Si Begg and Cursor Minor, Inner City Acid, The Soundhaus, Glasgow, 13 Jan

The excellent Inner City Acid night provides some more underground gems to get 2007 into its stride

The Soundhaus has always been one of Glasgow's busiest secrets, regularly filling itself despite the amount of people who struggle to find it. Part of its popularity is down to the outstanding underground line-ups of DJs and live music provided, and this January is no exception when Si Begg and Cursor Miner are set to roll into Inner City Acid. The bi-monthly night has now been running for two years, a good return for a night started by five friends who wanted to create the kind of club they were missing. Like many of its fellow nights ICA is difficult to categorize musically as so many genres from and between electro, techno and acid house are all covered.

This month's guests are a prime example: Si Begg has released under a number of aliases including Cabbageboy and S.I.Futures and his sound is a truly unique mix of techno. His production was recently described as "immaculate" by Mix Mag when they gave his latest release 'Jetlag and Tinnitus Part 1' single of the week. Cursor Minor meanwhile will provide a must see live set which the promoters describe as "Spazz pop with a sprinkling of good old British humour." The resident DJ support of Jon Virtue, Monsieur DeLarge and Joe Cannon along with the excellent VJ Altronix on visuals will also be appearing, and as ever, the bar room will be a showcase for other local talent. All sure to blow away those January cobwebs. [Sean McNamara]
