We last heard from Karsh Kale (pronounced Kursh Kah-lay) with the release of Breathing Under Water, the talented producer/composer/percussionist's genre blending collaboration with Hindustani music's heir apparent, sitarist Anoushka Shankar. But apart from that recording, and a DJ set here and there at Science Club or Bossa, the District has not seen Kale perform in concert since 2003's Asian Massive tour. That will change on July 4, when the fireworks on the Mall will segue into sonic fireworks at the Rock and Roll Hotel for Return of the Asian Massive, and fans of the burgeoning global electronica scene should take note.

>> At the Velvet Lounge, four local hip-hop acts will be putting on a performance. Slated to appear are Dr. Beckett, The Package, Peace Justice (a.k.a. DJ Eurok) and DJ Provoke. Free, 9 p.m.

If DJ Rekha's set at the Black Cat in January is any indication, there is an unrequited demand for international dance music in the District. That event not only sold out, but people of all stripes were dancing to the same beat and the crowd reflected one of this city's greatest assets, its cultural and ethnic diversity. One can expect more of the same tomorrow night at Bohemian Caverns, where two of global electronica's most respected practitioners, Cheb i Sabbah (pictured right) and Janaka Selekta (pictured below), will be performing at Līv in an event dubbed Electroganic, whose proceeds will benefit Race Against Domestic Violence.
