Philadelphia Weekly

City Bisco

For more than a decade, Philly’s own Disco Biscuits has effectively bridged the gap between improvisatory jams and electronic raves at the annual Camp Bisco in upstate New York, a festival that routinely draws tens of thousands to the largest dance party on the East Coast. This year, the band is curating a two-day urban counterpart in their home city, on the lush, sprawling grounds of the Mann Center. Day One showcases the M.I.A. mastermind, Major Lazer collaborator and producer of the moment known as Diplo, and Def Jux mainstay RJD2. Day Two brings in turntablist and DJ A-Trak. The Disco Biscuits will be, as usual, playing everywhere and with everyone, finding unexpected jointures between disparate genres of music. And you can fully expect that they’ll turn this bisco out. -Jennifer Kelly
