Club: Annie Mac Presents
Venue: Ocean Terminal
Date: Saturday 16th October

Annie Mac doesn’t even need a club to play at - she just invents her own!

This will be interesting for the sociological experiment alone!

Club: Sensu
Venue: Sub Club
Date: Friday 15th October

No it’s not an annoying computer message; Reboot (Cadenza / Cocoon) plays a Scottish exclusive for Sensu’s 6th birthday, and indulges us in ‘the new sound of Frankfurt’* - a combination of techno, house and electronica, fire-stoked for extra warmth and arsch-schlapped for extra bounce.

*I feel a genre deconstruction coming on.
