Diesel, Motion, Blackfriars, Glasgow, 5 Oct

The launch of Motion sees Bios' Scott Fraser join forces with Under The Hood resident/promoter Danny Sharkey, showcasing the deeper side of house and techno. Motion's first guest is Diesel (X-Press 2, Yellow Sox), who as one third of X-Press 2, alongside Rocky and Ashley Beadle, was responsible for the classics Muzik Express, London Express, AC/DC and Lazy. Starting out in the mid-eighties playing jazz, latin and soul across London, he caught the house bug in '88, forming a DJ partnership with friend Rocky, the pair going on to make appearances at the legendary Boys Own parties and The Gardening Club. Having earned his spurs, he became a regular at Ministry Of Sound, Back 2 Basics and Cream (where he held a two year residency), going on to gain global guest slots. Diesel's other projects include DJ edit label, Moton, run alongside Dave Jarvis and solo work as Yellow Sox - his track Zig Zag is forthcoming on Freerange. Capacity at Blackfriars is only 160, so get down early![Colin Chapman]
