Treva Whateva, Mini Biz, Ivy Bar, Glasgow, 23 Feb

Ninja Tune producer, Treva Wateva, comes to play at The Ivy for the official launch of Mini Biz, the brainchild of local boy Boom Monk Ben - the man behind the Mixed Bizness nights. With a capacity of 80 the basement of the Ivy is soon packed with people eager too see what all the fuss is about. Unfortunatly, for too long the undoubtedly fine selection of hip hop, soul and funk proves to be rather too chilled out for the crowd's taste, especially since this is a launch night. A cheeky remix of Eric B and Rakim gets the place moving and is followed by material from TrevaŽs MusicŽs Made Of Memories LP, which seems to be the highlight of the evening as far as the crowd are concerned. The last hour features tunes by Quantic and Mr Scruff but is still lacking the kind of block rockin' beats required. However, with forthcoming guests such as Hint, A Skills, Danny Breaks and Subcity Block Party smashers, and Leisure Allstars, Mini Biz looks set to be make a valuable contribution to GlasgowŽs clubbing scene.
