Shadow Dancer @ Everything Else Sucks, 10 Oct

Fresh off the back of Golden Trax, Shadow Dancer arrives in Aberdeen

Everything Else Sucks have gathered a solid following since they established themselves last year. Judging by the excited social media babble, it seems they have plugged a gap in the Aberdeen music scene. The crowd were tempted in by the promise of "100% filth" in the form of crunching basslines and heavy, heavy drops - the sort of music which, in their defence, can only be described as 'dirty'.

The calibre of both residents and guests certainly helped - Hostage, Foamo, DJ Zinc and Jack Beats. Their first birthday continues the celebration with Shadow Dancer (Boys Noize). With a similarly serious sound to their label's founders, Shadow Dancer are cleaner and sharper, with acid house references and elements of crisp techno refining the fuzzier, heavier electro moments. Not happy with simply using the standard birthday gimmick, the night is also a christening of sorts - they've moved to the newly reopened Origin.
