DJ Mehdi @ Let It Bleed, 31 Oct

Big and scary. Big and scary with a quaffable helping of joie de vivre! Aberdeen’s Let It Bleed are offering a frighteningly boisterous option for this year’s Hallowe'en activity with Ed Banger insider Mehdi commanding the 600 capacity Forum - complete with Funktion One sound.

The French are awfully good at transforming themselves into an uber-marque of coolness. So much so that I, like many others, pull out my jealousy stick and tap it relentlessly to the heinously meaty mix of hip-hop and house that they’ve dominated since the mid-90s.

Collaborating closely with the usual gallic suspects as well as Stateside superstars Busta Rhymes and Timbaland has spiralled Mehdi’s pedigree into stratospheric planes befit of a movie stardom - which could explain his film soundtrack work too, MERDE! It’s really enough to make you quite sick (with envy), so tonight make as much goo and slime on the floor as you can. No really, get messy. Get bad.
