Big thanks to you guys, who through your generous checkout donations have raised over £14k for Macmillan - look how excited this made us and them. 

This Weekend

Venerable Manchester venue Mint Lounge turns 10 this weekend, whilst we spoke to edit master Kon ahead of a date in the same city. Across the Pennines RBMA's Saturday showcase at Canal Mills looks special, with Leeds also reverberating to the sounds of Butch and Mar-T (listen to the mix he did for us below) on Friday at Mint Club.

We've caught up with two of the stars in London this weekend, Roger Sanchez who plays MOS and Watermat who heads to the Qube Project, whilst also down south Mistajam heads to Bath and Detroit Swindle is at Southampton's Junk.

Coming Up

House music fans will be excited about Voodoo in Glasgow with Secondcity and Circus in Liverpool with Ten Walls, with Uber's monstrous Birthday coming up in Carlisle, all in the next few weeks. We've also had a look at what to expect from the relenting juggernaut that is Motion down in Bristol next month.

Fleetwood Mac are heading on tour, but not playing Glastonbury; the Proclaimers mind are definitely playing Belladrum. Much sooner is Gorgon City, who have plenty of dates this month for their Sirens Tour. And NYE and NYD draw ever nearer, and we looked at what UKF have in store whilst got excited about the LWE afterparty with Maya Jane Coles and oodles more.

That's your fix for this week, I'm getting the hell out of dodge.
