Found: The Z-Shed vs Black Butter Records
The Z-Shed renegade crew bring their warped take on the rave to Hidden tonight - going up against the newly cool Black Butter Records. Philly legend Starkey makes amazing, techy dubstep. He tops a blistering line-up which includes Chicago's juke main man Murderbot, Ninja Tune recruit and out and out badman Raffertie, UK funky supremo Lil Silva, Swamp 81 favourite Riffs and Black Butters RackNRuin. It's gonna be heavy.

Richie Hawtin Presents Plastikman Live 1.5
Richie Hawtin brings his Plastikman alter ego to London for the first time.
All aspects of the performance - music, lighting, audio, visuals and real-time audience interaction via the SYNK App - are controlled by a single on-stage performer. Richie Hawtin is apparently "incredibly excited to finally take Plastikman on its first standalone tour."
These dates will represent the last opportunities for fans to catch Plastikman Live in its current form: the 1.5 version of the show they've spent nearly a year of fine-tuning. After that, Plastikman will be returning to the shadows to begin work on a brand new 2.0 concept.
Saturday 3rd December
Uppercut Presents The Christmas Offensive
Uppercut launches tonight - and not a moment too soon. Created by the cats behind Secret Garden Party's Poundland, they bring you a multifarious selection of electronic bliss across the bass spectrum: dubstep, glitch hop, lazer bass, crunk, drum and bass and booty house with extreme overtures of RAVE.
They've got underfloor speakers to be adequately tested the by DJs chunky slabs - you'll be able to feel it through your feet homies. There's also a knock-out photo booth in the boxing ring (have your mug shot mid knock-out!), the Katinka make-up girls making you look better than you really are and all manner of excessive festival vibes.
Dress to dance. (East London location to be revealed nearer the time.)
