With two great out-of-town DJ guests coming to Balanca’s and the Jackpot Saturday, we’ve decided to cut this week’s Spin Cycle down the middle. First, Roy Davis Jr. (pictured) will get down in a cozy setting at the Jackpot with Lawrencian Alan Paul, celebrating Cicada Rhythm’s 10-year anniversary. Producer and DJ Davis is a Chicago house-music legend. The same night at Balanca’s, Misanthrop makes Kansas City one of his first-ever U.S. stops. Flying in from Germany, Misanthrop will bless (or terrorize) audience members with some of the most psychotic rhythms around. Along for this show are Pepe, J Fortune, Spider Bigger, Dylan Thomas and the Automatic Man. So wherever you choose to go Saturday, do like James Brown and make it funky.
