Washington, DC natives Amulet are going west – Midwest! Join us for a night of dark music with Chicagoans Bellhead and the up-and-coming Indy band Until we are Dust.

***About the bands:***

AMULET
Washington, DC
Amulet is a dark romantic electro-rock band known for their powerful female vocals, bass-driven melodic music, and emotionally charged performances. With a unique blend of pounding electronic beats, ethereal melodies, and driving hard rock elements, Amulet captivates audiences with a sound that is intense and deeply personal. It is the kind of music that demands attention.

Fronted by the mesmerizing vocals of Stephanie Stryker and the music of multi-instrumentalist MJ Phoenix, the band’s music explores themes of love, loss, and the supernatural, weaving poetic lyrics with rich, atmospheric arrangements and powerful hooks.

Formed in the heart of the United States’ capital city, Amulet has built a loyal following with their magnetic live performances and immersive, dark aesthetic. Drawing influence from genres such as goth rock, dark wave, industrial metal, post-punk, hard rock, and even neo-folk, the band’s sound defies easy categorization, appealing to fans of both electronic and rock music.

The Young Dubliners

Tickets on sale Fri 11/15 at https://www.skeletix.com/3175-the-young-dubliners-the.../

After thirty years as one of the world’s leading Celtic Rock bands, The Young Dubliners have begun work on their tenth studio album (with longtime producer Irish-born Tim Boland) while still maintaining their busy tour schedule. They have returned to the road post-pandemic stronger than ever and determined to bring their fusion of Celtic and rock music to as many people as they can.

The band is Keith Roberts (vocals / guitar), Chas Waltz (Violin, keys, vocals), Justin Pecot (guitar, vocals), Dave Ingraham (drums) and Ethan Jones (bass guitar). With a batch of incredible new songs and an undeniable energy, the band is excited to bring their show to festivals, theaters and clubs around the world.
“We want to be the band who reminds the world how important a good gig can be to our sanity after what we’ve all been through,” says Roberts.

For only the second time the band is looking to its fans to finance the album instead of a traditional record company.
“The business has changed so much over our lifetime that it no longer makes sense for us to take money from a label and then owe it all back,” adds Roberts. “Making all our supporters co-producers is a far more rewarding way to make a record and allows us to maintain control all the way”.

The Young Dubliners have released nine albums to date. In recent years, the band has appeared twice on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, had songs featured in TV shows (Sons Of Anarchy, Human Target) and toured extensively as a headliner and as the opener for such a diverse list of artists as Collective Soul, Jethro Tull, Johnny Lang, Los Lobos and Chris Issak.

Although the Young Dubliners sound is most commonly called Celtic Rock, that label can often be misleading. The Irish influence is certainly there, but it’s not the only influence that bursts through on their albums or live shows. After all, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind.

“That was always the idea,” Roberts said. “The sound was intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though I am from Ireland, a lot of the music I listened to growing up wasn’t Irish at all, but when I got here, I got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish Music. In truth the Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American band members. Everyone writes now so you never know what you’ll end up with.”

Born and raised in the snowy city of Sapporo, Japan, and now residing in Austin, Texas, Qrion takes inspiration from the robust environments at her whim. Melancholic, wistful, and dancefloor-minded, Qrion’s sound is multi-layered in its approach. Ranging from supple, soft exploratory works to driving house, and soul-sampling groovers, her touch is light and playful – evoking memories and feelings through sound. From her long-running relationship with Anjunadeep to her remixes for the likes of Booka Shade, Röyksopp, CRi, and more, her productions have drawn acclaim across dance floors globally.

There’s a reason why she was named on Forbes Japan’s 30 Under 30 list: since the inception of her musical career, Qrion has become a staple on revered labels such as Anjunadeep, Last Night On Earth, Mad Decent, Ultra Music, and more. Her one-of-a-kind style has garnered support from BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard, and Pete Tong, and industry figures Anna Lunoe, Mall Grab, Todd Edwards, and Lane 8. Now, Qrion sets out on her second album tour “Under The Same Sky” across North America from January through March 2025.

PROGRESSION INDY PRESENTS DOSEM

This is a rescheduled date from Sep 27, 2024. All tickets purchased for original date will be valid for the new date.

Spanish DJ, producer and house music tastemaker Dosem brings us 'Answer' featuring Korean-American artist SOHMI. 'Answer' is the first single from his forthcoming album 'Desire', landing 30th August on Anjunadeep. Dosem will be making his Black Circle debut on Fri, Sep 27 to showcase his upcoming album.

Support by Cullen Cammack | Becca Brainz | Polychromatic

With a career spanning over 15 years, Marc Dosem released his debut album 'Parallel' in 2011 on former Hong Kong imprint Sino and first teamed up with Anjunadeep in 2018 on two-track single 'Not A Coincidence / Why Give Up Before We Try'. Known for his club anthems that have soundtracked late nights and early mornings on dancefloors around the world, Dosem has released on Toolroom, Armada, Purified and his own label Houstrike, alongside delivering remixes for the likes of Hot Since 82, Above & Beyond and Eli & Fur. He is also well known for his 2021 collaboration with Tinlicker, 'Hypnotised', which has racked up over 10 million streams across all platforms.

An artist who's always in demand, Dosem has already completed headline tours in Australia and the USA this year, and has recently played in London, Tokyo and his hometown of Girona. Alongside these appearances, Marc has appeared on festival stages at Ultra Miami, Sónar Festival, SXM Festival and Tomorrowland, and been supported by Boiler Room, who aired his set from Girona's Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya all the way back in 2017.

In the four years since his previous artist album 'Dream Decoder', Dosem has continued to finesse his signature blend of progressive and deep house designed to get people moving and bring crowds of like-minded music lovers together.

His new album, 'Desire', is heavily influenced by '90s progressive house and techno, and reflects their euphoric, deep, and atmospheric qualities through a modern lens. Across its twelve tracks, the LP explores themes of community, connection, and passion.

"'Desire' is my homage to and vision of progressive house, a genre that had a significant impact on me when I first started listening to electronic music. It is a return to my roots through an album that captures the experience of falling in love on a dancefloor, during the sunset of an eternal summer, where the rhythm grows like a wave until it reaches a climax of escapist euphoria; that magical moment of connection with oneself and with others. An album that blends emotion, rhythm, and passion. Desire is an emotion that contains those ingredients and is something profoundly human that moves us and drives us to act, an eternal vital rhythm that resonates with dance. A constant pulse that grows until it manifests a dream." - Marc Dosem

On first single 'Answer', Dosem pair's SOHMI's catchy vocal topline with a hard hitting bassline that would fit on a variety of dancefloors; the type of versatile production that showcases why he's been supported by artists as diverse as Hot Since 82, Gorgon City, and Adam Beyer. Other standouts include 'Ethernal', a collaboration with Anjunadeep favourite HANA on vocals, and high-energy club track 'Tranced House', which sit alongside deeper cuts including 'Cold Shores' featuring Carla Werner, 'Unjetlag' and 'Sensations'.
