Monox, the dirty techno dealer of choice for many Glaswegians, is once again dishing out the bad stuff at the Soundhaus. This time it's MANASYt and Dave Tarrida cooking up the heavy electronic highs for us on their live PA. MANSYt is launching his Tales of Ignorance album - you'll certainly have heard his dark and dangerous sounds spun before, for instance Punchwave, one of the best tracks to grace Dave Clarke's World Service 2 album. You'll have heard of Tarrida too; he comes from all the way across the country in Edinburgh, where he was a founding member of the Sativa club. In 1994 he began the label Sativae Recordings with Steve Glencross, releasing the likes of Landstrumm and Adam X. Featured on the Tresor Test EP, and behind so much of the techno happening in Edinburgh in the nineties, you know this guy knows his stuff. Tarrida helped shape dancing in Scotland - his home club even warrants a mention in one of Irvine Welsh's novels, Maribou Stork Nightmares, and on the 19 May he'll be going up against one of the fiercer, darker producers in the genres. This looks set to be a great night for any friends of the sequencer. [James Blake]
