Detroit house legend Rick Wade and EDM star Carnage coming to Tampa Bay

St. Petersburg and Clearwater Beach scored the dance music shows of the week.

Miami Music Week residuals are finding their way to Tampa Bay on Friday, April 5, and Detroit scene staple Rick Wade (aka Big Daddy Rick, Dr. Low-Tech) is bringing his no-frills approach to house music to a St. Petersburg warehouse show at Morph that gets started early (a trio of DJs will play open-air sets starting at 6 p.m.) before Wade and Back Door Records’ Dsum run the party until 4 a.m.. You'll want to buy tickets for this one via residentadvisor.net.

While the Bootz N Catz crew is staging a Sunday, April 7 anniversary party, the only thing that might suck about it is that attendance there means you’re most likely going to miss a Shephard's Clearwater Beach set from Guatemalan-born dance music star Carnage, who is coming off of a mental health-related four-month hiatus from touring. GRAVEDGR, an unknown producer who may be Datsik or DrewFilament depending on which online threads you lurk, opens the show. Tickets are available via eventbrite.com.
