Technically, the Ecstatic Music Festival gets under way next week, but it’s going to be hard to find a more ecstatic event than the January edition of the monthly One Step Beyond dance party at the American Museum of Natural History. Held in the Rose Center for Earth and Space, the festivities include drinks, dancing, live bands, and DJs beginning at 9:00, twenty-one and over only, please. The stars underneath the stars for Friday’s gathering are Brooklyn darlings Matt and Kim, who generally have about as much fun in their public performances as is legally and humanly possible. Although Matthew Johnson will not be behind the keyboards and Kimberly Schifino will not be at or on top of her drum kit, the Pratt pair will be manning the DJ table, blasting out hot sounds on a cool night. Also on the bill are twenty-one-year-old Dipset producer and MPC master AraabMUZIK; Nacey, known for his Nouveau Riche parties in DC; and One Step Beyond faves Activaire DJs.
