Weekend Clubbing Roundup: London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Chicago, Taipei

We're almost just about recovered from one of the most crazy techno weekends London has ever seen (god we love bank holidays) but the top techno talent just keeps coming. We've got a few events to tell you about for the upcoming weekend starting tonight in our home town

London

Scottish based Sleaze Records teams up with London promoters Tilanbiik bring you a label showcase at the Crucifix Lane Warehouse. The label's boss, Hans Bouffmyhre, is joined by the prestigious talents of CLR's Monoloc and Stockholm Ltd boss, Pär Grindvik.

Berlin

Again we're talking tonight, but this time we're switching to Suicide Circus, Berlin, for the Sonic Groove label night. The boss, Adam X, is accompanied by fellow SG artists Dino Sabatini and Diagenetic Origin.

As is the case with Berlin events, there's no pre sale tickets, doors open at midnight and it's first come first serve. Full event info can be found on Resident Advisor

Copenhagen

After further cementing his place as one of our absolute favourite DJs last weekend, Marcel Dettmann heads to Copenhagen for Culture Box's bi monthly collaboration with the Berlin techno mecca that is Berghain. The Ostgut Ton artist will be in control from 11pm right through till the end.

Chicago

The Smart Bar plays host to a true techno giant as Oktave and Little White Earbuds present Chris Liebing. The CLR boss gets support from Perc Trax's Jeff Derringer and Chicago local Qbot.

There's no tickets for this one so arrive early to avoid missing out. Full info on the Facebook Event Page

Taipei

Smoke Machine put together some great parties, we just wish they were a little bit closer to home. Saturday night is no exception as they welcome Prologue Records artist and one half (with Donato Dozzy) of the outstanding Voices From The Lake, Neel.

Just like the Culture Box, Neel will be on from the start, right through till the lights get turned on. For all the info on the event and links for tickets head to the Facebook Event Page

Dasha Rush - Relativismi [Sonic Groove 1150]

In the world of techno you get DJs who are producers and you get DJs who are artists. Dasha Rush is definitely the latter. Originally from Russia, her journey has taken her around the world to places like Paris, Japan, London and now Berlin. Her early work saw her collaborate with theatre performers as part of gallery exhibitions. It was here that the connection with the emotional side of techno blossomed.

The last few years have seen Dasha set up her own label, Fullpanda Records, and sub label, Hunger To Create. As well as appearing on labels like Tok Tok, Gynoid Audio, Temp Records and Sonic Groove as well as releasing music with Lars Hemmerling under the name of Lada.

It's Adam X's Sonic Groove label which she returns to for this next release. 'Relativismi' is made of 3 tracks of encapsulating techno. Waves of dreamy soundscapes come and go to transport you to a completely alternative state of mind. Patient programming adds to the tension stirs emotions deep from within. Check out the samples below
