Uprising is one heck of a rave. Thirteen years in the business and still going strong, they sure know how to party. A period of time that has seen some of the most intense lunacy known to mankind, a gleeful hedonistic appetite that would revile Hunter S Thompson and a brutal music policy which leaves no prisoners, it's no wonder the party continues to grab attention across the globe.

Tonight Plug eschews its Club and live formats in favour of a
combination of the two for a very special ‘versus' event. Plug's
flexibility is attributed to spreading the music across its venues,
allowing for tri-pronged aural goodness.

If theirs one underlying theme at this Saturday's gig, it's the
unadulterated Filth. House music has taken a turn for the dirty in the
last few years, and is all the better for it. A genre once dominated by
rolling basslines and wailing divas, now it's littered with huge synth
riffs, murky beats and a sex drenched manifesto. Jack's got his clothes
dirty.

Formed from the ashes of the trance-rockers Spacemen 3,
singer/guitarist Jason Pierce's group Spiritualized did not break away
from his prior band's trademark hypnotic minimalism; instead, they
perfected it. Drawing on the continued influence of the Velvet
Underground, La Monte Young, and Steve Reich, Spiritualized staked out
a common ground between minimalism and lush symphonics.

The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! is the lovechild of

if I might be down to collaborate on a song or album, whatever I saw
fit.

Bison are in fact a nine- or ten-piece, horns-front, hoof-stomping

getting some serious movement out of knees and, for want of a better

pop music of all kinds, and minds of their own.

Sheffield has always been at the heart of the bassline scene. Whilst
the country turned its back on UK Garage at the turn of the nineties
there were certain hotspots that refused to let it die. Along with
Birmingham and certain suburbs of the capital, the Steel City was
representing week in week out for those who still loved their dance
music infused with that little more bass alongside the vocals.
