The Bug and Warrior Queen @ Soundcrash Launch Party, Glasgow School of Art, 12 Sep

In recent years, Soundcrash have been operating rigorously in London and running folk ragged with meaty names such as Luke Vibert, DJ Kentaro and Hexstatic, supplemented with healthy doses of Krush, Vadim and Kode 9. It’s about time then that the production company is bringing their self-proclaimed rag-tag assortment of vagabonds, miscreants and roll call of musical ingénues and geniuses northwards to Glasgow. For the launch party they have The Bug and Warrior Queen to bombard you with dark animal beats and throbbing bass partnered with otherworldy, hypnotic rhythms. DJ A' La Fu, a selector with an ear for the extraordinary, will assault you with mixes that are much-loved and much-pimped by both his labels and all of his many listeners. Memory9 aims for more than glitch with his dub-inflected musings, intense, genre-resistant electronic mashups and music. A self described 'electronic postmodern deconstructivist luckdragon on wheels', he completes the night, alongside Rob Soundcrash. Defo a launch party you won’t want to miss.
