I'm pleased to say that there are some great developments brewing in the local clubbing scene at the moment,

, and hopefully I will be able to reveal all very soon.

Of course here will be first place to find out any exciting news.

My first trip to Dublin was eventful to say the least and I will challenge anyone who aims to go anywhere in Ireland and have "a quiet one" – I just don't think it's in their nature!

This weekend while you are all basking in the soaring temperatures be sure to spare a thought for me as I head to sub-zero Poland! To be honest I'm really looking forward to it as they really do have some amazing clubs over there and they sure do love their upfront house music. No doubt I will have some antics to report next week.

On to matters here and Fazethree once more team up with Paparazzi to host Walkabout in Wolverhampton.

With a boosted sound system on the terrace they have drafted in garage nation legend Mike Ruffcut Lloyd who has been at the top of the sound for over a decade. Brett Maverick and Jay B join him plus there's an array of cheap drinks to tempt you further.

Another option for you in Wolverhampton tonight is Lush at Gorgeous Bar, who again bring the bass with Low Steppa headlining.

More local bass sounds can be found at Monty's in Sedgley for the return of Judgement Night. There are free CD and vodka shooter giveaways on the night and DJs include Craigy Boy and Chris K.

Chirpse wisely cancelled their event a few weeks back due to the big freeze but are back to host The Academy in Stourbridge tomorrow night. This should give the opportunity for all their following to catch headline act DJ Luck & MC Neat alongside De Contrebande and Dr Love.

Staying in Stourbridge and Filth Party used to host some of the best events the town has ever witnessed. Well, they're back this Saturday to re-live all those moments and more as they've assemble a stellar line-up to fire out all the dirty electro classics.

DJs include Will Bailey headlining alongside Rossco, AJ Daniels and Andy Styler. They've also added a second room supplying deep tech house.

Moving into Birmingham and the aptly named Second City host their premier party of 2012 at The Bulls Head in Moseley.

They always serve up forward thinking music on the decks. This time you're treated to Tom Special Interests, Attison, NJ Maxwell and Luke Bliss.

One for a road trip this weekend is The Secret Party Project's Masquerade Mayhem at Butterly Grange in Derby. Set in fantastic grounds this attracts people from all over the country to experience a full-scale production where no expense is spared.

Headlining this time round is Matthias Tanzmann from Circo Loco/DC10 fame and support includes Joe Quinn, The Futuristic Polar Bears and Jimmy Kennedy.

Have a great weekend guys – see you on the other side!
