(For reasons why, see The Fader’s recent article ‘How N.A.A.F.I. Is Changing Party Culture By Ignoring All The Rules.’)

Mar 25: Trus’me
Trus’me is on a lifelong mission to learn and evolve. That might be the reason why the British DJ is constantly creating killer tunes. His tastes in music are about as diverse as it comes, but it is his personal interests in things like physics, space and all things sci-fi that make him a refreshingly eclectic artist. Believe it or not, it was these exact things that inspired his recent album Planet 4. He’ll be doing a vinyl-only show at Dada on Saturday night. Check out our interview with Trus'me here.
Sat Mar 25, 10pm-late; price TBD. Dada, see event listing.
