GLASGOW
Numbers @ The Brunswick Hotel, Jan 12, £tbc
The French kings of booty - Goon & Koyote (Arcade Mode / Diamond Grills) fuse filth with dirty south, baltimore, miami bass, electro and techno at a pacey 170 bpm. Put yo' back into it!

Divine! @ The Vic Bar (Glasgow School of Art), Jan 13, £6 (£5 students)

Inner City Acid @ Soundhaus, Jan 13, £tbc
