Heard it Through the Bassline Presents Pangaea @ The Caves, 17 January

When we heard that Heard it Through the Bassline were soon to stop running their quality midweek nights showcasing some of the hottest DJs around, our immediate reaction, inevitably, was one of disappointment. Having given a platform for some of the earliest appearances in Edinburgh for people such as James Blake, Ramandanman, Ben UFO, Koreless and Jacques Greene, HITTBL’s end will inevitably be a loss for anyone wanting to check out electronic music that is ahead of the curve.

With promoters David Coleby and Joel Sharples having finished their Uni degrees, the life cycle of the night has come to a natural end, even if the demand for the music has, if anything, only been growing. The only consolation for regulars will be a heavyweight line-up headed by Hessle Audio co-founder and one of dubstep’s major proponents, Pangaea. Having previous featured the label’s other co-founders, Ben UFO and Ramadanman, Pangaea gets his turn to deliver what will be make everyone else realise how far behind they really are. With a support made up of ALLCAPS’ Bake, LuckyMe’s Eclair Fifi and Dummymag’s Cadenza the last night will inevitably be rather massive.
