After being enticed back by the Capital's current house legends Tokyoblu, Rebel Waltz will return to the same street as their original venue with the Tokyoblu DJs on support in Room 1: Room 2 sees Marco Smith and Little Grooves spread house and disco love to the Cab Vol crowds.

Glasgow

Club: Numbers
Venue: Sub Club

Numbers essentially stands as the answer to the following question; just how many great artists does your club book? For the awakening of Summer Numbers bring Joy Orbison (Hot Flush) hot on the trail of his floor-buzzing Hyph Mngo release last year. Eyes off the shoes for a fusion of house, dubstep, tropical and UK funky edges! Residents Nelson and new addition Kasrave will be on support; also keep an eye out for Kasrave's debut release entitled Quotes, due on the Numbers labels this month.
