Zero dB, Freq, The Sub Club, Glasgow, Fri 16

The beats were flowing, but you wouldn't say freely. That might have been the jazz, but it might have been the people listening to it. When the rhythm was rolling it was funkier than a mosquito's tweeter, but you got the feeling folks were a bit bamboozled when it wasn't. "How to dance?" we wondered as we grooved. Still, Zero dB featured a good collection of tracks with a groove that just got deeper, sounding like a definitive Ninja Tunes posse. The basslines were fat, but it didn't feel like the Sub Club PA was on full volume until well into the night. There was some great dancing to be had, albeit with what felt like one of the most uncertain crowds seen in the Subby since that night the door staff gave us all a fiver. They did keep us guessing, but they kept us dancing too. More of that, please. [Dalai Dahmer]
