Downtown Mill Valley, let’s dance!
DJ Yuka Yu will be spinning this Saturday from 9:30pm - 12:30am at Corner Bar. Hailing from Taipei, Taiwan, a city with a thriving nightlife that goes until the wee hours of the morning, Yuka grew up with the rise of the electronic music scene in Asia. Her musical style is influenced by Aphex Twin and Björk, and she likes 90’s acidic, psychedelic, and oriental rhythms. Her sets are a mix of genre-overlapping styles, telling a story and creating a formidable musical journey. Immersed in a multi-cultural and conflicted atmosphere, her experience in Eastern and Western cultures inspires her creation of music.
So bring your dancing shoes + party vibes!
No Cover Charge.
Get ready to party like it 1977!
