Slam, Audion (live), JD Twitch and JG Wilkes (Optimo), Funk D'Void, Pressure, The Arches, Glasgow, 28 Dec

It's difficult to convince people to go out in the week between Christmas and Hogmanay, when nobody has any money to spare. This month's Pressure aims to change that with an exciting lineup. Glasgow native Funk D'Void will be there to keep the crowd moving with a hybrid of house and techno, as will Optimo DJs Twitch and Wilkes who, having just celebrated the tenth anniversary of their institutional club night, can seemingly do no wrong at the moment. Also appearing will be Audion, the darker alter ego of producer Matthew Dear, who has been busy of late with an accessible techno album under his real name and recent monsters Mouth To Mouth and Noiser released as Audion. The night is rounded off with Slam, the duo who are never more at home than behind the decks at Pressure. Be sure to put aside some pennies for what promises to be a fantastic night. [Scott Ramage]
