Oni Ayhun, Oneohtrix Point Never & Veronica Vasicka @ Huntleys and Palmers Audio Club, 30 Oct

Our first love returns to town and we discover that we never got over Huntleys and Palmers leaving us at the altar

We're not going to lie, when Huntleys and Palmers Audio Club took a hiatus from hosting events in Glasgow a stab of pain ran through us. Like trying to cope with a bad break-up we promised that whatever the issue was, we could change, just please stay here and things can be different.

Time heals all wounds apparently, but no sooner had we moved on than Huntleys and Palmers returns to Stereo in Glasgow on 30 Oct with some very impressive bookings indeed.

Headlining the night is the mysterious Oni Ayhun, the minimal-techno-non-Fever Ray-half of a well known Scandanavian electronic outfit who's productions draw parallels to the melodic elements of Border Community, the bleepy techno of Ivan Smagghe and the more stripped back sound of Detroit. Wink wink, nudge nudge and all that.

Oneohtrix Point Never has become a bit of a synth poster boy of 2010 – with The Wire and FACT Magazine enthusing over his recent output. He's recently released on Tom, Konx Om Pax's label and his track Returnal has been rereleased with an amazing remix featuring Antony & The Johnsons on vocals.

Veronica Vasicka created her Minimal Wave label almost a decade ago and Stones Throw Records liked it so much they asked her to curate a brilliant, if not imaginatively titled, compilation going by the name of The Minimal Wave Tapes Volume One.

Lastly, Numbers resident The Village Orchestra joins Huntleys and Palmers host Andrew Thomson on deck duties for what is likely to be the best night of the month.
