There isn’t a person on the planet who isn’t familiar with Groove Armada’s 1999 classic I See You Baby. Not a single soul. It is a song that was battered into our collective consciousness when it was released – it was inescapable both here and abroad that year – and it has stayed there, through its use in car adverts, takeaway jingles, and goodness knows how many other commercial agreements. Sex sells, and with those magic seven words Tom Findlay and Andy Cato created an advertising juggernaut that they’re still dining out on to this day.

It even allowed them to go into semi-retirement, as Cato explained to the Guardian last summer. “For the past 10 years I’ve lived in France and worked as a farmer,” he said. “but we still DJ and make music together. It’s a strange double life between cows and grains and nightclubs.”

“When we come together to DJ there’s a real sense of solidarity,” his partner Findlay said. “Particularly because it’s just the two of us up on stage. We’ll always be more mates than colleagues.” It is that brotherhood, that bond, that ensures that Saturday’s show at SWG3 will be more than just two guys playing some records in a room. One of the seminal dance acts in history are back, playing music together, and if that isn’t worthy of your Saturday night then I don’t know what is. Be there.

• Groove Armada DJ Set, Saturday, SWG3, 10pm – 2am, £15

Wiley

Speaking of seminal, the east London MC Wiley touches down in Glasgow midweek on the latest leg of his Godfather Tour. Variously described as “the king of grime,” “grime’s Don Corleone,” and “the high priest of Grime,” Richard Cowie is more than just a legend of the genre. He is the genre. He forged the nascent style with his bare hands. Gave birth to acts like Dizzee Rascal, Skepta, Chipmunk and Stormzy. When a petition to erect a statue of the rapper in his native Bow attracted 5,000 signatures a few years back, he shrugged off the hype and continued tweeting gems like this one: “I really like fish that taste like chicken and the first time I had that was at my bro Jammers house”. The man is a complete maverick and this intimate Subbie show should be a prime opportunity to see him at work up close – in London, he plays at venues like Koko and gets Skepta up on stage with him. This, with support from DJ Milktray, Jon Phonics and Bushido, will be quite different.

• Wiley: The Godfather Tour, Wednesday, Sub Club, 11pm – 3am, £20

Tall Paul

After an all-too-brief appearance at STREETrave’s Summer warehouse spectacular at SWG3 in August, the evergreen Tall Paul returns to Glasgow to headline this peculiar party in an intriguing location. Cottiers, the refined theatre in a renovated Hyndland church, will play host to the clubbing giant tomorrow night. Make no mistake: it’s a stunning space, but its status as a hugely popular wedding venue means we’re more used to turning up there suited, booted, and ready to witness some nuptials. Nevertheless, with support from “mutant ceilidh techno” purveyor Sketch, the whole affair promises to be something quite different indeed.

• Tall Paul, tomorrow, Cottiers Theatre, 8pm – late, £18

Trevor Nelson

This year’s MOBO Awards are upon us, meaning a host of aftershow parties showcasing the best in dancehall, hip-hop, grime and urban music will leave us spoiled for choice tomorrow night. The biggie is at the O2 ABC, where bona fide legend Trevor Nelson will be spinning old-school soul, modern rhythm and blues, and obscure club classics from across the decades. Grime MC Wretch 32 performs live at Merchant Square’s Distrikt, while over on Royal Exchange Square Tinie Tempah collaborator DJ Charlesy brings his eclectic stylings to Karbon’s successor, Light.

• Trevor Nelson, tomorrow, O2 ABC, 11pm – 3am, £15

• MOBOs Afterparty with Wretch 32, tomorrow, Distrikt, 10.30pm – 3am, £10

• MOBOs Afterparty with DJ Charlesy, tomorrow, Light, 10pm – 4am, £10

Melting Pot

One of the most iconic clubs in history gets the Melting Pot tribute treatment on Saturday, as guest DJ Andy Piacentini, pays homage to the Paradise Garage. The Garage existed for a decade at the height of New York City’s disco and house scene, and it was a sanctuary for black, latino and LGBT communities, who found a space to express themselves away from the general club-going public without fear of judgement or persecution. Its resident, Larry Levan, has been called the most influential DJ of all time and the first superstar DJ: what better way to pay tribute than dancing to his favourite records all night long? Support comes from residents Andrew Pirie and Simon Cordiner, while a portion of funds will go to help the vital work of LGBT charity Stonewall.

• Melting Pot: A Tribute to the Paradise Garage, Saturday, The Admiral, 11pm – 3am, £8
