRETTY TITTY

(War Room) Poor Juan Maclean. In the long shadow cast by charismatic DFA honcho James Murphy, the former Six Finger Satellite technician born John Maclean toils and dubs and discos in relative obscurity. But if he lacks Murphy’s profile, it’s certainly not for lack of talent. The Juan Maclean’s productions boast all the bass-and-drums beef typical of DFA joints, but they also delve deeper into classic Detroit electro and early acid house. His DJ sets dig deep too, unearthing the myriad influences so seamlessly synthesized on his slept-on debut album, Less Than Human. ERIC GRANDY

CLIPSE

(Neumo’s) Seven months is a long time in the quick-turning dog years of hiphop. In seven months, Clipse could’ve drowned in an avalanche of white powder and plastic dime bags, but instead they spent that time touring hard and working on a new mixtape, We Got it 4 Cheap Vol. 3. It was back in March that their show at Chop Suey proved that the Virginia Beach rap duo more than lives up to their humungous hype. Flexing hard in front of an audience of Seattle hiphop hardcores and all-over-printed hipsters, brothers Pusha T and Malice rocked tracks from their 2006 album Hell Hath No Fury at seismically banging levels. That was seven months ago—they should be even more off the Richter this time around. JONATHAN ZWICKEL

Dirty Projectors, YACHT

Dirty Projectors’ new album, Rise Above, begins with a fun premise: cover Black Flag’s Damaged (which main Projector Dave Longstreth hadn’t listened to since middle school) from memory. The result is acoustic and choral, a beautifully faded impression of a punk-rock classic. The Dirty Projectors’ set will be a pastel reverie; YACHT’s will be a hypercolor explosion: Wizard-spaz Jona Bechtolt will dance, sing, give some motivational speeches, and probably hug somebody.

THROW ME THE STATUE, THE CATCH, WALL PAPER, BLACK BEAR

(Comet) Throw Me the Statue and Black Bear both hail from the hive of creativity that is Baskerville Hill. The local record label/house/collective specializes in sweetly lo-fi bedroom pop, ranging from the Microphones-inspired four-track wanderings of Black Bear to the perfect, deceptively simple summer cruising rock of Throw Me the Statue. Black Bear’s The Cinnamon Phase is a serialized journey around and away from a fantastic Seattle haunted by lost loves and fond, faded memories. Throw Me the Statue’s Moonbeams is a diverse yet cohesive collection of unpolished pop gems. If Baskerville Hill were Seattle’s Elephant Six, and there’s every indication they could be, then Throw Me the Statue is their Of Montreal. ERIC GRANDY

Confidential to Kevin: I might be a little late getting up for that bike ride tomorrow.
