It may seem unbelievable, but the silly season has kicked off, with tinsel-enhanced gatherings already taking place around town. For those who want to hold off on the mulled wine and turkey for a while longer, there are plenty of tinsel-less affairs where you can get down and dirty.
If getting tribal is more your thing, another woman - DJ Solange - will be pumping out the beats around town. Chicago's rising star joins forces with home-town stalwart Mark Almaria to pound Hongkongers with all their US know-how. Twenty-one-year-old Solange (aka Dani Deahl) has worked with some big names, including Eminem DJ Green Lantern and DJ Funk, and brings with her drummers Ben Holt and Marvin Marzocco for extra djembe power. This promises to be tribal house at its frenzied best. Tomorrow, 11pm-6am. 1/F, Queen's Theatre, Theatre Lane, Central, tel: 2522 7773. Tickets $120 advance, $160 at the door.
Homegrown favourites Frankie Lam, Ladystar, Jason F and Mooney promise to spin some sweat-inducing tracks in an evening enticingly named Twisted - Beats, Boys & Broads. There are no excuses not to hit the dance floor, with the DJs offering house, tribal, progressive and breakbeat mixes. Tomorrow, 11pm-6am. 3/F, Club DRC, The Emperor Hotel, 1 Wang Tak St, Happy Valley. Tickets $120. Tel: 6135 7910

Area, 28 Gough Street, Central. Free.
