That movement of dubstep into the mainstream had been a long time coming – indeed, like many of 2010's developments, it was a consolidation of much that had been bubbling away for the past decade – but it marked a fundamental generational shift. For this anniversary instalment it welcomes back prolific producer, student of the city’s late 80s techno boom and FXHE label head Omar S for three hours of tech-house, booty and electro.The most aggressive sounds proved to have a sensitive or celebratory side, the hoariest old rhythms were given a new lease of life and – despite the supposed globalisation of the weird wired world – highly localised club scenes were once more at the forefront of developments. One of its most successful strands has been Motor City Electronics, a regular night that celebrates the lasting influence of Detroit upon the club dancefloor. Set in a bar basement, La Cheetah’s sweaty, compact guest parties have been the stuff of legend for six years now. Plus, look out for a live performance from CAR. Since then he’s played with Hot Chip side project About Group and done the odd remix, but is still very much a “secret weapon”. His only album to date was back in 2003 and is the definition of a cult classic, featuring garage-punk, itchy electro and Prince-style squelch (Spiral in particular still slays), while his 2005 single for Ed Banger, Bongo Song, was a ubiquitous blog-house smash. Too underground to be well-known, too active to be truly mysterious, Japan-born, London-based producer Zongamin is blessedly enigmatic. Meanwhile, Evan Baggs, a New York-via-Berlin DJ and producer and firm favourite among the likes of Joy Orbison, adds a flavour of tasteful house and techno to a worthy 12th birthday for a thriving party. While autumnal Middlesbrough possesses a rather different charm to, say, the rolling Croatian coast, the brothers can expect a similarly ecstatic response here.

Out to celebrate a “decade plus two of scrinsing, smogging, punching holes in ceilings and going against the grain”, gritty north-east techno collective Riffraff has roped in Detroit techno duo Octave One and their meticulously constructed live show, fresh off the back of fifth LP Burn It Down and a summer of rapturously received Euro-festival sets. And look ahead: other Clock Strikes 13 nights include laidback Vancouver dawgs 1080p, ferric techno from Mute’s Liberation Technologies spinoff, Atlantan rap pervs Awful Records, and three barnstorming nights from Ninja Tune.Ĭorsica Studios, SE17, Sat Dance Tunnel, E8, Fri Come Friday, it’s the turn of Portuguese label Príncipe, whose tracks are so raggedly syncopated that they’re in danger of falling apart altogether, DJ Firmeza and the staggeringly talented Nidia Minaj are joined by the daddy of the scene, DJ Marfox. Take this Saturday’s, which goes to show the sheer breadth of grime today: pwopa nawty filth from Kahn & Neek, Darq E Freaker and Spooky, gyaldem-facing R&B pop from DJ Q and Finn, and emotional devastation from Deadboy and Rabit.
