Over his career, Hutter has constructed a unique visual language of floral shapes and clean, repetitive forms created using drafting tools. His vocabulary conflates minimal and pop aesthetics with nostalgic languages of images and writings from textbooks and encyclopedias."

30. Ross From Friends Past Event Like List
    When Felix Weatherall’s electronic project surfaced a couple years back, it was highly on trend. A number of producers had been tearing up SoundCloud with hazy, nostalgic house music released under monikers that were either irreverent (DJ Boring, DJ Houseplants) or referenced ’90s ephemera (DJ Seinfeld). Now signed to beat-oriented label Brainfeeder, where his deep house is something of an outlier, Ross from Friends has grown up, gotten serious, and moved in with Rachel. Though it retains touches of trademark smooth-jazz saxophone, debut album Family Portrait is more purposeful than his early work, full of pared-down, heady house and techno made with the dancefloor in mind. ANDREW GOSPE

THURSDAY-FRIDAY

MUSIC

37. Nearly Dan Past Event Like List
    Steely Dan were one of the smartest bands to consistently rack up platinum records. They got away with singing blisteringly acerbic lyrics and executing complex key changes and tricky time signatures while accruing crazy air time on commercial radio, back when that meant something. So a band dedicated to paying tribute to Steely Dan has to be sharper than your typical homage outfit. Nearly Dan's 12 members (who've played with Ray Charles, the Four Tops, the Temptations, Gladys Knight, and, most importantly, Huey Lewis) are up to the task, interpreting the hits and deep cuts with a professionalism that would impress Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker's accountants.

     In celebration of National Coffee Day and the 25th anniversary of the enduringly popular '90s sitcom that launched a million copycat haircuts, the Lounge by AT&T will temporarily transform into a life-size replica of the famed TV hangout Central Perk—legendary orange couch included. The Rembrandts will be on hand to perform their theme song (you know the one) and other "Friends-related songs," and James Michel Tyler, who played the Central Perk manager Gunther, will host trivia. There's also "Phoebe’s Yellow Cab Escape Room" in a "fully functional taxicab," a Friends-themed karaoke booth, an interactive technology timeline tracking the changes in technology since the show, and coffee from the Lounge, managed by 2018 US Barista Champion Cole McBride.
