The Drum and Bass Curriculum - October 2007

I hope to hell you decided to stay in during September and caught up on any of that sleep you've been missing because the month of October is jam-packed. Kicking it all off on 3 Oct is Siren presenting Defcon1 plus residents (11pm-3am, £5). 12 Oct is going to be a seriously hard choice all round with an absolute feast of entertainment. First of all is Volume which this month comes from The Bongo Club (11pm-3am, £9). He's one of those dubstep chappies you've been reading about (and will be reading about in our Edinburgh feature!) - Tempa Records' Skream is pushing his unique flavour of dubstep is alongside residents Profisee, Termite and guest G*Mac. Not far away and with a massive line up is Xplicit. DJ Friction, DJ Hype and Ed Rush join Xplicit residents for The Shogan Audio Tour at Potterrow (see our preview for details).

Meanwhile, another d&b and electro night takes place at Berlin, Edinburgh with the French collection of Redrum, Phonograph, Morue 23 and EA MC (details tbc). For the d&b crew Clyde side, Pangea expand their empire and residents Special Ed and Professa Fresh are joined by MCs and graff artists at the Barfly Glasgow (12 Oct, 11pm-3am, £4/£5). Dubpressure also visits Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh from Brighton on 25 October (see Edinburgh page). Rusko, Slaughtermob, Unlikely and Monsta are amongst the visiting dubstep DJs and the backroom is hosted by the Life4Land crew who promise complete mayhem. Ending this packed out month and moving north to Dundee, 26 Oct sees Pangea v's Az-Tech for a breakbeat head to head (details tbc). Residents from both clubs battle it out in what is bound to be a proper mash up of bass heavy styles. Now that's surely enough for you.
