Numbers @ Sub Club, 5 Nov

Having long established themselves as one of the most forward thinking nights in Scotland, Numbers are back with another huge lineup. With past guests including the likes of Martyn, Floating Points, Kode9, Rustie, Hudson Mohawke and Untold, it’s a given that the music on offer is always going to be fantastic. This month it’s the turn of three artists who front some of the most exhilarating aspects of UK Bass music.

First off is Joker, representing the very cutting edge of dubstep. His own brand of ‘Purple’ dubstep is a fantastically melodic spin on the format. Next up we have James Blake, the very epitome of future-looking music, borrowing elements of everything from R'n'B to dubstep seamlessly. With releases on the infamous R&S label, his recent EP Klavierwerke has been one of the most exciting releases of the year. Finally, be sure to catch golden boy of London label Night Slugs – Girl Unit. His sound is a sub driven blend of juke, hip hop, house and ghetto that has to be one of the most refreshing sounds of 2010. If there is one night to go to this year... it has to be this one!
