Red Bull Music Academy Weekender: Analog Room
The tagline says it all: “Four days, 30 artists, seven events, one city”. For the first time Dubai will host this four-day musical festival, which will take in a number of venues across the city. This, though, seems to be the pick of the lineup. It’s headlined by The Black Madonna – DJ and creative director at Smart Bar in Chicago. She will be joined by Moodymann, an innovative DJ and producer who has created a hybrid form of techno/house via the use of re-worked riffs, samples and grooves. Siamak Amidi and Shemroon complete the lineup.
When: Thursday, April 13, 9pm

Satori + Blond:ish
A compelling combination of psychedelic beats and world music-tinged electronica come to Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE for their next Friday session.
