The Crystal Method/Orbital: Find your largest pair of pants, hair clips and anything you can attach that glows because the electronic spirit of dare-it-be-said “rave music” lands loudly in Edmonton Friday night.
Actually having a much larger historical footprint than that wee of moral panic over bleeps and bloops making kids dance and rub each other’s faces all night, Orbital’s Phil Hartnoll and Crystal Method’s Scott Kirkland have been blending art and science with their machines of dance since 1989 and 1993 respectively, so prepare to be moved by the masters.
“This is a DJ show where I will be playing some of my all-time favourite dance tracks,” explains U.K.’s Hartnoll of his half, “splattered with Orbital classics, some originals and some very special exclusive remixes — spanning a lifetime of dancing my arse off.”
See you there for this three-room event with seven more electronic acts, and please stay hydrated!

Not only is this deliciously Japanese with subtitles, but it’s also a rare 35 mm print of the film. Post about it online afterwards and see what comes back to haunt you!
Details: 6:30 p.m. Friday at Metro Cinema (8712 109 St.), $14 adult, $11 youth/student/senior
