December 9, 2019 | It’s time for another edition of Deep South Dance, your latest on everything dance music related in New Orleans. It’s officially the holiday season in New Orleans, and while the weeks around Christmas may be a bit slow, we have some awesome New Years events coming up on the horizon. Here’s your latest bi-weekly roundup…
Shpongle returned to New Orleans with a live set at the Joy Theatre. His set was – per usual – a psychedelic spectacle. Goopsteppa and Kalya Scintilla prepped the crowd with their own impressive sets, making it a nearly six hour show. Afterwards, Russ Liquid and Thriftworks set off the afterparty and carried it late in to the night.
A few days later, Gryffin brought his debut album through the Joy for the Gravity II Tour. The annual Gobble Wobble changed venues for the year, and Loud Luxury headlined at the metro.
In other news, Zoolu also announced its 26th edition of Mardi Gras shows. Tiësto and DJ Diesel aka Shaquille O’Neal will headline the Metropolitan in February.
Here’s what’s coming up for us over the next two weeks.
