The Vintage & Handmade Market Local sex boutique The Rubber Rose kicks off a new monthly club night at Kadan (4696 30th St.) on Sept. 7, charmingly titled "Homos, Hoochies & Hooligans." DJs at the inaugural party include quirky-house/ machine-funk masters and Robodisco alumni Mark E. Quark, Dr. Indulgent and Alex Villalobos. The event happens on the first Friday of each month.
On Sept. 15, the annual Earthdance celebration (www.earthdance.org) will take place in Balboa Park from noon until sunset. Conceived in 1996 by Australian-born artist and musician Chris Deckker, Earthdance was organized as a "vision to unite the whole world through the universal platform of dance and music." The event is now the biggest "global synchronized dance event," taking place in more than 300 locations worldwide. San Diego's Earthdance will feature three stages of DJs, including Heather, Andy Gomez, DJ IDeal, Alan B and Cullan. The climax will be "Prayer for Peace" at 4 p.m., which will happen simultaneously at every Earthdance location.
Chicago's electronic duo Walter Meego comes to The Casbah (2501 Kettner Blvd.) on Sept. 17 for a guaranteed sweat-your-ass-off show. With chilled-out dreamy beats and catchy rave-pop riffs, the Meego boys come across like the love children of Air and Daft Punk. Discerning electronic-music blogs like Music for Robots and Fluokids have been eating them up since they hit the scene in 2005, and their current tour with dance punks VHS or Beta is sure to garner loads of attention on the dance floor. Local DJs Kid Lightning and Corey Biggs open.
