Highlife present: T Williams + Auntie Flo @ La Cheetah, 5 Mar
Just when you wonder if Huntleys and Palmers may have been lost to Shoreditch indefinitely, they return to Glasgow to launch their new label with another instalment of their sporadic Afrobeat party Highlife. Good things come to those who wait, and it's fitting that the debut release on Huntleys and Palmers new imprint will be by their Highlife co-promoter Brian D'Souza. Auntie Flo, as Brian is otherwise known to fans such as Optimo, Caribou and Joy Orbison, is a champion of cross-cultural collaborations and a pioneer of world music 2.0, presenting Slabs of the Tabernacle and the wonderful Afro Futures show on Radio Magnetic.
The chaps won't just be patting themselves on the back all evening, because as you'd expect from Highlife there is also a superb guest on hand. T. Williams produced some gems in 2010 on his own Deep Teknologi label, not least Heartbeat, whose downright poppy sawtooth synths propelled it to being the number 3 top-selling dance single of the year on iTunes. It's free entry for anybody armed with proof that they've snapped up Auntie Flo's Goan Highlife release, so you'd best attend to that purchase. [John McGonagle]
