Butter Side Up 6th birthday
Wire, 14 Oct, 11pm, £9
Leeds crew Butter Side Up celebrate their sixth year in the game this autumn, and to help raise a glass (and the roof) they've brought in Swiss DJ Sonja Moonear, one of the stars of the minimal techno scene. Fresh off the back of a string of dates in Ibiza, no doubt Moonear's intense yet playful upper-register sound will be chiselled to precision. She'll be playing a four-hour set with support from Butter resident Hamish Cole.
