S-ence returns to the Cuba St Tavern Courtyard featuring Jasper James from Glasgow, this is a strictly limited intimate dancefloor experience not to be missed.

Jasper James is synonymous with long sets and an innate ability to read a crowd. Playing the likes of Fabric, Circoloco, WHP, Glasgow's very own Sub Club.

It's impossible to define his sound, switching between heavy, swing-fuelled house, fizzing techno tools and twitchy minimal wig-outs. Releasing on labels ranging from Optimo Trax and ESP Institute through to No Art, as well as his own Mitchell Street Records imprint.

Make an evening of it and come for a late afternoon drink or meal - and get into the groove when the beats start.

Early doors, early night.
