The Spoonfed DJ Team pick the biggest clubbing in London this August.


Leftroom Sessions Part 2
6 August
Leftroom bring another line-up so fizzing it could out-do your Sunday morning alka-seltzer. Ryan Crosson heads the bill. Part of the Berlin-based Detroit native family, this Visionquest artist has pricked the ears of many with his grooves. There is an extra special yet to be named headliner who will join Leftroom label boss Matt Tolfrey on the main room bill. Heading room two is Inxec - the London native who flies in from a global touring schedule - Laura Jones and Robin Ordell. At 6am the party will move over to Cable - where Jaded will be keeping things moving long into the day.

Jamm Presents Phil Hartnoll
12 August
Phil Hartnoll - of Orbital fame - headlines tonight, returning to Jamm for the first time in a year. Orbital were one of the UK's - indeed electronic music's - most seminal acts and Phil has clocked up 20 years at the forefront of the cutting edge UK scene. He spins a a main room set tonight, bringing a classic M25 rave vibe to the Brixton institution. He's joined by Phat Planet - the house and breaks promotion, Absent Kelly providing the live room line up and About The Beat who bring a host of their resident DJs. Breaks, techno, old skool, acid house, rinsing beats.

FWD>> 10th Birthday
20 August
FWD has been instrumental (quite literally) in the genesis of dubstep. Tonight they go massive with a birthday party. They have reached the grand old age of ten and celebrate with a monster line-up at a secret east end location. Details to follow.

Colony and Scand Bank Holiday Special
28 August
Back at the Rhythm for another two-room massacre, Colony are armed to the teeth with DJs and live acts from across the country. Strictly house and techno in room one, with Scand representing the purist electro in room two. Topping the bill is Toby Leeming - aka The Third Man - and Miles Whitaker - aka MLZ. He's one half of Pendle Coven, integral member of the Modern love collective and out and out 1210 badbwoy. It's free. You've got precisely no reason for missing out on this Monday-off madness.

SW4: South West Four

28 - 29 August
Long ground into London's collective subconcious as the capital's premiere dance fest, SW4 returns to Clapham Common for another weekend of arm-waving, gut busting dnb, electro, house, hip hop and everything else with a beat.

Saturday
it's grandaddies of British electronic music Underworld who will be closing the main stage with a spectacular live show. There are also a load of techno dons: Tiefschwarz, Loco Dice, Sven Vath plus some house heroes: Laidback Luke, John Digweed, Pete Tong, James Zabiela, Judge Jules. Sunday sees Pendulum take on the main stage. OK, they've ditched the dnb in favour of a friendlier more electro sound, but when it comes to playing an arena sized stage, these guys have few rivals. The line-up on Sunday is insane: Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, Modeselektor, Ellen Allien, Andy C, Sub Focus, Sasha, Steve Lawler... I mean come on! Mouth is actually watering.
