Merka, Chew The Fat!, The Sub Club, Glasgow, 16 Mar

Chew The Fat! is the club night run by the mighty Fat! Records, and despite being one of the longest-running breakbeat labels in the UK, Merka's debut LP Berserka is in fact their first full-length album release. This should go some way towards indicating the amount of buzz around Merka's beats. Taking a hacksaw to rave and electro, then sticking a mighty big Fat! style breakbeat under it, Merka is a producer of the irreverent, wideboy kind - his DJ set is sure to reflect this. Joining Merka and Fat! resident Bradley C for the launch of Berserka, The Rogue Element is another hot producer du jour, having won breakspoll's 2006 award for Best Breakthrough Producer. Championed by the likes of the Plumps and Hyper, he's another sure bet for an interesting and diverse set. Finally, XFM's Mash joins the crew for a rare breaks set. Get yourself down to the Sub Club for a night of big-ass basslines and fat beats. [Bram Gieben]
