DJ Zinc @ Everything Else Sucks, Korova Bar, 1 Aug

You know that when someone's been spoon-fed on acid house, stumbled through rave and hardcore, established themselves in jungle and breaks then truly rinsed the drum and bass world, when they then start to dabble in house, they're going to do it well.

DJ Zinc started out turning underground tunes into chart hits. His latest remix of La Roux's Bulletproof, quickly gathering an impressive amount of hype, does the opposite, reclaiming the pop hit from Radio One with hedonistic, bass-laden drops and house hooks.

For all his latest fidgety fun, though, you can still see why the emergent Aberdeen night has paired the drum and bass obsessive with Solid Steel's latest protege Boom Monk Ben, nabbing him between international dates in Cape Town and Toronto to ensure not a corner of the three-storey club is left unpenetrated by his trademark wobbling, threatening bass.

Run on 'an electro/fidget/bmore/house tip' for the past year, Everything Else Sucks has done everything in its power not to fall into the possible new-club-night manholes of either overambition or dullness by mixing local talent with hot names. Watch out for Shadow Dancer in October.
