Glasgow Clubbing Highlights: 16-22 March

Artwork & Sub Club present Art's House @ Sub Club, Thu 16 Mar

He's been in the game since 1989, carving out a career in techno in the 90s and comprising one third of the dubstep supergroup Magnetic Man before making his name with the Art's House event series. After playing a blinding show with Denis Sulta at Subbie in December, Arthur Smith returns this week, bringing his notorious party starting ways back to Jamaica Street for his very own headline show (£8+bf).

Cooking with Palms Trax @ La Cheetah Club, Fri 17 Mar

Berlin-based producer and DJ Palms Trax (real name Jay Donaldson) has carved out a name for himself with his Detroit house-inspired workouts. His first record came out in 2013 on London-based imprint Lobster Theremin, and he’s since dropped further releases on the Dekmantel label, as well at notching up sets at the likes of Panorama Bar, Phonox and The Warehouse Project. This event kicks off a series of four shows that Donaldson will be curating at La Cheetah, and he's invited some of his favourite acts and good friends to join him throughout 2017. Don’t miss this Part 1 show, which will see him set out on a four-hour solo mission – sold out online, but there will be 80 tickets available OTD.

Code presents Truncate @ La Cheetah Club, Sat 18 Mar

To celebrate their 7th birthday, CODE welcome one of America's best known techno exports in David Flores, aka Truncate. Constantly in demand as an producer, remixer and DJ, Truncate (who also goes by the moniker Audio Injection) has evolved from his early days as part of LA's underground scene to become a hugely respected techno powerhouse (£10+bf).

Book Ahead

Blackout @ The Glue Factory, Sat 25 Mar

Kicking off at Glasgow’s Glue Factory, Blackout promises a mammoth 11-hour techno marathon, making unique use of the space for a audiovisual sensory experience. Manchester’s Stephanie Sykes will lead off, after impressing with an explosive set at the Art School for her Scottish debut last year, with Abdulla Rashim, Berlin’s Somewhen and Dax J, and the Animal Farm DJs rounding out the hard-hitting lineup. The event continues into the wee hours at The Joytown Electric Theatre, the city's newest clubbing venue (£25+bf).
