The Filthy Dukes bring their famed Kill Em All night North from its home at London’s Fabric for the first of a new bi-monthly residency at The Dirty Hearts Club.   They’ll be joined by KEA co-promoter and one of the DJs/producers du jour Stopmakingme whose eclectic mix of electro, techno, house, post-punk, pop and anything in between pretty much sums up the ethos of the night.  Which sounds fine by us.  Check out some mixes here, they sound fine by us too…

Tonight (Thursday)!  Great cause.  Nice bar.  Excellent line-up of DJs.  What’s not to like?

Friday 4 December | Cellar 35 | 8pm | £3

Something a bit different this Friday in the small but perfectly formed surroundings of Cellar 35…

Live music from Beats of Rage a ‘chiptune-fuelled digital hardcore attack using Gameboys, a Commodore 64, fuzz guitar and screaming’ and Gameboy musician Comptroller, who promises the thickest sounds you’ve ever heard from a loveable, small, grey plastic brick as well as turntable action from DJs Alun Elizium and Still Gay.

All local acts too. This sort of thing deserves to be supported. Go get your mind melted.

Ooh, scary ghosties etc.  Here’s the pick of the Halloween musical happenings round town on Saturday…

The Lemon Tree hosts the annual Skalloween bash with a headline set from superb dub/reggae collective and The Specials’ tour support Pama International. Local bands Famous Ape and AKA Ska complete the line-up (8pm/£12)

The Tunnels has a perfect fit for the evening in the shape of weird, dark and  jazzy ex-Uncle John & Whitelock types Tut Vu Vu (8pm/£5) while down at The Moorings (where let’s face it, it’s Halloween every day of the week)  Dundee horror-punks Dirty Wee Middens are among the bands playing at Fudge Promotions‘ ‘Halloween Spectacular’ (8pm/£3)

Club-wise, Ed Banger Records’ French disco/hip-hop/electro producer DJ Mehdi (pictured below) guests at Let It Bleed‘s party at The Forum (10pm/£12), Room 2 at The Warehouse hosts Peepshow Creepshow: A Halloween Burlesque Ball (11pm/£10) featuring loads of performances and DJ Jimsin while excellent Glasgow house/techno duo Silicone Soul (Soma Records) play at Snafu (11pm/£8).

Right, I’m off to cut two eyeholes in a bedsheet.  Again.  Hey, it’s a classic OK?
