DC producer Lindsay Lowend, a member of Kastle’s Symbols label, was one of the many electronic artists announced for Lollapalooza this week. Whether or not you had plans to attend that festival though, you can catch him in NYC TONIGHT (3/28) at new-ish club Slake (251 W 31 St, formerly Rebel). Joining him at that show is UK house/garage/pop producer Shift K3Y and Cameron Kush. Tickets for that show are on sale now. Lindsay Lowend recently released the Wind Fish EP and remixed Anamanguchi’s “Prom Night.” Stream those, with Shift K3Y’s recent track “Touch,” below.

Also tonight is Jamie XX and John Talabot at Verboten; James K & Gobby‘s collaborative project SETH with Rioux and more at Silent Barn, and Midnight Magic at Cameo (tix).

Speaking of UK house/garage/pop, London duo Gorgon City operate in that realm as well. They’re planning on releasing their debut album on Virgin / EMI this year, but ahead of that they put out the single “Ready For Your Love” with vocals from Duke Dumont/Rudimental collaborator MNEK. You can check out the video for that below. (You also may remember they produced a recent Klaxons single.) They hit NYC’s Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday (3/29) with Kidnap Kid and Jonas Rathsman. Tickets are available.

Rhode Island IDM wizard The Range is also at Glasslands on Saturday.

Other dance stuff is coming up in NYC later in the year too. Detroit house producer Omar-S, still playing shows behind last year’s impressive Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself, returns to NYC to hit Glasslands on April 19 with Jay Simon and Steve Summers. Tickets are on sale.

UK IDM master James Holden, still going strong off last year’s excellent The Inheritors, plays a Bunker party at Output on April 26 with Bryan Kasenic, Timothy J Fairplay and Mike Servito. Tix available.
