Boiler Room: Atlanta
ISSUE #248
Back in April, Underground Atlanta hosted an edition of the Boiler Room, the renowned U.K.–based DJ event series that highlights local and upcoming house, dub, techno, grime, hip hop, and ballroom artists for people to dance to and discover.
It was great, and that weekend I built a playlist of the setlist to send out before I had a better idea instead. Thankfully, I kept it in the back pocket for the dredges of the year, when it’s too hot to think and the triple-digit temperatures have made the whole country a boiler room. Did I plan it that way? Yes! I’m the reason it’s so hot out.
Enjoy these local Atlanta musicians that were featured on the lineup. Stay cool out there—all things must pass eventually.
For over two decades, Cabbagetown—also known as my neighborhood—has held an annual chili-eating festival in the first week of November. The chili bell rings at 12:30 sharp! You get to eat from as many homemade batches as you can reach before they run out. The Dixie cups end up stacking 20 or 30 high.
