Tonight's promising sets from two of the very best electro producers around certainly tickled our fancy. Would it live up to the expectation, we wondered? The answer is yes. Freq residents Brian and Murray turn out a pleasantly rounded and squelchy warm-up; the mood darkening somewhat with the Wee DJs arrival on stage. His personal brand of pumped-up, industrial edged electro is intensified threefold by the Sub Club's newly-installed underfloor speakers, carrying the bass in a pleasurably jarring way from our kneecaps to our skulls. The crowd are dancing like madmen after getting used to the new, interactive sensation as he tears through his set with seemingly no consideration for our poor hearts. The energetic set is followed by Silicon Scally's calmer and more dignified P1-esque rollicking grooves, weaved into a tight and focused selection that is satisfyingly melodic compared to the earlier dirty aural onslaught. The drop in tempo suggests that the line-up should have been the other way around, but it still ticks all the right boxes for a fantastic experience. [Sarah Mair]
