FLY 4th Birthday with Theo Kottis @ Cabaret Voltaire, Fri 24 Feb

Rounding out FLY's 4th birthday celebrations – which have taken the shape of four magic parties across the month of February – is Edinburgh's own Theo Kottis who'll be playing the good tunes at Cabaret Voltaire all night long. (£10)

Overground ft. Happa @ The Mash House, Fri 24 Feb

Rescheduled from last year, UK techno’s most promising innovator makes his Edinburgh debut at The Mash House this weekend. Having been surrounded by buzz since his early teens (the Leeds-born prodigy was receiving radio play from SWAMP81, 6 Music and XFM aged 14), Happa's trademark sound is rough, industrial-textured electronic music. He was playing some of the most high profile clubs in the world, such as Berghain, Corsica Studios, Trouw and Fabric before he was old enough to legally enter as a punter. Support from Wrisk and more to be announced. (£8/£9 OTD)

Pulse X Texture with UVB @ The Mash House, Sat 25 Feb

UVB is the pseudonym of French DJ and producer Sébastien Michel, who first started his production career in 2009, forming a studio partnership with Jean Redondo under the Daxyl alias. Since 2013, UVB has concentrated on his own techno project with a live set of his own productions, played across clubs in Berlin. (£8)
