Desert Storm Soundsystem, Soundhaus, Glasgow, 22 Mar

The Desert Storm Soundsystem is one of Glasgow's oldest purveyors of bad-ass underground techno, supplying the high since the beginning of the nineties. As they grew from tunnel parties, they became involved with Reclaim the Streets, travelling around Britain with a rig and ending up at the criminal justice rally in London, 1994. They even exported their sounds to Sarajevo as part of an aid convoy, ending up staying on the continent and playing round the circuit. They are now back, and they are taking over the Soundhaus. A friend of the system sadly died last September, and the rest of the team are planning on celebrating her life in style. With acts from all over Europe and some serious local talent, this looks likely to be a blast from the past party. [James Blake]
