So, you’re nursing a New Years Eve hangover and you’re on the mother of all comedowns. You’re trouncing around searching for the nearest kebab shop, trying desperately to recall the events that passed, your bottom lip bleeding from mindless gurning. You don’t know whether the rumble in your tummy is saying ‘no doner’ or ‘yes please.’ What better way to pick yourself back up again than to give the kebab a resounding ‘V’ and pop on down to Ruby Blue in Leicester Square, for the Bless the Funk and Glamhouse New Years Day Party. So you don’t like house? Bah… that doesn’t matter, because there’ll be plenty of funk and R ‘n’ B. So you don’t like funk and R ‘n’ B? Bah… that doesn’t matter, because there’ll be plenty of house. Forget musical chairs my dance luminaries; at this party everyone’s a winner. The mighty Clemy Riley is top of the agenda, the one-man-band of the DJ set. From funky, chunky basslines to soulful ballads, Riley’s mixed and mashed it all. He currently has his fingers in the pie of production, little surprise when you consider a career spanning almost ten years. Together with LikeMindedPeople, Riley will be bringing the masses to Soul Heaven and beyond. They were both members of the Fanatix, delivering house to the masses like a bullet from a gun, and both Sy-Sez and the mighty Neil Pierce are also pumping up for Glamhouse at Ruby Blue. They’ll be joined by the Greek god himself Marky D, delivering everything from prog-house to tech-house, deep-house to bringing down the house! Furthermore, stepping forth for Bless the Funk will be an array of resident DJs. Sammy (Confunktion), D Boogie and Shandaman will be joined by none other than DJ Knowledge - bringing more mash-ups than an East End pie shop. From humble beginnings, DJ Knowledge and Sammy (Confunktion) have brought forward everything from afro-beat, breakbeat and house. On top of this fine array of luminaries, DJ Vibes and DJ Chilli Source will also be supplying beats to all and sundry. So say hello to the second of January with your second hangover of the year. 1st January 2008 Ruby Blue Leicester Place Leicester Square London WC2H 7BP

Also performing on the night will be Scotland’s answer to the Chemical Brothers, electro-dance extraordinaire MYLO. A live DJ set from the Scottish luminary is a tantalizing proposition, especially as ‘ol Myles has been laying low since the storm cloud of admiration surrounding ‘Destroy Rock & Roll’ blew the dance music scene apart.

Arriving on the back of their December tour supporting the Chemical Brothers are Turnmills favourites Simian Mobile Disco. Having had a successful year supporting Klaxons, the highly-regarded remix duo will be playing an exclusive midnight set at Together.

The guys are set to be Saturday regulars for the Together nights next year. With events taking place in the backroom expect a whole host of the together regulatè to join in shenanigans with Turnmills newest residents. All-in-all there’ll be twelve hours of madness and mayhem, including giant party games and Jelly and Ice-cream to the sound of Together Allstars vs. Hoxton.

Another night, another partay. 'Lock your spouses in the houses', as the proverb goes, 'and pull a Christmas Cracker'. For 'Bugz in the Attic' and 'Kerri Chandler' are hitting Brixton’s Bodymusic Christmas Party on December 8th. Chandler makes his return to Bodymusic with his usual blend of house beats and garage lay-downs, which have seen him travel more miles than Phileas Fogg in his quest to stardom. Of course Chandler started messing with basslines as a wee New Jersey nine-year old, and is as experienced at his game as Ron Jeremy is to the porn-industry. Expect the usual energy driven toons from a globe-trotter with more ‘va va voom’ than a Meth addicted Greyhound. Down in the basement of Plan B, Bugz in the Attic will be playing a scorcher to warm the winter cockles of all and sundry. Hot? Damn right; last Crimbo they singed Santa's sack and crack. The broken-beats posse are comprised of a chaotic bunch of dance luminaries - shining a light brighter than an A-lister’s porcelain veneers. Album ‘Back in the Dog House’ featured all manner of uppers, downers and all arounders – from love songs and conscious tracks, to escapist tunes; some with a pinch of 80’s soul, others with a heady mix of dub and hip-hop. One can only expect total insanity from this motley crew of DJs and MCs. Plan B can stand proud, chest puffed – with its 600 capacity spread over two floors, a killer dancefloor and newly revamped Funktion One sound system. (Tis most blinding). As well as Chandler and the Attic boys, there’ll be guest and resident DJs. Christmas time, mistletoe... wine, whatever floats your boat really. 9.00pm-5.00am Plan B, 418 Brixton Road, London, SW9 7AY Tickets: £12 (door) Tickets information: info@bodymusic.org / 07989 870 117

LA based four-piece Ok Go are busy casting their own spells especially for the Cabaret, with a one-off event.

Add to this the feather-boa infused, eye-liner tinged Parisian rock of Fancy, and the bill already surpasses the Cabaret offered at the Kit Kat Club. Goose, the Belgian electonica outfit will be mashing their unique array of sounds and influences including AC/DC. Revellers can smell before they buy a beverage with specially designed hand-blown nosing tubes. Bah… Who needs Liza Minelli at a Cabaret anyway? 8.30pm – 2.00am Koko, 1a Camden High Street, Camden, London Tickets: £10 Tickets available: www.koko.uk.com
