Elise LeGrow w/ Maylee Todd
While the five songs that comprise Elise LeGrow's current EP have a lot in common with some of today’s biggest pop tracks, her voice in particular carries hints of highly-revered female singers who’ve emerged each decade since the ‘50s – from Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone through to current contemporaries like Mariah Carey and Adele. The music may be in the same universe as some of today’s biggest pop stars, but she mixes her influences into something truly her own, and any one of these songs could be the next favorite for in-the-shower divas and closed-door dancers everywhere.
Joining Elise will be the dynamic Maylee Todd, whose music combines organic and electronic forms, including elements of boogie, bossa, space funk, psychedelia and soul.- Venue: Underground

Galapagos Presents: Ben UFO
Galapagos x Faktory x The Drake present...
BEN UFO is one of those rare breed of young DJs to make their name exclusively off DJing. You won't find a production anywhere to his name, yet Ben Thomson is at least as renowned as his producer counterparts in the Hessle Audio triumvirate, Pangaea and Pearson Sound. With his Rinse appearances being about the most universally lauded thing on the former London pirate next to Oneman's show, he's a DJ who can play sets composed entirely of classic house, vintage garage, OG dubstep or, of course, the kind of wildly careening dubplate-heavy set we expect from UK DJs on Rinse.
Support by SEAN ROMAN (My Favorite Robot, Hot Waves) & VLSONN (Sincerious, Stacked, TO).- Venue: Underground
