The Dance Cartel has been throwing bizarro bacchanals of bass-heavy club music, video installations, turntablism and professional rump-shakin’ every month for the past couple years at the Ace Hotel in Manhattan. They’ve now taken their show, “OnTheFloor,” on the road, and tonight they match beats with Portland DJ Che Ros at SPACE Gallery (538 Congress St., Portland) at 8:30 p.m. Tix: $8-$10 (18+). 828-5600. space538.org.
