Zutekh 8th birthday @ Hidden, 25 Feb
Zutekh still feels like one of the freshest nights on the scene, so it's hard to believe they're nudging a decade old. But eight they are, and they're celebrating in style by bringing in one of their long-loved regulars, Midland, ably supported by Amsterdam's Trouw club regular Job Jobse and word-of-mouth Hotflush Recordings talent Or:la. Finally, making his Zutekh debut is Mr Price of London/Bristol/Cardiff's Studio 89 party series. Hip hip! From 9pm, £15
