House Of Techno Highlights - December
A quick grope of Kinky Afro's offering suggests something very, very big, with Soma main-man Jim Hutchinson spinning alongside Rustie, Alex Smoke and what feels like London's very finest Dubstep producer
| 07 Dec 2007
There's no point in me recommending New Year nights out, as New Year is the only time your neighbours can't actually complain about the bloody racket coming from your speakers and the intensely grinning guests who keep knocking on their door and asking if they have any more drugs. Actually, sod it, you can do that after DJ Funk @ Numbers (Glasgow Art School, 31 Jan, 10pm-4am, £23+bf). We've been feeling our presents though and How's Your Party? have a delightful stocking filler in their Baltimore Bass Connection night on 6 Dec, with Diplo's mate XXXChange swinging by the Subby to rock it out with Devlin and Darko and Jackmaster (11pm-3am, £3/£5). Radioclit will be joining them on 20 Dec, and a week after that Graeme Park will be rocking out on the wheels of steel, celebrating twenty years of Hacienda... yada yada, you know who he is. A quick grope of Kinky Afro's offering suggests something very, very big, with Soma main-man Jim Hutchinson spinning alongside Rustie, Alex Smoke, and what feels like London's very finest Dubstep producer (Subclub, 28th 11pm-3am, £tbc). He's just dropped his second album Untrue, and has so far managed to keep his identity a closely guarded secret...
Wrapped up in a lovely ribbon at Death Disco on 15 Dec is Erol Alkan, along with Shitdisco (The Arches, 11pm-4am, £12). I know who I'd rather find in my stockings. Make Tronic's Xmas card list and get invited to see Satellite Dub for free at Tronic's final show at the 13th Note on 21 Dec (9pm-late, free), whilst the Electric Eliminators offer Skream and Sgt Pokes for a mere 8 bones (10.30pm-3am, Glasgow Art School, 14 Dec, £8). That's as good as turkey with all the trimmings.
Dixon fae Ame's a book token in the grand scheme of things for Dec; always useful and guaranteeing a few hours fun. Check him at the Cab on 7 Dec (11pm-3am, £8/6). Also on 7 Dec is Pendle Coven and The Doubtful Guest at Studio 24 for some full-on raving action at Clutterhouse with support from Absolute Chancer and Termit (11pm-3am, £6/£8). A week later Percy X and Justin Berkovi crash down on Clutterhouse's remnants (14 Dec, 10.30pm-3am, £8/£10) for more techno treats. If you do get kicked out of your Hogmanay party (or anyone else's), check out Mungo's HiFi and Departure Lounge at The Caves, with plenty guests to shake your rhythm stick at (time tbc, £22).
And for you to give something back, Cabaret Voltaire sees chaps from Edinburgh's biggest nights teaming up for a good cause on 4 Jan (11pm-3am, Donation/£3) for the Edinburgh Sick Kids fundraiser featuring Tokyoblu, Soul Biscuits and Sugarbeats B-sides.
