    What? If you’re at a loose end tomorrow then head on down to one of our favourite club nights, White Heat, to see L.A. band Fool’s Gold who have been taking the capital by storm recently. They’ve been likened in the Guardian to what Talking Heads would have sounded like if they had listened to African music instead of funk. Oh and their lyrics are in Hebrew. We loved them at SXSW last year.

    Memory Tapes, Weird Tapes, Memory Cassette or Dayve Hawk. Whatever he chooses to call himself this man from New Jersey knows how to produce beautiful, intelligent dance music. That much we are sure of thanks to a number of mixtapes, remixes and then the joyous event that was Memory Tapes’ debut album ‘Seek Magic’, which was nothing short of a phenomenon in our books. But can he cut it live? Well that is what we’re here to see. // more
