Though most of us associate late-night computer binges with long overdue term papers or unspeakable excursions into our Second Life, the nice folks at Apple computers are yet again making it okay to geek out.

They're introducing Midnight Mix, a five-part series of performances and DJ sets at the New York City Apple Store's Fifth Avenue location, where noted beatsmiths will keep bodies moving from midnight 'til two a.m. and, hopefully, not break anything of value.

Sure to heat up the summer like a fan-less MacBook left on overnight, shake-making sorts Diplo, Spank Rock, T&T (aka Tim Goldsworthy of the DFA and DFA associate / WNYU's Beats in Space host Tim Sweeney), and François K. Starting things off June 1 is, uh, that Mark Ronson character.

Midnight Mix:

06-01 Mark Ronson
06-15 François K
07-13 Diplo
08-03 T&T (Tim Goldsworthy and Tim Sweeney)
09-21 Spank Rock
