Plan your weekend

Dance

Kill Paris The Skrillex-approved producer Corey Baker (aka Kill Paris) has a brand new LP to show off this go around, and while Galaxies Between Us does have a lot of the big drops we're all very accustomed to hearing in modern dance music, the 10-track effort also builds on Baker's affinity for working soulful passages and samples into his signature smooth attack. He even flirts with the world of ambient music on the atmospheric album. With Louis Futon, Dvnk Sinatrv, Christian Alexander open Friday with Louis Futon, Dvnk Sinatrv, Christian Alexander at 10 p.m. Amphitheatre Event Facility, 1609 E Seventh Ave., Ybor City. $10.
