It's Carnival weekend and we're going in hard with our biggest lineup yet - and we're not stopping til 6am!
Headlining is Jackmaster - part of the Numbers crew from Glasgow and selector extraordinaire. With two Fabric Room 1 takeovers under their belt as well as regular parties in Glasgow that are the envy of London-based clubbers, Numbers are a force to be reckoned with. The label, comprising various Glasgow-based labels under one all-conquering moniker, has so far seen crucial releases from the likes of Rustie and Kavsrave as well as Deadboy's peerless anthem 'If U Want Me'. Jackmaster is an incredible DJ, and his tightly mixed, eclectic sets have taken him to Fabric, Sonár and Melt Festival in Germany over the last few months. Drawing on classic house, techno and electro, as well as contemporary UK bass music, while always keeping his eye on the rave, his style is a perfect match for what we do at Tactile and we frankly can't wait to have him play for us.
Stream Jackmaster's awesome Sonár set here to enjoy, among other things, the best transition we've heard all year (from DJ Gregory 'Dama S Salon' to Kraftwerk 'Computer Love'): http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2010/06/strea ... e-set-s-na

Also in attendance will be Slackk, a recent signing to Numbers and the man behind pirate radio archive Grimetapes. Expect tough beats somewhere between House, Funky, and Grime - that'll be Eski House then - and plenty of his own exclusive material.

Repping the techno end of things are MB and CB from the London-based Colony night. Having brought Scuba, TVO, Arne Weinberg and Millie & Andrea to London these boys know a thing or two about techno and dubstep and we're looking forward to them tearing up the wee upstairs room at The Horse & Groom.

As if that's not enough we're going to be treated to a 'birthday Lex' set by music critic Alex Macpherson, whose writing appears regularly in The Guardian, FACT and Metro. Champagne at the ready...
In the downstairs room Discovery meets Shameless Disco with a headline slot from Dissident helmsman Andy Blake. And with all three rooms going til 6 in the morning, it's going to be a hell of a night.
