Jan 26, 2023

With another week rapidly drawing to a close, we’re packing in the musical delights required to fire up those weekend feelings early. From French producer Cezaire dreamily re-imagining New Jack Swing for the 21st century to Lisa LeBlanc’s muscular disco-punk workouts, we’re keeping it moving.

Plus, it’s always a thrill to occupy the same psychic space as electropop-spark-plugs Sylvan Esso. The duo of Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn are making MBE the place to be via choice cuts from Overmono, MUNA, and Mr. Twin Sister. Dig their scene now, and enter here to see them in action on Aug. 31 at their “favorite LA venue,” The Greek Theater.
