Marco Carola and Gaiser @ Pressure, The Arches. 27 Jun

Summer gets into full swing, with Slam using their unmatchable reputation as the largest Scottish techno promoters to bring some more hard hitters along for the June edition. Despite the fact that the event does have a ‘slight’ habit of repeating the same bookings again and again the place has probably been the most consistently busy night The Arches has had over the years so who can argue?

This month the talents of Marco Carola and Gaiser will grace the brick arches that ooze grime, character and a million memories in equal measure. Originally from Naples, Carola is one of the many purveyors of minimal and tough techno who have released records on the likes of Richie Hawtin’s Plus 8 label. Gaiser meanwhile is from the continual line of techno quality produced by Detroit and with a string of releases on the likes of M_nus and a growing reputation he’s worth checking out.

Originality and a new musical revolution this is not, but with the Arches packed and this monthly event as solid and reliable as ever the Ronseal of the clubbing calendar will continue to please its loyal fans with the biggest in new techno. [Sean McNamara]
