Paloucek and 13 Wolves play at Brick By Brick. Get your dance on with Bad Boy Bill & Richard Vission at Bang Bang; Deorro at Omnia; or the Oysterfest Afterparty: Dance Yourself Clean at Music Box.

Start your Saturday with the Vinyl Junkies Record Swap at the Casbah with special guest DJ Lol Tolhurst (the Cure).
