That’s right. This is the guy behind that 1999 EDM track that haunts you in your nightmares, “Darude Sandstorm.” Darude has won three Finnish Grammy Awards, and has remained cutting edge for decades thanks to his progressive sounds and techniques.

Doors open at 9 p.m.; 22757 Woodward Ave., Detroit; facebook.com/thegrasshopperunderground.com; Show is free before 10 p.m. with RSVP.
