Hot Summer Nights w/ Fennec (DJ set) (midnight), Ruthie Craft (11:00), the Western Civilization (9:30), Ohms (8:30) [control room]

With temperatures soaring to the hundreds daily, Hot Summer Nights-goers can find their oasis in this eclectic mix at Empire – whether you want to dance the night away with the upbeat Kaytranada-esque dance music of Fennec, or indulge indie rock anthems from the Western Civilization and Ohms. For soulful pop, Ruthie Craft is the soloist to watch out for with recent single “Nineteen.” After heating up, make sure to cool down with some water and a quick listen to Fennec’s “If U Want (My Love).” – Adam Cherian
