Moombahton architects, Ugly Non DJs and vegan food

Our picks of this week's nightlife events

Nadastrom

You know you’ve officially made it when you come up with a new musical genre and it sticks. Moombahton is a sub-genre of electro dance music that the DJ / producer duo Dave Nada and Matt Nordstrom— known as Nadastrom—say they came up with “on the fly at a basement party by slowing Dutch house music down to the tempo of reggaeton,” according to their Facebook page. NPR, Spin, BBC Radio and others have covered the trend, and, locally, there’s even a monthly night called Bajaton that features DJs spinning moombahton mixes (the next one is Feb. 1 at El Dorado Cocktail Lounge). Get your moombahton on at 9 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14, at The Loft at UCSD with local electronic-music project Colour Vision and Michael's Volpato performing alongside Nadastrom. $12.

Here are a few more ways to cut loose this week:
