On Wednesday, April 22, Zach Velmer brings his rhythm-driven sound to ARORA for an intimate night of genre-blurring electronic music.
An Atlanta-born musician and creative, Velmer began playing drums at a young age and quickly developed a deep connection to rhythm. He’s best known as the drummer for Sound Tribe Sector 9 (STS9), where his style bridges electronic and acoustic worlds through intricate, layered percussion. His ability to build complex rhythms while keeping a steady, hypnotic groove has become a defining element of the band’s sound.
Outside of STS9, Velmer leans into DJing and sonic exploration. His solo sets are fluid and immersive, pulling from downtempo, house, and experimental electronic influences to create a dynamic, late-night atmosphere. It’s less about a fixed genre and more about the journey—something that feels especially at home in a space like ARORA.
Joining the bill is McNice, a North Carolina-based DJ known for turning any room into a full-on dancefloor. With roots in event production and a deep love for shared musical experiences, McNice blends psychedelic bass, electro-soul, hip-hop, R&B, and world influences into seamless, high-energy sets designed to keep the crowd moving.
An Intimate Night at ARORA
Located in the Warehouse District, ARORA has quickly built a reputation for curating forward-thinking electronic lineups in a more intimate setting. With its loft-style layout and focus on immersive sound, the venue offers a close-up experience that feels worlds away from larger stages.
For fans of STS9, electronic music lovers, or anyone drawn to rhythm-forward, genre-crossing sets, this is one midweek show worth stepping out for.
