Danse or Die/San Sebastian, 21st Century Sound, The Arches, Glasgow, 17 Aug

The Arches rota of club nights that broaden the clubbing experience beyond the single genre market is ever-growing and increasingly exciting. 21st Century Sound (now approaching its sixth month) is the newest addition, catering for a cross section of eclectic tastes in the "dance, punk rock, new rave vibe." Resident DJs open the evening on this slant, before handing over to the regular band appearance at the mid-section. In this case San Sebastian; an alt.rock band with a cavernous, creeping echo of noise capable of moments of the ethereal. The closing section of the evening either features a big name DJ (such a last month's set from New Order's Peter Hook) or, as is the case this month, a showcase of a breaking artist. Danse Or Die (previously Mach5) will bring the evening to a pinnacle with the electro-disco rock grooves of their "dance music with guitars", carrying the crowd into the wee hours with swagger and gusto.
