Thursday night sees Terrace playing host to the electro-rap duo Dark Party, made up of DJs Eliot Lipp and Leo123. The pair describes its music rather bluntly as “Club / Club / Club,” and a quick listen to its MySpace confirms the tag — expect head-bobbing rhythms and eardrum-pounding beats, as well as a few classic hip-hop samples thrown in amid the chaos.

He actually played at the club last semester, delivering a strong opening set for the electronic wizard Nosaj Thing.
Saturday switches up the tempo with a performance from highly acclaimed experimental rockers The Books.

The Texan duo Lymbyc System will be opening for The Books, setting the tone with layered and dreamy electronic textures.
