New month, new ideas. As ever we're here to provide your inspiration, including our monthly podcast which this time round features Sankeys stalwarts Jozef K and Winter Son on guest mix duties alongside loads more music - listen here.

This Weekend

Up in Edinburgh Joy Orbison and Boddika go head to head (check our round up of their individual finest moments), with Soundclash tearing Newcastle a new one with their slick D&B. Leeds' Faversham's great November (read about that here) starts with Subb-An and wAFF on Friday, one night later Stepahn Bodzin heads to Liverpool (we spoke to him, weirdly, about skydiving).

Techno fans in the capital can rejoice too; Paco Osuna will be obliterating Electric Brixton, with Midland's bass drenched techno in Southampton's Junk - check out the rest of their month as well.

Coming Up

Nicky Romero is heading to the UK soon (London and Manchester both eye catching dates), so we picked up a mix from supporting starlet Arno Cost. Cream's Boxing Day party is HUGE, topped by none other than Laidback Luke. A little earlier the same city bounces to a completely different beat with hip-hop firestarters MOP (watch their 'Ante Up' below).

We're also looking forward to Cast's Christmas gig in London, Futureboogie rocking Bristol's Motion, Catz N Dogz (who gave us this great interview) in Sheffield, LWE's huge New Year's Day party and Duke Dumont headlining Bolton's Macron Stadium. Yes, you do need to start thinking about 2015...

Last but not least, we're giving away a £150 Boxfresh voucher on our Instagram - head here for that.
