This night will be another must see dance party at PopScene. UK’s Delphic have been blazing up the internets with buzz-worthy talk of their epic live performances. Doubt is prime example of Delphic’s blend of kinetic dance-pop introspection.
AND as you enjoy a night out partying, NYC’s The Hundred In The Handswill provide steamy sonic offerings, personifying electric opulence, keeping your body sweating to its inner metronome. Check out Pigeons, THITH’s spacey jam -that cuts no corners when delivering party friendly electro rhythms.
