Sts & Mate Mind Present the Portland Connection

Drag roulette meets live mixing in this high-stakes showdown between divas and a DJ. Act One is all theirs—divas pick their songs and own the stage. Act Two flips the script: the DJ chooses from three preselected tracks for each performer while mixing it live, and the divas have to make it work. It's improv, it's unpredictable, and it's the kind of chaotic energy that makes for the best nights.

A night of fresh local talent across drag, pole dance, and burlesque — nine performers bringing different energies to the Cherry stage at Kremwerk. New acts, new faces, and an emcee in Lavender l'Estrange who knows how to keep the night moving. Friday night at 7:30pm is the perfect time to catch artists you haven't seen before.

Four vinyl selectors, two back-to-back pairings, four hours of underground house and electronic music that lives in the space where jazz chords, funky sub bass, and forward-thinking grooves collide. Bobby Ghanoush and Noah Coinflip's residency gets special this month — Carranza joins Noah, Al.flot joins Bobby, and the Timbre Room becomes the place to be for anyone who knows the difference between a drop and a moment.

Locked Groove is four hours of hardgroove, breaks, and techno designed to keep you moving from 10pm until the early morning. DJ SMOKE and LADEY-J are taking you deep into underground club culture with warping basslines and pumping drums that spiral into pure euphoria. This is the kind of night that reminds you why Kremwerk's dance floors exist.

La Krem spotlights the next generation of dance music talent from LA and beyond. This month's lineup brings three forward-thinking electronic producers to Cherry for a night of innovative house and dance sounds. Akumen, Andy Oro, and CTRL.MP3 represent the future of the PNW dance scene and beyond.

D'Mon's 27th birthday bash brings together some of Seattle's finest drag performers—ISSA MAN, TOMMIE DARLING, CAMERO, PUPUSA, DUCKHUNT, PIXIE, and D'MON—for a night that's equal parts celebration and community care. All door sales go directly to DJ Pepp3r4nne, a beloved Black trans community member facing eviction. Come for the performances, stay for the cause, and help support one of our own.
