So, somebody called Michael Trombley has started a new night in Detroit called Menergy. Hmm, "Menergy"... that name is familiar. OK, it's a Patrick Cowley song - we don't claim ownership of the name. So, what is this new night's music policy? Italo disco and Hi-NRG, you say? Well, everyone loves disco! Right?

Tonight he's playing in La Cheetah, one of Glasgow's most exciting venues for electronic music at the moment.

Telford, one of our favourite house DJs, has selected a track to get you in the mood ahead of this weekend's Subculture Residents party.
It's a thick slice of beauty, with a ghostly vocal and a synthetic low end just begging to be heard on a system that can take it. The track is by Kate Wax, and the remix is by James Holden.

"Frank Miller is someone whose work I’ve barely looked at for the past twenty years. I thought the Sin City stuff was unreconstructed misogyny, 300 appeared to be wildly ahistoric, homophobic and just completely misguided.

At 8:45 long, this really is a mini-mix, but producer ƸC†OPL∆SM manages to cram a lot in, from mutated Rustie breaks to post-witch house vibes from Funerals and ∆AIMON. If you enjoy this, check out some more ƸC†OPL∆SM releases:
