Let's kick things off in Cannock as DJ Keeko returns for a night of Urban Flavas at
, Cannock. Always a busy one with a great atmosphere and drinks prices to boot.
Whatever at Gorgeous Bar in Wolverhampton is set to take you back to the Old Skool as they dust off the trusty technics 1210's for a night of rare vinyl.
Expect a mash up of some all time classics ranging from house, garage, speed garage, electro, bassline and break beats. Djs include Davey Boy, Joe Campbell and Chris Steele.
Nude have quickly built a reputation for sophisticated clubbing and now they present their premier party of 2013 in their new home, The Vaults, Birmingham.
DJs include Marc Spence, Alex Parkin and Danny Jones firing out old skool House & Garage, Commercial & Club Classics with a hint of old skool R & B.
Moving onto Saturday and there's only one place to head for your local bassline fix and that's Monty's in Sedgley.
Bassline Bonanza always draws the crowds with tracks that make the speakers wobble! DJs include Craigy Boy, Crezza and Woz DJ.
To take in panoramic views of the second city, sample a decadent cocktail or the fizzy stuff if you're that way inclined, then The Mile High Club at Marco Pierre Whites is for you! The destination for Birmingham's jet set has a sublime soundtrack supplied by One Four and friends.
They say that the best things in life are for free and Uber have more than delivered!
They're throwing a free party at the Bulls Head in Moseley and you know they never disappoint being the purveyors of very fine House music duly supplied by Paul Griff, Gary Ward and Richie Barthez.

I have my first gig of 2013 tonight and what a way to start the year! I'm heading to Germany, Pacha Munich to be exact and it's safe to say I can't wait as it is always an honour to grace the decks at one of the world's greatest clubbing institutions!
