Don't-miss parties this week:
Fri 8 Jul
Hustle x No Fakin' presents Amp Fiddler
with Yam Who & Phil Charnock
24 Kitchen Street, 8pm, £9/£12
It's a Liverpool first for Amp Fiddler, as Hustle and No Fakin' bring the Detroit native into town for his city debut. A chameleonic figure, Amp has shared stages with some of music's biggest icons over the last couple of decades; and while he's perhaps best known for his work with George Clinton's Parliament and Funkadelic projects, he's also worked with Was (Not Was) and the sadly departed Prince (sniff).
The man otherwise known as Joseph should turn Kitchen Street into a humid soup of soul, funk and sweat in no time – and there's a pre-party at Botanical Garden from 5pm too if you fancy.

mUmU sessions: Gary Beck & Lee Rands all night long
New Bird Street Warehouse, 29 Jul, 10pm, £13
Fewer than 50 tickets left for this at the time of publishing: the seventh #session from Liverpool crew mUmU brings Scottish techno head Gary Beck into line with mUmU co-conspirator Lee Rands, for six hours of proper hardcore stuff. Get a move on.
STATK present Adam Shelton & MR KS
New Bird Street Warehouse, 19 Aug, 7pm, £8/£12
One of the biggest nights in August comes courtesy of the STATK bunch, who take over the Botanical Garden from 7pm and continue through to 4am with One Records founder Adam Shelton. Promising a journey through several dimensions – check the Facebook page for specifics – this is your ideal warm-up for the impending bank holiday weekend.
Festival watch
Fewer than 150 weekend and 100 day tickets remain for Farr Festival (Hertfordshire, 14-16 Jul), which boasts Francis Inferno Orchestra, Helena Hauff, Moomin and lots more. Eyes to the fest's Facebook for final prep.
Keep an eye on bluedot festival (Jodrell Bank, 22-24 Jul), as well: worth the short jaunt to Cheshire for Ben UFO, Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve, George Fitzgerald and more all playing accompanied by a massive bloody telescope. And that's just for starters...
