Friday, May 8 at Left Bank splits its energy between two distinct programs. Space One hosts Mass Psychosis, a collaborative project between drag houses House of Venus and House of Ninja Li, bringing a drag showcase with local queens and special guests from Yerevan alongside DJ sets. Outdoors runs a separate arc. Nika J, whose years directing 4GB Festival shaped Georgia's electronic music landscape from the ground up, opens the outdoor stage. Giorgi Pipia carries the momentum through his Rinse FM-informed selections that search across cultural borders. NIKKOL takes the late shift with a house and trance vocabulary rooted in 90s rawness, his sets blurring hypnotic basslines with trippy, forward-driving grooves.

The May 9 edition of Free Saturdays at Left Bank opens Space One with selectors before midnight moves attention to Outdoors. Gio Shengelia and Ash Scholem go back-to-back, combining a pioneering presence in Georgian electronic music since the early 2000s with over a decade of rare-find curation. Optikall, Bass Commander's house-leaning alias, steers the outdoor program toward a different register, trading the Fear No System label's harder edge for warmer, groove-led territory.
