A selective guide to who's spinning what and where.

HARMONY (weekly) (deep house) (house) (trip-hop) @ Aqualounge w/ King Britt and Rob Life, $5. The Ovum bad boy is a knowledgeable tastemaker and has always been about eclecticism through a genuine passion for music-- fusing house, hip-hop, acid jazz, funk, soul, and electronic pop. Early Philly house-heads would loyally attend his now-legendary Back 2 Basics parties at Silk City in the early 90s. By 1995, King Britt was using the name Scuba as his house moniker. The Philadelphia house veteran and worldwide icon celebrates the release of his new CD, Hidden Treasures (Om Records) -- a soothing collection of subterranean textures and deep, warm, sensual rhythms -- a collection of classic remixes of Scuba tracks by 4 Hero, Vikter Duplaix, Ski, I:Cube, Fantastic Plastic Machine and others. Britt and Life have been dishing out a diverse mix of soul-stricken, jazz-fused, booty-shakin tunes every Thursday at Aqua for several months already. If you havent been to Harmony yet, theres nothing quite like soaking in the spiritual, heart-pumpin sounds of the house-legend in such an intimate setting -- up close and personal -- where you can actually FEEL the rhythm. For this night, there will be CD giveaways and drink specials.
