P-Thugg (Patrick Gemayel) and Dave 1 (David Macklovitch) make some of the most entertaining music on the scene today. Hailing from Montreal, Quebec, the duo met as childhood friends, and share an encyclopedic knowledge of the rap game.

Supertonic and Hub Media want to get down and celebrate summer with you. Most importantly, we want to celebrate you, Boston. This Thursday at Enormous Room, we have curated a night full of some of our favorite Boston artists to say thank you for all the continued support of our site’s mission: supporting local arts & entertainment! A live show from Dirty Dishes will be sandwiched between DJ sets from Bodega Girls, Leisure, Gentleman Hall and The Wandas.

A friend recently said, “I’ll put up with a humid, hot Boston summer day for a Boston summer night anytime.” So true, so true. The city has emptied out and now is the time to sample the best of Boston nightlife. And, the best part is, even though the streets aren’t crowded with co-eds, the clubs and bars of Boston are still jam-packed with the sounds and sights of the best the city has to offer.

Joshua Decosta, better known as local rapper HW, first got his start in his hometown of Fall River. “I started when I was 14. I was heavy into rap–bad rap. A lot of Insane Clown Posse,” he admits. “I started trying to make rap songs and they were terrible. I listen to the recordings when I feel bad about where I am now.”

When you hear Camden play with one another, this seminal connection rings true in every note they play. Taking production styling of artists such as Caribou and Passion Pit, and incorporating song forms that could be translated into the likes of Modest Mouse, and even the Smashing Pumpkins, the result is a heavy hearted, yet relentlessly optimistic release entitled Vale EP.

Man, the week after July 4th is pretty rough. All those cookouts, fireworks, drinky fun times with good friends and summer night breezes to make it all so perfect, and then back to work. WAIT– not so fast there, friend!

El Bugalu Beat Train, born Ari Rosenfield, is a self-professed “one man DJ collective.” Beat Train got his start crafting dance nights like Mambo Beat Club and Cheap Thrills a Go-Go for mod kids with a hankering for all things retro.

Oranjuly’s debut album could not be coming at a better time. I just can’t think of a better soundtrack to a July 4th barbecue.

Coming to help you work it out, may we present The Fire and Reason, electro/baile-funk/dance carnival from New York. The easy-on-the-eyes duo are coming to Boston for a performance with Bodega Girls at Cool Ranch on June 30th. We got to drill them for a few tibdits of information before they make you dance. And dance you will.

At this point, you probably know that Tokyo Police Club are not Japanese. They’re actually Canadian (check out how they spell “Favourite Colour”), and made a pretty big name for themselves playing festivals like PopMontreal, Toronto’s Edgefest and Osheaga in Montreal in support of their breakout EP, the 16 minute long A Lesson In Crime.
