Radioactive Man
 Featured Club of the Week: Inner City Acid
Venue: La Cheetah

Shed a little tear - Inner City Acid have returned, but for one bitter-sweet final party (sincerely hope not though!) with ‘Acid Warriors’ Radioactive Man (Keith Tenniswood playing live) and the Dexorcist (Si Brown). Keith will showcase his new EP The Radioacid Box, as well as beats from his new LP, due to drop next year. Residents The Wasp and Scott Theory support.

Sounds like:

Edinburgh

Club: Compakt
Venue: Cabaret Voltaire

I’m loving RA’s description of Compakt guest Dustin Zahn; quickly summarised as ‘Minneapolis-based love machine’, he’ll be spreading moody techno rather than hippy love beats for the Edinburgh crew.

Ok, so it’s the name of a new Tectonic compilation, but it would be great if it was the name of a permanent club. The high-profile guests include Scientist Vs The Upsetters, Pinch, Sgt Pokes, Loefah and supported by local heroes Electric Eliminators. It’s more dubstep than you can handle! (Well, I bet you sit down once ;) )
