The Flying Lurinskys (live), JakN, Studio 24, Edinburgh, 28 Sept

Taking old school rave and cementing it onto banging techno loops with some hints of electro, TFL will be literally destroying the club with their material

Despite sounding like a Russian trapeze act, The Flying Lurinskys are techno knob-twiddlers Michael Forshaw and Dan Monox in disguise, hitting Edinburgh for a live special. Sharing a love for 'evil techno and circus trapeze acts', and inspired by the same circus show they visited as children, The Flying Lurinskys is a dedication to a family act: as the legend goes, the family were tragically killed by a bear they tried to incorporate into the show. Dan Monox currently plays out at Glasgow's dark and industrial Monox club while running the MNX record label, and Michael Forshaw runs Chan 'n' Mikes Records, outputting some of the wonkiest, soul-destroying techno around. Both will be taking their hardcore sound out on the road again, showcasing tracks from this year's Unleash Electric Death EP. Taking old school rave and cementing it onto banging techno loops with some hints of electro, TFL will be literally destroying the club with their material, shaking the timbers from the roof and tipping brains out of clubbers. Support comes from Sekonz and Fuk-Nut running the full gamut of the techno genre. [Alex Burden]
