Although it usually takes an hourlong drive to drag your ass all the way up to the Cowtown Event Venue in the Northwest Valley, EDM fans from across PHX will want to make the lengthy trek this weekend. That's only because DJ Sam Groove and the members of Hades Entertainment will be throwing the hellacious hootenanny known as Dirty Disco on Saturday, May 12, at the outdoor facility, 10402 West Carefree Highway in Peoria. Warbling dance tracks and energetic electronica will fill the air for 12 hours straight as DJs and EDM artists keep things going from dusk until dawn. The lineup includes a headlining appearance by San Francisco dubstepper iNexus (a.k.a. Tiago Nunez), as well as lengthy performances from Groove, techno fiend Brook B., psytrance mastermind Nick Synergy, drum 'n' bass whiz Matt Dunn, and others. House duo Turner and Heit will also cap things off with a special sunrise set. Gates open at 6 p.m. Tickets are $15 pre-sale, $20 at the event. See www.dirtydiscoaz.com.
