Twisted Pepper, Dublin Saturday 10pm €15 01-8734800

All three headliners at this month's Electric Shock session could probably stuff Twisted Pepper on their own, so you can imagine the crush in prospect tomorrow night. Continuing the weekend's Detroit takeover in the capital (Weapons of Mass Distraction has DJ Bone and Terence Parker in the frame for Friday), Planet E's Kenny Larkin will be demonstrating why stand-up comedy's loss is techno's gain with tracks from last year's thrilling Keys, Strings, Tambourinesalbum and more.

Larkin will be joined upstairs by Haçienda veteran Greg Wilson, who hits the decks after an early evening chat at the venue on music past, present and future.

Downstairs, it’s the return of minimal queenpin Cassy to Dublin. The DJ born Catherine Britton has released cuts for labels such as Gigolo, Perlon and Mental Groove, and has collaborated with Luciano, Steve Bug, Matthew Jonson, Ricardo Villablobos and Swayzak. The local connections are provided by Simon Conway (upstairs) and Dan McElligott (downstairs).
