Jeff Mills, Alex Smoke and Vakant Records, Pressure, The Arches, Glasgow, 23 Feb

It seems that these days Pressure doesn't know the meaning of a low key night, as month after month they provide established guests backed up by the kind of local talent that won't let anybody down. This month sees more of the same as they welcome back techno legend Jeff Mills with support from Glasgow based Alex Smoke. Jeff Mills is a name known by most people with even the most basic knowledge of club culture yet his twenty year career has seen him continue to remain resolutely underground in his style. Since his days in the late Eighties as part of the Detroit Techno Collective he has played across the globe at the very best clubs, and his set at last year's T in the Park was nothing short of a sublime masterclass. Next on the bill comes a live set from Alex Smoke who recently has played across Europe and Australia, moving from being an emerging talent to a firm fixture on the techno scene. His unique blend of minimalist techno with shimmering electronica is what sets this Scottish producer apart and his set should not be missed. Also on the bill, along with Slam as ever, are Onur and Matthias Kaden from Vakant Records. Vakant is an excellent minimal label that is causing a stir and with further back-up from the Dblspk club, a fine night is to be had. [Sean McNamara]
