North Riverfront

A neighborhood in St. Louis

← All shows in St. Louis

North Riverfront runs from Adelaide Street south to Maline Creek north, with the Mississippi River forming its eastern edge, an industrial corridor that, traditionally had few late-night options, but has quietly developed a small electronic music footprint anchored by two venues on N. 2nd Street and N. Broadway. Mississippi Underground was built on the conviction that St. Louis deserved a world-class underground electronic music venue, and took a raw 10,000 sq ft warehouse in North Riverfront and transformed it into a purpose-built space with a sound system that rivals the best clubs in Europe and a lighting rig designed for immersion. Melodic bass, techno, and other electronic styles fill the room, and a recurring event called Materia, combining several local DJs into a collaborative rave, has gained prominence in the scene. Local promoters also use the hall for themed shows such as the quarterly techno bass series "Bass in Bloom." A short walk away, The Broadway Boat Bar is an affordable, multi-floor spot that hosts dubstep, techno, and house shows with a nautical-themed decor blending tropical Caribbean flair with contemporary design. The Materia rave was originally held at Broadway Boat Bar before quickly outgrowing its capacity, a telling sign of how this industrial riverfront stretch has become the center of St. Louis's underground electronic scene.
