If you've got the pre-North Coast shakes, there's a number of options this week that can hold you over until the 3-day fest kicks off this Friday. One option we're particularly excited for is this Thursday at Evil Olive, where Austin-based grime master Dubbel Dutch will spin some of the most fresh tunes for your yearning eardrums.

Dubbel Dutch is a fine extension of a sound the UK has been cultivating for the past few years. Big on the grime/house hybrid, the UK's musical exports remain some of the most forward-thinking examples of dance music. Where L-Vis 1990 and his Night Slugs crew have got the ball rolling, folks like Dubbel Dutch reinforce the transition into US dance culture. His set Thursday will surely be both cerebral and groovy, so get your footwork prepped before a nice holiday weekend.

Dubbel Dutch is Thursday, Evil Olive, 10pm
