The Dead Silence Syndicate, Confusion, The Soundhaus, Glasgow, Oct 13

Eschewing all sequencers, backing tracks and pre-recorded nonsense, this is intelligent but properly in-your-face music, and honestly sounds like nothing else you're going to be able to dance to off your mash this weekend.

The Dead Silence Syndicate are a 6-piece live band who re-construct drum and bass, techno, punk and extreme noise, featuring well-known techno mentalist The Dexorcist on keyboards, whose name will be well known to any Monox fans out there. Eschewing all sequencers, backing tracks and pre-recorded nonsense, this is intelligent but properly in-your-face music, and honestly sounds like nothing else you're going to be able to dance to off your mash this weekend. There will also be DJ sets from the Dead Silence team. Blaze a path down to The Soundhaus, where the Confusion boys and girls will be laying down some serious sonic fusion. Confusion Collective count West Coast rapper Soom T among their number, and put on an awesome show. They will be ably abetted this evening by Jonny Sideways (Kaotek Records), Smartie (Monox), Tim B (Radar) and Cosanostra (Iridium), playing a mix of techno, breaks and hip-hop. [Bram Gieben]
