Music

Made Conference

For the fourth straight year,

hip-hop think tank MadeInThe -

DMV is hosting its Made Confer-

ence, a self-described “day of

service” t hat connects members

of the local rap, R&B and go-go

community with veterans from

across the entertainment, tech-

nology and business worlds.

This year’s lineup includes DJ

Quicksilva, DJ Flow and DJ

Heat; the minds behind Broccoli

City, No Kings and True Laurels;

up-and-coming musicians like

Lor Choc; and industry execs

like Modi Oyewole, the market-

ing director of Epic Records

(and co-founder of Trillectro).

This can’t-miss event for local

music obsessives is headlined by

living legend Te ddy Riley, the

creator of new jack swing. Satur-

day at 8 a.m. at DC Dream

Center. General admission is

free; VIP access is $100-$150.

Anna Meredith

You might not know her

name, but Anna Meredith

scored one o f the most terrifying

movie scenes i n recent h istory —

not something from “Get Out”

or “Midsommar,” but “Eighth

Grade.” As the protagonist

looked out on the slow-

motion nightmare of a middle

school pool party, Meredith’s

“Nautilus” blared, a bright and

brassy electronic composition

where hope mutates into some-

thing anxious and terrifying, its

notes and tension rising like

Captain Nemo’s submarine of

the same name breaching from

the depths. The former compos-

er in residence for the BBC

Scottish Symphony Orchestra

reaches similarly maximalist

heights across her s olo discogra-

phy. Thursday a t 8 p.m. a t Song-

byrd. $16-$18.

SOB x RBE

Great groups have a push-
and-pull dynamic that fuels cre-
ativity. That’s the case with SOB
x RBE, a trio from Vallejo, Calif.,
that makes supercharged West
Coast rap that swivels between
the streets and the function. On
any given track, DaBoii and
Slimmy B spit lyrics like they’re
running out of time, while
Yhung T.O. keeps his lines
smooth and his hooks smooth-
er. Although the group has been
plagued by rumors of a breakup
(they had already parted with
former member Lul G when he
was charged with murder last
year), they stood together on
the cover of a December album,
the title of which spells out their
MO: “Strictly Only Brothers.”
Friday at 7 p.m. at Union Stage.
$20-$25.

Boiler Room presents Hard
Dance x ROAM

Since 2010, Boiler Room has
been throwing dance parties
and beaming them across the
Internet, connecting under-
ground scenes from London to
L.A. and Lisbon to Lima. After
a 2019 visit, the platform re-
turns to the District and re-
teams with local party-starters
ROAM for another special
event. This time, the focus is
on the fast tempos, high ener-
gy and euphoric extremes of
“hard dance” music. DJing this
“worldwide hardcore rodeo” —
which won’t stop until sunrise
— will be Brooklyn-based
headliners Ty gapaw and Sa-
tronic alongside D.C. talents
Furtive, Gabberbitch69 and
Limitbreak!. Friday at 10 p.m.
at TBA (location will be sent to
ticket holders). $30.

4 concerts to catch

Gem Harris

Anna Meredith, the former composer in residence for the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, will
