Manu Le Malin, Hellfish & Mike Dred, Impact vs Twisted & Brainfire, The Soundhaus, Glasgow, 8 Dec

A follow up to the complete sell-out appearance of The Horrorist and The Producer last time round, the market for intense and frankly downright evil dance music is well and truly cornered here. With techno, hardcore, acid, drum'n'bass and gabba all accounted for, there will be more nastiness crammed into this one venue than the average human could withstand without fear of a high-BPM-induced aneurysm. The supporting DJs are enough to moisten the palates of even the most dedicated and depraved dancefloor devotees. But with special guests of the calibre promised here they'll be frying their attention spans in a effort to catch a piece of each set. This is not for the faint hearted. [Jack McFarlane]
