Are you superstitious? Then stick with the usual M.O. for Friday the 13th, like being wary of ladders, black cats, shattered mirrors, kindly loan officers, etc. One thing you shouldn’t be afraid of, though, is dancing, and I can’t think of a better place to spend this particular Friday than at Re-Bar with DJ Riz (also of KEXP’s long-running show Expansions). Why? Not only has he commandeered the club’s Fridays since forever, and won Best DJ in SW’s readers’ poll numerous times, but the scene on this night is never dull. Riz plays deep, funky house but throws in whatever else he feels like, unconstrained by a ruling vibe. And Riz’s followers are passionate and varied. You’ll notice the same people doing their same weird dances week after week, each seemingly locked into their own groovy universe. That kind of reliable abandon is such an unusual clubland sight, every Friday there feels a little bit freaky.
