Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) & Vicarious Bliss, Death Disco, The Arches, Glasgow, 19 Jan

A new year begins and once again Death Disco starts it even bigger than the one before. No longer the new kid on the block, it is now the powerhouse of the cavernous venue, pulling in sell-out crowds every time. Originally Death Disco fitted nicely with the slightly older, more decadent clubbers, but is now the place for all ages to come together and celebrate great tunes and fantastic flamboyance. The January blues become the January neon multi-colours this month with the help of Joe from Hot Chip, an excellent DJ in his own right and worthy of the headline spot. Alongside him is the electro onslaught of Vicarious Bliss, who appears as part of a global tour and is one of the emerging talents of the Ed Banger Records stable. Completing the bill are the ever reliable DJ Mingo-go, Record Playerz, Johnny Whoop and The Microsluts for a low key yet devastating start to the new year. [Sean McNamara]
