    DJ Harvey will make yet another appearance in NYC later this month.

    There must be something that Harvey Bassett likes about New York, such is the regularity of his appearances in the city. His latest appearance will be at the bi-monthly club night of fellow disco enthusiasts Darshan Jesrani and Citizen Kane, which goes under the title of Adult Section. The duo have held a bi-monthly residency at the plush Cielo club in Manhatten's Meatpacking District since June this year, but Harvey will be the first guest booking since the night's inception. Bassett has been in the studio of late working on a project for the International Feel label, so there's even a possibility of hearing some of the fruits of his labour at the bash, which takes place on Friday 27th November. Otherwise, expect plenty of disco, Balearica, cosmic rock and other obscure nuggets from all three DJs throughout the evening.

    Leeds' Back To Basics club will raise a glass to eighteen years of clubbing with a party on Saturday 28th November.

    If you're into your house and techno, the chances are that you'll have heard of Back To Basics, the party responsible for many a hangover over the course of its long and illustrious career. Helmed by electronic music aficionado Dave Beer, the party has been responsible for bringing some of the biggest and best DJs to the Yorkshire city on a regular basis, and it doesn't look like they're going to stop any time soon. For this year's birthday bash at My House they'll be bringing back honorary resident Andrew Weatherall for yet another appearance, and this time he'll be bringing along his Wrong Meeting cohort Ivan Smagghe for the ride. When the duo are playing in a peak-time capacity, both favour a dark and trippy maximalist style, and you can be sure that they'll be pulling out plenty of suitably banging tracks during their headlining slots.

    Joining them on the bill will be Yorkshire-based indie types The Sunshine Underground and The Pigeon Detectives, who will both be digging deep into their collections for their respective DJ sets. Of course, it wouldn't be a Back To Basics without their crack team of residents, with Buckley, Ralph Lawson, James Holroyd, and Tristan De Cunha all joining Dave Beer behind the decks on the night.

    Daniel Bell and Larry Heard are set to venture south for Brazilian gigs before the month is out.

    Both artists will play at São Paulo's much-lauded D-Edge Club, which strikes a nice balance between cosy intimacy and the plush futurism that you'd normally associate with bigger venues. Its sound system is connected to LED panels that cover the entire interior structure of the building, making clubbing there an immersive experience of light and sound. All this wouldn't be much good if the DJs weren't up to scratch, but Brazilian residents are certainly in for a treat both this weekend and next.

    Daniel Bell is first up on Saturday night, making a headlining performance at the club's monthly Mothership bash. While Bell is generally known for his stripped back techno productions, he's also a connaisseur of house music, and is happy to play both styles in his DJ sets. One man that certainly knows a lot about house music is Larry Heard, a man who pioneered a more melodic and sensual strain of house during the '80s. Expect plenty of Chicago classics mixed up with more modern fare when he arrives at D-Edge on Friday 27th November.

    Trus'me is set to headline T Bar's Shoplifter bash this Sunday evening.

    The party was started back in July of this year by Craig Richards, Jamie Jones and T Bar manager Derren Smart, who all wanted somewhere to showcase their love of all things disco. Although the plan to release a special edit for every party has now been put to one side, the club night will soldier on, with Prime Numbers head honcho David Wolstencroft stepping up to take the top spot at this Sunday's event. His sophomore Trus'me full-length is set for release later this month, so expect to hear a few cuts from the record interspersed with vintage and current house and disco anthems. Richards, Jones and Smart will all provide support on the night, which should also cater to Monday's early risers looking for a quick drink due to its 6pm kick off time and free entry.

    Berlin's Watergate venue will play host to the tenth anniversary celebrations of Mike Shannon's Cynosure imprint on Saturday 28th November.

    Conceived in Montreal back at the beginning of the decade, Cynosure is the brainchild of Canadian DJ/producer Mike Shannon, who after relocating briefly to Valencia, now bases the imprint out of the German capital. The label has offered up a healthy total of 35 releases over the past ten years, spanning 12-inches from Shannon's compatriots Deadbeat and Adam Marshall, through to European mainstays such as Monolake and Sieg Über Die Sonne. Shannon himself will of course be the centre of attention come Saturday 28th November as the label takes over the twin floors of Berlin's Watergate venue. Joining him on the night is fellow Canadian and proponent of the furious four-deck mixing style, Jeff Milligan. Live electronic music meanwhile comes under representation from native pair Chic Miniature, and another duo in the form of Uruguayans Guillermo Miranda and Martin Teysera (AKA Monoblock). The supporting cast are no slouches either, with Brett Johnson and Adam Marshall being backed up by a further live show from Matt Thibideau.

    DJ Yellow and Hi-Tech² will release their debut Mindz Kontrol Ultra album next week.

