Ryan Hemsworth will embark on a tour of Europe starting at the end of this month.

The Canadian artist has been on quite a hot streak since we profiled him for a Breaking Through feature late last year, including a well-received EP on Wedidit and an appearance on Friends of Friends—not to mention countless remixes. He's made that splash with his distinct take on hip-hop, which blends ambient and ethereal melodies with trap percussion, and he's especially infamous for his bootleg edits of pop and R&B tracks, like last year's breakout remix of "Thinking About You" by Frank Ocean.

He'll make his next trip to Europe under the banner of One Man Boy Band. His first stop will see him land in Copenhagen for Distortion festival on May 29th, before hitting Paris and Liege in the following days. On June 1st, he'll play an RBMA-sponsored show in Warsaw with Lapalux, and then he'll open for Toro Y Moi in London at KOKO on June 4th. From there, he'll hit Edinburgh at Sneaky Pete's, followed by a show in Amsterdam at Trouw on the 7th. His final date is an appearance at The Playground Festival in London, taking place on the 8th at Brixton Academy.

93 Feet East is set to reopen.

A raid on the London club this past December resulted in the revocation of its alcohol and entertainment licence, after police arrested nine people, including two on suspicion of drug dealing and five for possession of drugs. As we reported in December, the raid was part of Operation Condor, a widespread police focus on licensing offences, and saw a total of 175 officers descend on the Brick Lane venue.

"We are delighted to announce that on 17th May 2013, Thames Magistrates' Court allowed 93 Feet East's appeal against the decision of Tower Hamlets council on 7th January 2013 to close 93 Feet East," read a statement on the club's Facebook page. "93 Feet East, which has been at the heart of Brick Lane's evening economy since the year 2000 as part of The Old Truman Brewery, is free to reopen immediately."

The venue, which hosts both club nights and live music performances, has been home to parties such as the popular Sunday event Fuse.

Disco Nihilist will play four live shows in Europe over the coming weeks.

Mike Taylor is known for his rugged, hardware-focused take on house and techno. After a string of EPs for Construction Paper, he's found a home on Running Back, which released his most recent 12-inch, Moving Forward. After playing his first European shows at Robert-Johnson and Panorama Bar last year, Taylor will return to perform debut shows in the UK, Belgium and Holland. His first gig will take place at the Take Five Cafe in Bristol on Friday, May 24th, at an Idle Hands showcase that also features Rhythmic Theory, The Kelly Twins, Jay L and Chris Farrell.

Next up is a London date on Sunday, May 26th, for a Don't Be Afraid label night: Farrell and the Kelly Twins will again support, as will Semtek and Nick Craddock. From there he'll head to Belgium on June 1st for a Nachtwerk party with resident Red D (of We Play House), Kiani & Legion and Niles. The brief tour wraps up in Amsterdam the following night, with an Undercurrent event that also features Gerd Janson, Prins Thomas and Mugwump.

Lovebox and Red Bull Music Academy will throw a party with Nile Rodgers and Chic in London on June 14th.

Rodgers has been in the news a bit more often than usual lately, thanks to his involvement in the upcoming Daft Punk album and his appearance on its first single "Get Lucky". But he's best known, of course, for both his production work on classic tracks such as "Like A Virgin," and as the leader of seminal late 70s disco band Chic. It's that group, responsible for hits like "Le Freak" and "Good Times," that he'll play with at The Forum.

Seth Troxler and Chicago house mainstay Derrick Carter will both spin disco sets, while Phuture member DJ Pierre will rep the mid-80s Chicago acid house sound. Nicky Siano, a former resident of storied NYC disco club Studio 54, will round out the lineup along with RBMA alumni Rebel Rebel.

Initial details of Parklife Weekender's official afterparties have been revealed.

The two-day festival will take place in Manchester on the weekend of June 8th and 9th (we recently named it as one of our top 10 festivals for that month.) After the festival wraps up each night, Parklife organisers and local promoters will throw afterparties at venues across the city, with Gorilla, The Deaf Institute and Joshua Brooks all involved.

Saturday sees Dyed Soundorom headline a party co-promoted by Drop The Mustard and Kaluki at Gorilla, with George FitzGerald playing at Joshua Brooks. On Sunday Adam Shelton and T.Williams will DJ a From Manchester With Love event at Deaf Institute, while Crosstown Rebels chief Damian Lazarus tops the bill over at Gorilla, with drum & bass veteran Andy C appearing at Ruby Lounge. There's a big lineup at Hoya:Hoya's takeover of Roadhouse, with Jackmaster, Krystal Klear and Illum Sphere all set to play. Over at Joshua Brooks, Andrés will bring his hip-hop-tinged take on house to Hi Ku's bash. Most parties feature unnamed "secret guests," whose identities will be revealed at the last minute.

Tickets for the festival are available here on RA.

AKAAKAROAR! takes Levon Vincent to Southampton

Shangaan Electro has announced a tour of dance workshops around the UK through July.

The South African collective first made waves in the international community back in 2010 with a self-titled compilation on Honest Jon's profiling their specific brand of uptempo club tracks. The disc was later followed by a star-studded remix album called Shangaan Shake. The music—reaching up to 180 BPM—is usually accompanied by a distinctive style of dance as integral to the scene as the beats themselves. They'll show off those moves on their cross-continental jaunt.

The Shangaan Electro crew—including producers Nozinja and Tshetsha Boys, plus vocalists Tiyiselani and Nkata Mawewe—will travel around the UK, both performing live and teaching people how to do the genre's unique dance style. The instructive tour will hit Bristol, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield. Shangaan will also appear at Dance Nations Dalston and Shoreditch Festival in London.

During that month, the group will also head across Europe in between their workshop dates. They'll make stops at Amsterdam's Pitch Festival, Inspire Festival in Liempde and Metropolis in Rotterdam, Switzerland's Paléo and Sweden's Clandestino Festival, as well as a club date in Stockholm.

Shangaan Electro to hold dance workshops in the UK

DJ Nature has two UK gigs coming up later in May.

Milo Johnson originally hails from the UK—in the 80s, he was part of Bristol group The Wild Bunch, performing under the name DJ Milo. Later that decade, he moved to New York City to pursue his love of house and disco. After founding the Nature Boy imprint, he went quiet through much of the 90s while raising his family. In 2010, Johnson reappeared with several releases on Golf Channel and Tokyo's Jazzy Sport, culminating in the release of his LP Return Of The Savage (and a rather excellent RA podcast, if we may say so ourselves).

First, Johnson will hit London for a Thunder party at the Dance Tunnel on May 17th. A week later, on the 24th, he'll touch down in Leeds to play alongside Leon Vynehall at The Garage for a #notsosilent event.

You can buy tickets for the Leeds event on RA.
