While one Mike Huckabee had a rough turn at last night's GOP debate, an extremely different Mike Huckaby is likely to have a much better night on Saturday at Lot 613. The Detroit-based DJ and producer heads up a long bill of Motor City techno spliced with house, soul and disco from his student Kyle Hall and the residents of the party/promotion team States of Being.
Elsewhere and earlier, the noisy techno savant Raiz leads one of Friday's better underground bills, while L.A. beat-music maniac Gaslamp Killer heads to Costa Mesa's Wayfarer for a bill of his feverish, ever-more-musical mélanges of rap, dubstep and sound experiments.
