‘We’re the PlayStation generation/Xboxed up on your CCTV/You can file us under hoodie or Asbo as you take away our identity’, sings Natty on his song ‘Coloured Souls’.

Room Two guest DJ..... MIKE FIELDING!! YES! NABOO FROM MIGHTY BOOSH! Playing indie and randomness alongside resident LittleLostDavid!

Jake Burns formed Stiff Little Fingers (the band's name was taken from a 1977 Vibrators lyric "If it wasn't for your stiff little fingers nobody would know you were dead"...) In 1978 after seeing the Clash play in his hometown Belfast, and the band released the classic Suspect Device and Alternative Ulster singles that year.

A simple concept with a spectacular affect. Take a room full of clubbers, arm them all with a set of wireless headphones, have two separate DJ's broadcast to them live via two dedicated FM channels and watch the utterly surreal spectacle that unfold.

Cosmic Visuals by JEDI & BooGHOST Zogg has always been up for mixing up the genres, so this month we're very pleased to have as special guests...

There’s something very special happening at Plug this Saturday. As usual LJ Freeman, Hallam Floorfillers, Tom Lee and Ollie Hayes will all be adding their glorious edge to the soundtrack of Saturdays in Sheffield, but one man is joining them who as quickly become a huge

Formed in 2002 5 boys from Hull, The Paddingtons, released 4 singles and the album, 'First Comes First' picked up a legion of devoted fans and toured the world making it their playground. Getting bored and disillusioned by the music scene they decided to give it all up for the much lauded 9-5 job, having realised they couldn't actually get one, The Paddingtons are back in 2008 but this time it's on their own terms! Th

In keeping with the sound of his new album, "Slime & Reason," the show will built around a soundsystem feel, focussing more on electronics, dub and crashing beats than the live band sound he employed last time out. As he's shown recently at shows like the "iTunes London Live" festival, Rodney Smith has never enjoyed playing live more. The tour will be a whistle stop journey through fistfuls of classic Manuva tracks plus ample material from the new album.

JME (real name Jamie Adenuga) is the owner & CEO of Boy Better Know, a North London-based record label, along with his brother Skepta. He is also a member of Roll Deep.

It's time to don the fly threads and get that ass ready for some serious bump and Grind with the news that Plug has a brand new night, bumping into the consensus with rnb fully at the forefront. Lickerish will boast the most upfront jams and the slickest of joints that currently feature in the myriadic genre of Urban music, showcasing the finest moments of the scene.

Detonate bring back a smasher with two of the hottest acts in drum n bass firing up the rave in October. Continuing their dexterity, the line-up reflects dnb it's most visceral, with a true all rounder of the scene squaring off against the daddy of sonic warfare as Fabio and Mampi Swift clash!

This week's Shuffle sees the return of the Bora Bora lynchpin Oliver Lang, whose sun kissed ibizan grooves brought a much needed Balearic feel to the club back in June as part of the stunning beach party. As rain sweeps through October, the need for Lang goodness is even more prosaic.

This might turn out to be Bison's last gig! Because of some members wanting to concentrate on other things, everyone's favourite orange-clad ska jokers are going to have to call it a day for a while, and possibly for ever. Luckily for you they've got something special planned as a send-off.

Singer-songwriters are meant to trade in whimsical pleasures, in the soft strums of a guitar, in worlds so delicate and small they could shatter at a single touch. Martha Wainwright doesn't trade alongside them. Back with a second record that's both tender and tough, beautiful and brutal, and simmering with invention and confidence, Martha forgot to read the rulebook.

To describe the last 6 months for Team Waterpolo as a whirlwind would be an understatement; A category five hurricane would probably be closer to the truth. It started with a chance rendezvous of three old school friends in July 2007, all sharing a desire to get back to what they did as teenagers: playing around in a band

A supremely talented mercury prize nominee with an unrivalled critical reputation teams up with an amazing guitarist/vocalist and member of a hugely influential musical clan... they write and record an album together. This is the story so far of Kathryn Williams and Neill

The final Shuffle on the month sees the limelight falling once more on one of the starry eyed success stories of South Yorkshire, as Rotherham boy wonders the Trophy Twins swagger back into Plug.

