    Digable Planets, Riders Against the Storm, Adrian Quesada (DJ set) [garage]

    By now you probably know that music has always had a profound slot of importance in my life. I can mark time by what songs impacted me when. What I was doing. Who I was as a human. So, 1992. Me, a child of single digits absorbing sound like a tuning fork. I hear horns and a thrumming bass note. A dude with a voice that sounded like he just woke up chanting, “I’m cool like that. I’m cool like that.” Ladies and gentlemen, my introduction to hip-hop. The group? Digable Planets. This core memory alights the Empire Control Room stage, preceded by Austin legends and future Hall of Famers Riders Against the Storm. – Cy White

    Peel Dream Magazine, Dorio, Touch Girl Apple Blossom [inside]

    Krautrock, shoegaze, electronica, baroque pop – since 2018, Peel Dream Magazine has existed as a vehicle for Joseph Stevens’ various songwriting excursions. Out Sept. 4 via Topshelf Records, fourth LP Rose Main Reading Room lands somewhere in between these past experiments, as whimsical woodlands (“Dawn”) and hazy, tall-grass jaunts (“Central Park West”) coexist with churning, Stereolab-esque indie (“Wish You Well”) and otherwise upbeat, skittering percussion (“Lie in the Gutter”). On Sunday, Stevens previews his work alongside vocalist Olivia Babuka Black and multi-instrumentalist Ian Gibbs. Dorio and Touch Girl Apple Blossom lend local support. – Carys Anderson
