Read MoreLaidback Luke: Sunday ‘Cuse Concert
One of the foremost innovators of electro-house music, Laidback Luke is throwing an almost sold out show at The Westcott on Sunday, April 15th. I’m not going to try to convince you if you aren’t a fan of electro house. I’ll be the first to admit that while the genre is becoming mainstream in a big way, it’s not for everyone. What you should know is that Laidback Luke is absolutely huge in his genre and has made a career out of remixing elements of mainstream pop and producing a crossover that is more electro-house than pop.
Read Morebc Restaurant: A Guru Review
One Syracuse restaurant that’s been undergoing a bunch of changes lately is bc. From the revamped interior, new Fayette Street signage and tweaked menu to a new concept of identity–they’ve been hard at work.

For anyone stumbling over the name–as I’ll admit I was–it is in fact “subtract.” This Thursday, April 5th up and coming UK DJ/producer SBTRKT takes the stage at The Westcott Theater (where else?). Current listeners have already been won over by the music’s totally unique charms and blatant genius (got the album on repeat as I write this). It’s somewhat of a departure from the artists I’ve been writing about lately, and a show that you absolutely should not miss!

Coming this Thursday, March 8th to The Westcott Theater is the UKF Spring U.S. Tour. If you’re not sure exactly what that is, well I’ll tell you. It represents one of the few authentic British dubstep concert tours to enter the States. While artists like Skrillex are defining a new niche of dubstep and even mainstream pop artists are dipping into the sound, dubstep was actually born in the UK.
