Darling Nikki began as house party at the loft of producers Lyra Wallace and Lydia Daniller but has expanded to a monthly gig at Slate Bar in the Mission. For an $8 cover you'll get sets from DJ Durt, DJ Andre and DJ Jibbz, who spin a crowd-pleasing mix of Top 40, hip-hop, and 80s music. The scene is early to mid-thirties, with the party starting at 8 pm, and those who don't feel like dancing can shoot some pool in the back. Check the Facebook page for upcoming dates.
