Retroforward: Mark Seven | Sat 24 Mar | Hare & Hounds | £13.20
Like many young adults of his generation, Mark Seven got caught up in the acid house hysteria of the late 80s and early 90s. This inspired him to curate his own events in the capital, but his love of dance music led him away from London on a journey across the US and Europe to his current base in Stockholm, creating his cult classic Black Lodge mixtapes, conceiving Parkway Records and putting together tonnes of great music along the way. Mark Seven is a part of dance music history, so don’t miss your chance to nab one of just 120 tickets to this intimate show. See our feature here. www.skiddle.com

Resonate: Pearson Sound | Sat 24 Mar | Courtyard | £13.45
David Kennedy goes by several names: Pearson Sound, Ramadanman, Maurice Donovan… It’s testament to the skill of this man that he can continually shed aliases he’s achieved success with and release music under new, unknown monikers, confident that his music speaks for itself. He’s a post-dubstep pioneer and co-founder of Hessle Audio, weaving together disparate sonic textures in his music while always keeping a lookout for promising talents rising through the ranks of the UK’s underground scene. Whichever name you know him by, you know David Kennedy – and if you don’t, then get to know this Saturday. Also starring Adam Shelton, Jack D and Profex. www.skiddle.com 

Elements: Ansome | Sat 24 Mar | Monastery | £14.55
Jagged, distorted noise-bombs from techno troublemaker Ansome, UK-based DJ and producer with a penchant for relentless, bruising beats. No-frills venue Monastery is the perfect fit for Ansome’s raw, bass-driven sound, just as Malika Maria’s artwork (which has been described as “freaky and mentally disturbing”) is the perfect backdrop to the darkness his music encapsulates. Bringing sound, lights and visuals together to create a truly holistic, immersive clubbing experience, local brand Elements have really outdone themselves with this one. Also performing are Rebekah, Dark Chambers, theyarenotlocal, and Matt Tilley. www.skiddle.com
