A-Trak vs DJ Mehdi, Sugarbeat/Clash!, Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh, 26 Oct

Cab Vol's monthly funk-fest Sugarbeat has got an amazing back-to-back session planned for October, featuring special guests A-Track and DJ Mehdi (along with residents Utah Saints, Smokey and the Bandit and the Clash! DJs). Suagarbeat blends old-skool hip hip with funk, breaks, beats, electro and soul, and this night looks set to be another stormer. A-Trak is the youngest ever DMC world champion, and his live sets have been described as "bridging the gap between boundary-pushing turntablism and debauched party-rocking," alongside his signature comedic comments on the mic. Parisian DJ Mehdi promises to fill the floor with legendary old-skool hip-hop beats mixed with the sharpest electro-house. This is an unmissable night, and a must for all hip-hip aficionados.