Arguably the finest musical export to ever flutter out of Rotherham, they've earmarked a role within dance music for brilliantly balanced undergro

Right from the get-go The King Blues' music has defied convention. Unafraid to mix up dub bass lines, doo-wop a cappella songs, ska rhythms, Lonnie Donegan-styled skiffle, British folk and gritty poetry, theirs is a stripped-down, hot-wired one where ukuleles, acoustic guitars and melodicas feature heavily. It is punk music as it was intended - engaging, forward-thinking, all-encompassing.

Dizzee Rascal is tearing up all the rule books and setting the music world alight with his raw talent. His thought-provoking lyrics, distinctively piercing and poignant delivery, and original production have made him one of the hottest new stars of the urban scene.

Pinch, punch, first day of the month. The classic playground mantra takes a pleasing twist as Shuffle offer up a line-up that needs the same measure just to be believed. House music superheroes and global dance doyens the Audio Bullies are poised to make their return to the Steel City, and Shuffle will be the centrepiece for their brand new live show.

Another stellar offering from Shuffle sees the return of one of the previous heroes of their Saturday night offerings, Swedish house sensation Henrik B.

One of the most exciting and on-the-edge bands of recent years, The View emerged in late 2006, releasing their debut album, Hats Off To The Buskers in early '07. A whirlwind of destruction and great tunes the View embodied all that is vital about rock ‘n' roll.

SOLANGE KNOWLES AKA SoL-AngeL

Perceptions are not always based in reality, and nobody knows this better than me. With the release of my sophomore album, SoL-AngeL & the Hadley Street Dreams (Music World Entertainment/Geffen Records), I am ready to have every listener step into my very personal field of dreams, minus the preconceived notions.

YOU will have to go a long way to find a pair of songsmiths as brilliantly original as Peggy Sue and The Pirates. Otherwise known as best buddies Rosa "REX" Slade and KatyBeth "KLAW" Young, this duo perform with just one acoustic guitar between them, but their sounds are laid with beautiful harmonies, a selection of doo-be-doos and an armful of razor sharp songs which blur the boundaries of rockabilly, blues and alternative folk

After a triumphant summer of festivals and four spectacular dates with R.E.M., the perpetually inventive Guillemots return this Autumn with an ambitious national tour. Beautifully fusing film and music in sixteen of the UK's most intriguing alternative venues, November's ‘Fishbone For A Drink' tour confirms Guillemots' reputation as pop's true trailblazers,

Alabama 3 is a pop band, a punk rock, blues and country techno situationist crypto-Marxist-Leninist electro band. We never went on X Factor or Pop Idol or Stooge Quest. We did it the old fashioned way;

Armed with heartbreaking melodies, crashing drums and a tornado of white noise, Glasvegas are the thrilling sound of young Scotland. Well-versed in rock's rich history, they marry classic 50's songwriting with the

There aren't many rock bands on this planet that wouldn't like to be regarded as unique. Of course, in these times of nostalgia and endlessly recycled ideas, very few actually deserve that description. Finland's Apocalyptica deserve it more than most.

Tinchy Stryder is a grime artist hailing from Bow, East London. Aswell as being one of the genres top solo artists he is part of the highly rated group, Ruff Sqwad.

The Saw Doctors are the latest in this strangely noble line...They are not loud or angry, or vigorously uncompromising. They have no image, message of "attitude"...

In his ten years as a professional DJ Spoony has captivated dance floors and the air-waves all over the world. His broadcasting career started on London Underground (a leading pirate radio station in the mid-nineties), a ground-breaking show on Kiss 100 was to follow as a member of the Dreem Teem with Mikee B and Timmi Magic.

The biggest night of the year is upon us as Plug celebrates New Years Eve in dramatic style. Last year saw Erol Alkan deliver an exclusive midnight set, barricading the clubbers with his inimitable elec-tech concoctions and indie swagger. 2008 sees Plug go that little bit further by bringing the man who reshaped dance music only a mere four years ago and is priming himself for similar theatrics in 2009, Mylo.