    Yellow has a rich history within the French music scene, starting up Yellow Productions alongside Bob Sinclar back in '93 before going on to start Poussez!, which focused more on modern house music. While Sinclar has gone down a more commercial route, Yellow has decided that he prefers the more underground tech-house sounds, with the Mindz Kontrol Ultra project being a continuation of this passion.

    Mindz Kontrol Ultra is a collaboration with Portuguese producer Tiago Fragateiro (AKA Hi-Tech²), and their Engine of Time album sees Yellow channel a much more straight-up vibe than last year's The Intermission LP with Astrid Suryanto. Each of the eleven tracks on the record is primed for club usage, with a theme of deep and funky tech-house prevailing throughout.

    Tracklist
    01. Elle Etait La Intro
    02. No Way You Can Sleep
    03. Reflection On The Self
    04. I Know What You Need
    05. Sweet Like Sugar
    06. Ending Of Time
    07. I've Been Watching You
    08. You Are Scared
    09. Back In The Day
    10. Message To My People
    11. Thoughts Of The Old Flames

    Plastic City will release Engine Of Time on November 27th, 2009.

    Jazzanova's residency night Kaleidoskop will be touching down at Berlin's Lido venue tomorrow night.

    The long-running party's roots reach back to 1999, with its beginnings at Berlin's famed WMF club. The multi-membered Jazzanova collective have helmed the nights, which have attracted international guests like Louie Vega, Gilles Peterson, Carl Craig, Maurice Fulton and LTJ Bukem.

    Showcasing the sounds of hip-hop, house, disco, jazz and boogie that Jazzanova are renowned for championing in techno-friendly Berlin, Kaleidoskop last featured in the monthly lineup of Cookies at the start of the year. After hitting the hitting the road—and the festival circuit—for most of the summer with their new live show, Jazzanova are back in their home town, and setting up shop at popular live venue Lido.

    Saturday's re-opening will feature legendary Frankfurt DJ Michael Rütten, and a live performance by hip-hop/house/nu-jazz fusionists Feindrehstar.

    Tickets for Kaleidoskop are now available to purchase directly from RA Tickets.

    DJ Deep is set to inaugurate his Deeply Rooted label night at Rex Club on Friday 4th December.

    Although he has put his name on a few collaborative productions over the years, Cyril Etienne des Rosaies is a DJ first and foremost, with his incredibly deep knowledge of house and techno from both Europe and the US. This obsession with electronic music feeds back into his Deeply Rooted House imprint, which has issued releases from house music legends such as Kerri Chandler, K-Alexi Shelby and DJ Gregory over the course of its five year history.

    However, Deep's first Deeply Rooted party will focus more on the techno side of things, with a headlining performance from Detroit techno stalwart Robert Hood. Hood's last Parisian show was nearly two years ago, so fans of hard-edged minimalism should do their best to attend this time around. Norman Nodge is also there to represent the Berlin techno contingent, while Paris is represented by both DJ Deep and Deeply Rooted House signing Francois X.

    Surgeon and DJ Pete will once again team up for Bleep43 next month.

    The pair originally met in the '90s while Surgeon was a resident DJ at Berlin's Tresor club, and after watching each other play and discussing the finer points of techno, Surgeon asked Pete to join him at Tresor. The duo would often play alternate hour-long slots and mix up plenty of different styles throughout the night. Surgeon and Pete last spun together for Bleep43's December 2008 party, and the night was such a resounding success that promoter Toby Frith instantly agreed to have them back.

    The second room, meanwhile, will offer an alternative for those who like their electronic music a little deeper, with Patrice Scott heading over from his temporary Berlin abode to headline. The Detroit-based producer and DJ has been around on the city's local scene since the '90s, but the last few years have seen his international stock rise exponentially due to his deliciously deep house and techno releases on his own Sistrum imprint. Joining him will be Amsterdam's Newworldaquarium, who has been responsible for a raft of hypnotic anthems over the course of the past decade, such as the recently reissued "Trespassers." Expect plenty of similarly-angled murky house when he takes to Corsica's turntables.

    Marcel Dettmann will bring his skeletal techno sound to Argentina for one night only this evening.

    The East German-born DJ and producer has been a resident DJ at Berlin's Berghain club for the last ten years, steadily sculpting a tough rhythmic sound that he's also committed to wax on both the in-house Ostgut Ton label as well as his own MDR imprint. Tonight he'll be taking leave of the cavernous venue to visit Buenos Aires' intimate Cocoliche space, where he'll headline the Monsters Of Techno party.

    The 300-capacity club has become one of the top spots to see some of the top acts in the house and techno scene over the past few years, recently hosting performances from the likes of DJ Koze, Seth Troxler, Bruno Pronsato and Len Faki. Tonight's bash will see support come from local talent Ismael Pinkler as well as Cocoliche resident Udolph, and will cruise all the way through until 9am on Friday morning.
