FRIDAY
Alton Miller (Yoruba Soul Records / Detroit)
It’s not every day that a Detroit house music legend performs in a high-fidelity Portland listening room. Don’t miss your chance to catch a transportive four-hour set from Alton Miller, whose soul and funk-influenced house music has made a mark on the genre for over three decades. The storytelling DJ travels all over the world, collecting sounds and inspiration for his spiritual sets that gradually build in intensity and incorporate tracks from soul classics to deep house. Portland’s own genre-bending DJs Krista Basis and Phæjay kick off the extended evening with back-to-back sets. SHANNON LUBETICH
(Sonder Listening Bar, Hollywood District, $15-$25)
