For those looking beyond the borders of AthFest’s blueprint, as well as subverting the usual guitar/bass/drums band formula, try tuning in, turning on and dropping by work.shop (160 Winston Dr.). Work.shop is quickly becoming the Classic City’s unofficial hub of late-night electronic music offerings, and it will be hosting WAV RAVE this Saturday. The impressive lineup of local artists includes Subdivision, a duo taking influence from Underground Resistance’s bandana-clad deliberate anonymity and crafting a live set built upon the bones of Detroit techno and acid house, while celebrating Eclipsed, a brand-new Bandcamp release at moonrobbers.bandcamp.com, recorded during an actual lunar eclipse. Also on the bill is trap/punk/dance-destruction duo Rauncher, featuring Al Daglis and Lauren Brenneman, who will be bringing their signature stew of bass-heavy beats, aggressive vocals and mind-melting visuals, while Wyatt Nicholson (performing solo as Other Voices, Other Rooms) will be providing his tribute to the analog days of ‘80s electro, featuring sequenced synths, drum machine and cassette-captured found-sound textures. DJ Low.Again will be filling the gaps between and after the live acts with a scintillating set of drum-n-bass selections to set you sailing. Wav on!
