A standard four-hour Sunday night session with either the Sensu or Sunday Circus DJs would be enough to unleash a wave of sickies across the city come Monday morning.

As it is, the legendary local crews are preparing to join forces for a quite spectacular party, spanning 12 hours and taking in two venues. It all kicks off on Sunday at The Courtyard, the spiritual home of the infamous techno all-dayer that has been the scourge of workplaces for almost ten years. There, under the towering brick square that gives the bar its name, Sub Club residents Barry Price and Junior – also known by their nom de guerre Sensu – will team up with Affi Koman and Tricky of the home side to beat a willing crowd into submission with a feast of proper, pummeling techno.

When it gets to 11pm, the fun moves to the Sub Club. Same DJs, different vibes: things are sure to get cranked up a notch as the four DJs take their charges on a voyage into some of the genre’s darker corners. Of course, nobody who witnesses that is going anywhere near an office on Monday. Sensu and Sunday Circus: destroying the west of Scotland’s productivity for nine years.

• Sunday Circus with Sensu, Sunday, The Courtyard, 3pm – 11pm, £9

• Sensu vs Sunday Circus, Sunday, Sub Club, 11pm – 3am, £3/£6

DJ Paypal

DJ Paypal is trolling all of us. His name and public persona - and many of his statements - are laced with irony and have been crafted to confuse the common listener. It’s been four years since he became a reasonably big underground name, but he remains elusive: choosing to hide his face behind sunglasses, a cap and a t-shirt wrapped around his head like a beat-peddling Bedouin

Paypal, who was born in North Carolina but moved to Berlin a few years ago, mostly plays a strain of manic dance music from Chicago known as footwork. It came out of the Windy City in the ‘80s, and emerged from juke and straight-up house – neither were as conducive to the wild, twisting-and-turning styles of dance popular among teenagers at the time.

“I first heard [footwork] around 2009 through some weird blog I can’t even remember the name of,” he told Pitchfork in November. “It was instantly the dopest thing. I was playing drums in bands and listening to electronic music on the side, and then I started playing footwork at high school house parties—people would go insane even though they didn’t know what was going on. We would have some crazy shows.”

Variously described as “playful but undeniably sincere” and “joyful and confounding,” Paypal’s music is a mish-mash of styles and influences that is never less than fascinating: prepare for another one of those crazy shows tomorrow night when he hits the Sub Club, with Bushido and Greenman in support.

Cut Chemist

One of the most celebrated alternative rap groups to emerge in the ’90s, Jurassic 5 are hip-hop royalty. Their breakup and subsequent reformation – which marked 20 years in the game for the inventive outfit – was notable by the absence of Cut Chemist, the DJ and producer who was one of the group’s main creative forces. This gig marks the 10th anniversary of his seminal solo work The Audience’s Listening, and while it’s an early show it’s well worth checking out for those interested in boning up on their hip-hop history. Support comes from Glaswegian collective The Temple of Hip-Hop, in the form of Steg G and “freestyle master” Wee D.

• Cut Chemist, tomorrow, O2 ABC, 7pm – 10.30pm, £17.50

Mad Chef’s Audio Beef

Bloc’s self-proclaimed Mad Chef Danny McLaren is a man of extremes. When he’s not being filmed shouting at brisket, he’s putting on nights like Audio Beef: a weird and wonderful mashup that brings the worlds of street food and banging tunes together. Saturday’s birthday instalment is a celebration of acid house – that heady early ‘90s movement that emerged from Chicago and took dance music in previously-unheard-of psychedelic directions. McLaren will be dishing out delights like Kimchi Ramen and rum-soaked pork ribs, and mixing (and sampling, we’re sure) the Buckfast-infused ASBO Jelly and Mezcal cocktails… all the while queueing up his favourite squelchy acid house bangers from the comfort of the kitchen. If that doesn’t make him a man of many talents, then show me one.
