WEDNESDAY, JULY 10

SOULGLOW (weekly) (deep house) (house) (breaks) @ Filos w/ Q-Burns Abstract Message, Rob Paine and Willyum, n/c. Get ready for amid-week blowout featuring the smooth, deep, atmospheric, soul-laden, sunshine-driven funk-ola of Floridas Michael Donaldson (a.k.a. Q-Burns Abstract Message). With releases on Astralwerks and his own label, Eighth Dimension, the latest full-length by Q-Burns, Invisible Airline (featuring the soulful, enchanting voice of Lisa Shaw), showcases a new direction than his previous rave/club-friendly breaks and beats. Taking a classic approach as a producer, Q-Burns fuses organic and electronic elements -- making it difficult for the listener to place which is which (and keeping it pure). This yields a disc full of gut-wrenching pop jams. He rocked Silk City three years ago, and now hes back to dish out an intimate head trip at Filos -- the coziest DJ-joint in the South Street area. Plus, Worships Rob Paine and Willyum will dish out the deep, dubbed-out house to warm things up.
