It feels a little early for summertime nostalgia — we’ll save that for mid-January, thanks — but if aisles full of Christmas decorations weeks ahead of Thanksgiving already have you pining for warm-weather party jams, Shwayze celebrates the release of his second album Let it Beat tonight at Moon inside the Palms. He and Cisco Adler are there to do “Get U Home.” Settle in behind a Corona and a Daiquiri and dump some sand down your shorts for good measure.
