Laurent Garnier, Slam, Dave Mills, Billy Nasty, Pressure, The Arches, Glasgow, 30 Nov

Pressure is celebrating its 9th birthday and who better to blow out the candles than the techno King Pin himself, Laurent Garnier. But just in case he doesn't have enough breath in those pioneering lungs of his, the thoughtful people at Pressure have asked Slam, Billy Nasty and Dave Mills to give him a helping hand. In recent years Garnier has limited the number of sets he plays so this is a rare, and very welcomed, opportunity to see one of the great European techno DJs. With Slam, Billy Nasty and Dave Mills also spinning on the decks, Pressure may be about to throw the best birthday bash of the year. Christmas is around the corner and I think it is important that we take a step back from our hectic lives and ask ourselves a very simple question: will I be able to live with myself if I miss this?
