Musika 4th Birthday with John Digweed @ The Liquid Room, 12 Feb
They say a leopard never changes its spots. This is certainly the case with regards to Edinburgh club night Musika, which will be celebrating its fourth birthday this month with John Digweed. Born out of the ashes of popular noughties progressive house night Progression, Musika has become known for its eclectic booking policy, hosting artists from Luciano to James Zabiela to Joris Voorn to Booka Shade. Sometimes, the promoters just can’t help booking a name who seems more suited to days gone by. Luckily for Musika, Digweed has moved on from prog house himself and these days plays more in a tech-house vein which should suit the birthday celebrations.
An industry heavyweight, Digweed has given himself longevity past the sound that made him famous by incorporating current music and genres into his famously cohesive DJ sets. Completing the lineup is Maetrik, who will be showcasing his new Maceo Plex alter-ego, departing from his signature futuristic techno in favour of the dark house sound that he has been releasing on label of the moment, Crosstown Rebels. Support is provided from residents Derek Martin and James McKenzie. [Kat Young]
