Dunkelheit is the only European alternative music dance party in Washington, DC. Dunkelheit means darkness in German and it lives up to its name by featuring the best dark electro music from the other side of the Atlantic. Expect to hear industrial, goth, synthpop, EBM, IDM, metal, noise, techno, trance, and other experimental types of music to keep you dancing. Dunkelheit is a monthly event held every first Friday.

Come Celebrate Dunkelheits New Location!

Dunkelheit is now at 2010 Lounge.

This new venue boasts a large dance floor with spectacular lighting

plus a large bar with additional seating. The friendly bartenders are experienced and can satisfy your drinking needs. Drink prices are very reasonable: $6 rail drinks, $4 domestic beer, and

Zoot Woman established themselves early on as an electroclash force to be reckoned with. The band includes Adam and Johnny Blake and Stuart Price, who most may know as the driving force behind Madonna's Confessions on a Dancefloor album. Price and Adam Blake are also known as Paper Faces who scorched with remix of Felix Da Housecat, Scissor Sisters, Armand Van Helden, and Madonna's "Let It Will Be". Zoot Woman's 2009 album, Things Are What They Used To Be, features singles like "We Won't Break" (a rework of their 2007 single) and "Memory". It also included this energetic gem, "Just A Friend Of Mine". Melody runs rampant over the track, earning the genre application of "synthpop". Zoot Woman's male singer and indie swagger will allow this track to appeal to the mainstream naysayers and hipsters alike, while a shockingly loyal yet seductively aggressive remix by Chris Fraser will allow the track some room on your floors.

Pro-Jekt + Death Emitting Diode

The Trojan Rooms, Whitley Bay

£3

This gig will also be followed by Boneyard Rock Night - playing Rock, Metal, Goth and Alternative.

Pro-Jekt (http://www.myspace.com/projektband) played up here earlier this year, supporting Apoptygma Berzerk. Since then, they've released hotly-anticipated 3rd album 'Reign of Scars' (produced by Ade Fenton) and had a slight personnel change.

Musically - they should appeal to all kinds - they've fitted on bills comfortably alongside the likes of Deathstars and Mortiis.

Death Emitting Diode (http://www.myspace.com/deathemittingdiod..e) might live 30 odd miles away, but I'm still claiming them as 'local' (Hell - Newcastle is happy to claim Maximo Park as 'local' and they're from even further away) and they're among the best in local bands.

Debut album 'Welcome to the Machine' should be released around the time of this date - containing many of their live favourites, which blend a range of influences from 80s synthpop to future-pop with a to

Harrys Gym " spelled without an apostrophe - are Oslos answer to Blonde Redhead. The main driving force behind them is the multi-talented, delicately-voiced and increasingly confident Anne Lise Frkedal. Her restless nature allows her to also take up guitarist duties with fellow Norwegian hopefuls I Was King. Harrys Gyms bittersweet synthpop is packed with infectious melodic lines, hypnotic sequences and scholastic beats. ClashMusic met Anne Lise Frkedal and keyboardist Erlend Ringseth in a Dutch caf. Heres the lowdown. So guys, who is Harry and wheres the gym? Anne Lise Frkedal: I think we were kind of curious about that as well. There was a gym in Oslo next to our rehearsal room called Harrys Gym. But it was closed down. Erlend Ringseth: A really dodgy gym. We started imagining Harry being the owner of the place, just sitting there, not really working out that much. ALF: It seemed like a faade of other things going on in the background. ER: When we built the studio which our drummer runs no

The German synthpop act De/vision have parted ways with Drakkar's E-wave sublabel. Instead the band founded their very own record label, Popgefahr Records on which they will release their next album,...
