Music: Mr Scruff Interview
May 7, 2010
Saturday 15 May | The Warehouse | 10pm | £12.50 Tickets
Genre-hopping Manchester DJ/producer Mr Scruff is back in town touring his Keep It Unreal night and anyone who’s caught one of his marathon sets in the past will know what to expect, this time around we’ve got a whole five hours to look forward to as well…
We caught up with him to talk tunes, gig preparation (there’s lots of it in his case) and how he ended up running a tea company…
Music: Do It!
May 6, 2010
Friday 7 May | The Tunnels | 1opm | £5
We always seem to end up covering the Do It! nights, probably ‘cos they’re invariably ace parties. It’s not just us though, they’ve recently been featured in the excellent Juxtapoz mag for example…
Anyway, this is going to be a stormer as expat Aberdonian (and recent singing to Big Dada records) Offshore joins the regulars. Big things are expected from him this year, very big things indeed, check out this mix from Bonafide zine for a few eclectic, beat-laden pointers as to why…
Music: In Photos: Copy Haho, Moon Unit & AZI Cool
March 5, 2010
This is not a review as such. It’s not a review at all to be honest (they’re coming soon though), merely an excuse to post up some photos of last night’s excellent Copy Haho, Moon Unit & AZI Cool show at The Tunnels.
‘Twas a genuinely eclectic bill, and it worked: Haho ruled, Moon Unit assaulted and AZI flowed. Good times.
All photos by Neil Henderson, expect more of his work on the site very soon indeed…
Copy Haho
Music: Copy Haho, Moon Unit, Kuda
March 2, 2010
Thursday 4 March | The Tunnels | 7.30pm | £5 Tickets
If you’ve been paying any attention at all to this site, you’ll know about Stonehaven’s Copy Haho; and you’ll know they’re rather good indeed. This is likely to be their last Aberdeen show for a wee while, so it’d be rude not to check it out. Support comes from psychedelic Glasgow types Moon Unit (formerly Nackt Insecten Trio) and excellent local hip-hop MC Kuda.
Music: Haiti Fundraiser

Thursday 28 January | 99 Bar & Kitchen | 8pm | £5 (Donations)
Tonight (Thursday)! Great cause. Nice bar. Excellent line-up of DJs. What’s not to like?
Music: Do It!
December 9, 2009
Friday 11 December | Cellar 35 | 8.30pm | £3
The Do It! crew have been putting on great little parties down at Cellar 35 for over a year now, and there’s no reason why this night with a distinct Norwegian flavour to it will be any different.
Said flavour comes, not from a taste of that weird sweet brown cheese they have over there (which is, quite frankly, minging) but rather in the shape of guests Put Your Hand Up For Neo-Tokyo, a duo who’ve been making waves in Bergen’s burgeoning scene of late. Influences? Aphex Twin, Dimlite, Jeru the Damaja, Gary Numan and Devo. Not bad. Not bad at all. There’s a bit of early Madchester stuff in there too for good measure…
Glasgow deep house/disco don DJ Clinical (Cosmic Microwave) and Do It’s own funk/80′s selecter White Chocolate provide ample extra tuneage alongside all the extra visuals and artwork we’ve come to expect from this lot. Getting down early gives you the chance to pick up a free exclusive mix from Bergen’s Nabovarsel collective too. Done. Forget the oil, this is one Scando-Scottish exchange we heartily endorse. Skål!
Music: Dananananaykroyd, Kuda, Carson Wells
November 11, 2009
Update: Dananananaykroyd have cancelled. See homepage/post above for details
It’s not even the weekend yet and here’s the third show featuring some superb Scottish acts we’ve featured in the space of four days…
This time it’s the turn of glorious, shouty, bouncy, ‘fight-pop’ (their phrase) Glasgow outfit Dananananaykroyd. Now pretty firmly established on these shores and beyond, the word ‘energetic’ doesn’t do them justice. Let’s just say they know how to put on a show.
In an inspired piece of booking, support comes from local hip-hop type Kuda and post-punks Carson Wells while the Teenage Lust/Copy Haho DJs provide some recorded musical interludes. We thought the scary poster was worth including too, so without further ado…
