Mutiny, The Bongo Club, Edinburgh, 28 Nov

Conceived by Nass (Edinburgh's DubPressure) and DJ Tamobanter, the manifesto for Mutiny is an alluring one: cheap and cheerful door tax, a battering ram of twisted noise, and a combo of red-raw local talent with resolutely underground guests. In a similar vein to nights such as Nuthouse and Wobbly, it's the cream of the topmost rigs and party collectives in the UK we'll be seeing ce soir. Tamo delivers a sick assault of techy dnb to get the ball rolling, followed by Cambridge's Scamp (Life4land) with a collection of his own bastardised tunes, welding frenzied drum and bass with explosive breakcore. Varying from the theme of broken beats, Mattycore, (also Life4land) pounds through a mosh-worthy DJ set of hardtek, hardcore and rowdy nonsense. The live set from Machinochrist (Badsekta/Noizetek) is his first appearance this side of the border, and it's absolutely bangin'. As one of the central figures in the southern breakcore arena he's the golden boy tonight, and he makes himself known by puncturing the Bongo Club with a juggernaut of skittering junglism and ragga samples at the start of the set, taking a turn into full-on nasty breakcore for the conclusion. A thoroughly unruly first night for Mutiny. Don't miss the sequel on 7 February. [Rosie McLean]
