Alternative present Riton @ The V Club, 6 Feb

Alternative's monthly airing at the V Club promises some impressive line-ups for its coming events, including Format B and French techno upstart Popof. February sees Alt celebrate its second birthday, boasting a headline set from London-based Riton, whose recent activity includes recording mixes for Radio 1 and Mixmag. Riton, who has pledged to introduce a harsher techno sound to his recent productions, looks set to push V Club's newly installed soundsystem to its very limits. Also on the bill for February are Glasgow's very own Killer Kitsch, bringing a flavour of their successful Tuesday nights at Buff Club to the V Club’s Velvet Lounge, and Alt residents Derrick Burns and Jose. With one of the most exciting line-ups on offer this month, February's Alt looks set to be, as all birthdays should be, a night to remember.
