Rare MP3s, the collaborative digital label and now event production project from Noah Beresin (a.k.a. Noah Breakfast/Xaphoon Jones of Chiddy Bang) and Ryan Schwabe, will be throwing its first of what we are sure to be many ragers this evening at Kung Fu Necktie. They also brought along some of their talented pals like instant party-starter Spank Rock, “Harlem Shake”-famed Baauer, the glitched-out R&B sounds of Moon Bounce, Grave Goods, Dirty South Joe, and many others. It’s a stacked lineup of talented beatmakers all under one roof for your dancing pleasure. Enjoy! Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 9pm, $5, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
