After signing a new deal with San Francisco’s Dark Entries Records, analog synth king Ortrotasce celebrates the release of his new, eight-track album Dispatches From Solitude, which could easily be a new wave album from the late-‘80s if you close your eyes and imagine you’re living in the Reagan years again.

An all-star lineup of DJs and producers—Brian Busto, Karl Jaims and Rat Galactic—opens, and vinyl copies will be for sale at The Nest this Friday too, so why not add some much-needed locally crafted jams to your wax collection?

Tickets for the Ortrotasce album release inside The Nest at St. Pete Brewing Company on Friday, June 28 are still available and start at $12.
