We feel like we may have been jinxing it by calling these the “last days of summer.” Like seriously, is it still 90 degrees outside?
Regardless of Mother Nature, the Fall Equinox is coming up next week, and our favorite annual fall events are coming back to the city. The craft beer festival Nola on Tap comes back to City Park this Saturday. The Second Annual Day of Yoga is the following day, and our National Fried Chicken Festival rocks all weekend long.
Check out these and some of our other favorite events in this week’s Weekend Guide. And for all our sakes, start doing your cold-er weather dances!

INFEKT
Christian Fial, better known as INFEKT has been producing since 2011 at the young age of 12, focusing on minimalistic, yet energetic basslines. His productions concentrate on the wonky, darker side of dubstep.�infektdubstep. He has released his music with the labels Disciple, Circus Records, NSD: Black Label, SMOG and much more. Which has gained support by numerous popular artists such as Kill The Noise, Cookie Monsta, Funtcase, 12th Planet etc. His previous live performances include sets at events like Drop In Bass, Night Grinderz, Havoc and Royal Bass. Be on the lookout as it’s rumored that INFEKT is spreading to North America.

MVRDA
Tommy Lee Ray, better known for his stage name “MVRDA” has accomplished more in his short few years on the scene then some do in a lifetime. Having played at the iconic “ANIMALZ” in Paris and has hit his second Australia tour, its became obvious that MVRDA is not messing around. His stage presence is energy packed and full of an arsenal of his own unreleased material and dubplates from big names from around the globe. MVRDA has seen releases on Disciple: Round Table and NSD: Black Label. He has collaborations with heavy hitters, Midnight Tyrannosaurus, Squnto, SampliFire, Code: Pandorum, Oolacile & Subject 31. It’s safe to say young MVRDA has a bright future ahead of him and he’s one to keep an eye out for in 2019.

SampliFire
Coming up in the dubstep game is significantly more difficult nowadays. Just ask Samy Beyou. Exposure for new talent isn’t nearly at the level that it used to be and in order to even squeeze into the outer edge of the genre’s spotlight, it requires an immense amount of effort. Luckily for Samplifre, it seems like an awful lot has been falling his way as of late. From big name artists rinsing out his originals, to collaborating with some of the most nefarious individuals that bass music has to offer, this budding beat-maker appears poised to make his presence felt worldwide. Armed with a distinct sound and a detectable thirst for carving up unsuspecting sets of speakers, the sky is far from the limit for this rapidly ascending musician, it’s merely the next stop on the elevator. Taking some time off from his master plan to conquer the dubstep universe, Samplifire recently sat down with us and dished out all the juicy details you’re dying to know.
