An Evening with Session Victim | Fri 2 Sep | Hare & Hounds | £10
Session Victim head to the Hare and Hounds for a three-hour, vinyl-only set. With roots in soul and disco, Session Victim are an endlessly innovative house and techno DJ/production duo with big ideas from small German town Lüneberg. Digging deep into a vinyl collection representing several decades of hip hop, funk and soul, as well as an assortment of rare house and techno records only ever committed to wax, there is nothing that Session Victim enjoy more than unearthing treasures buried deep in the dusty vaults of dance subterranea. See our feature here.

Josh Butler | Sat 3 Sep | Amusement 13 | £10
To label northern talent Josh Butler as a ‘rising star’ frankly does him a disservice, as he has already achieved more in his short career than many DJs could ever dream of. Boasting a multitude of releases on labels Noir, Cajual and more, receiving support from the likes of Pete Tong and Annie Mac and winning both DJ Mag Award and Beatport Award in 2014, Josh Butler is poised on the launch pad of a career that could take him to dizzying heights. Come catch him before takeoff this Saturday.

02.31: Toucán and Holy Goof | Sat 3 Sep | Rainbow | From £7
Tech-house from the south and bassline from the midlands meet up on the roof garden. If there’s one quality that the music of dance duo Toucán and the grime-influenced Holy Goof has in common, it’s bass – and lots of it. This weekend, move to the music you more feel than hear at 02.31’s last summer showdown before autumn inevitably arrives.
