Liquid Stranger, Space Jesus, Au5

Though he’s most often described as a dubstep act, DJ and producer Liquid Stranger exists on a nebulous sonic plane that defies easy categorization. His beats are designed to rock sweaty dance floors, but just beneath the surface of those pounding strains is an undercurrent of moody soulfulness and musical curiosity. As his name implies, his compositions are fluid and, yes, strange. Touring in support of his newly launched record label Wakaan, Liquid Stranger plays the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington on Saturday, January 30, with Space Jesus and Au5.
