elements - Nightshade & Dabu (Sonic Beating)

We are super thrilled to bring Nightshade back to the elements stage for her first appearance since the before times. The deep sub don Dabu (Sonic Beating) shares the bill for one deadly double header!

Opening set by elements residents Lenore & Mr. EyesLee. Cover $5 before 11pm then $10. Visuals tba

Nightshade emerged from the questionable liquids of the pre-social media NYC dance scene. Since then, she’s played everything from grimy warehouse basements to renegade forest raves to massive festivals, like Warped Tour, Burning Man, Love Parade, Firefly, Candyball, Whistle, elements, Therapy, and Transformus, among other gloriously unhinged dancefloors.

Her guest mixes have been featured on DNB Radio, Kind Radio, Bass Movement, State of the Art, Newy Bass Crew Series (AUS), and Radio Ninja. Some of them even on purpose.

Nightshade doesn’t color outside the lines; she just finds weirder crayons. Expect reckless deep DNB, liquid grooves, curious eastern scales, and unexpected remixes- all with a sly grin. From anthemic rollers to deep-cut oddities, her selections always land exactly where they should.

Officially Boston-based, unofficially wherever the subwoofer calls. Still underground. Still unpredictable. Still ruining shoes in the best way possible.

Dabu, no stranger to the elements stage, is sure to grace us with the hard-hitting basslines and driving rhythms that will keep the dancefloor nice and toasty!

A member of the Sonic Beating crew and a resident at Boston's first dubstep party, Bassic, Dabu's dnb sets always f-in hit and we have entrusted him with direct support for headliners like Gremlinz and DJ Dara.
