Chicago’s Flosstradamus is comprised of Josh Young (a.k.a J2K) and Curt Cameruci (a.k.a Autobot), and the duo brings its exhilarating blend of beats to The Mohawk on the 22nd. Already veterans of many a festival such as Coachella, Pitchfork Music Festival, and yes, SXSW, Flosstradamus toured with Canadian retro-synth connoisseurs Chromeo in 2007. A healthy dose of hip hop and house music mashed up with rock and trance can be expected to power the dance party tonight.

Some other shows in town to get you through till Friday include The Bubbles (Read our album review here.) tomorrow night, also at The Mohawk, with Low Line Caller headlining. Frank Smith at the Hole in the Wall is an option close to UT Campus the same evening.

On Thursday, the Continental Club is home to pop nuggets from Grand Champeen and thunderous rock courtesy of Rockland Eagles, while Future Clouds and Radar at Stubb’s (Inside) is another choice show worth attending.

But this evening, dance away to Flosstradamus’ captivating concoctions (outside) at The Mohawk; local DJs Markus with a K and Abominatron get things rolling early and Richard Henry takes over (inside) for late night festivities.
