Berlin duo Modeselektor have been enticed back to The Art School again by Glasgow event organisers and purveyors of digital diversity, Numbers. Despite having previously described themselves as Eurocrunk, a definitive genre definition will remain illusive for as long as they insist on producing albums that make it seem so effortless in being multifaceted and high in quality. Their back catalogue now includes everything from four-to-the-floor techno to rump shaking house tinged hip-hop. Their previous round of live shows turned a lot of heads and earned praise from everyone from Glasgow's high priests of muso-dom Optimo (Espacio), to po-faced über-auteurs, Radiohead. With the possibility of mainstream crossover looming on the back of new release Happy Birthday, these live shows are set to be retold in pubs for many years to come, "Oh, I saw them before they got big." At £10 for the first 100 advanced tickets it's practically an investment. [Jack McFarlane]
