Elevate have found a new home in Missoula in Cannock and drafted in the first ladies of the Midlands house music scene Elizabeth Jay and Becki De Funk to lay down the funky house tonight. Kami C joins them on percussion.

Bad Habit continue their Midlands series of events tonight at the Glasshouse in Stourbridge featuring Alex Parkin, The Housemonkeyz and Davey Boy for an evening of Jackin Bass.

Get set for the madness that is magic door tonight at Lab11, Birmingham. Think Glitter, face paint, wigs, headbands, feathers, moustaches, capes, masks and all manner props & disguises and you're on the right track! Music is supplied by Jukes of Hazard and Dean Ferrino.

Over the last three years WHATEVER has grown into one of Wolverhampton's most successful and consistent club nights. They've made the bold move to The Warehouse, Wolverhampton. Launching tonight with DJs Ill Phill, Danny Jones and Chris Steele as they continue their assault on all things bass led!

Gorgeous Fridays offer free entry before midnight and drinks from £1 with Djs Wayne H, Lisa Sharred and Rob Cook in control of the House to Garage Anthems. I'll be local tonight playing at The Crown, Bridgnorth for YOLO alongside Danny Brain and Toby Paton. Always bustling in there so looking forward to laying down the House grooves.

Into Saturday and Moochers in Stourbridge bring you All Funk'd Up with a great admission, drinks prices and vocal funky house from DJs Dave Butler, Paul Needham, Brett Allsopp and Jay Bridge.

There's a free party at the Slug & Lettuce, Brindley Place, Birmingham as James Blond plays a Disco & Classics paying homage to the legendary Chic – good times!

Dukeboxx are launching at Sutton Coldfield's brand new nightclub – Rumour. Setting its stall by showcasing some of the best DJ talent from Birmingham. Marc Spence headlines this time around.

The Prince Albert, Wolverhampton officially launches its new look terrace with a cocktail party and an exclusive live performance from Joe Whelan who shot to fame is this years X Factor.

Walkabout, Wolverhampton have stepped up their pace on Saturday nights with booking some great DJs whom are taking advantage of the fantastic outdoor space they have at their disposal. Hannah Wants makes a visit alongside Matt Sherrington.

Hectic one for me again but no complaints here as I head to Vanity in Tamworth to perform alongside Dax on Sax and the sublime vocals of Ethan Jay. It's a brilliant new 'Live' concept and hopefully many of you will be able to catch it soon over the coming months!

Then it's straight down south to Stansted airport to catch an early flight to Budapest where I'll be playing at the official after party for the Formula One Grand Prix on Sunday. Sure you can imagine I'm rather excited about this one but please check back next week for all the exclusive pictures and gossip
