Hannah Wants

“A woman’s place is in the resistance,” proclaimed one of the panoply of placards at the women’s solidarity march in the capital last month. The world as a whole still hasn’t quite woken up to that message – our cousins in the States, particularly, given their choice of President – but not for the first time in Finnieston, radical change has been swift. This weekend at SWG, it seems a woman’s place is in the DJ booth.

Rarely do we see a night when an entire complex the size of SWG3 is taken over by our record-spinning sisters. But that’s exactly what’s going down tomorrow night, as Hannah Wants, Rebecca Vasmant, and Natasha Kitty Katt prepare to headline the Warehouse and Poetry Club respectively.

Hannah Wants wants her Play tour, which kicked off at Electric Brixton in London last week, to deliver “dark and dingy” warehouse vibes. Play is a “raw and authentic tour which will project Hannah's artistic progression and prospective musical vision,” says her PR. Safe to say that even after its relatively-recent refurbishment, the grand old structure should still provide what the Birmingham house producer is looking for. Support comes from London-based Klose One, the ex-pirate radio host who’s been tagged as “a real DJ’s DJ,” and two-time winner of the Hannah Wants DJ Competition Devstar.

Downstairs in the cosy, Jim Lambie-designed Poetry Club, the mood is a little more soulful as Rebecca Vasmant headlines P.O.W, which brands itself as “a place to cut loose and be whatever you want.” The eclectic Glasgow DJ, who spins everything from jazz to techno, is joined by Edinburgh’s Natasha Kitty Katt, who has been laying down soul and disco-heavy sets at clubs and festivals since 2012. A firm favourite in her home city, she’s about to launch a record label with her dad, Dennis, and has been busy in the studio recording some original tunes and rare disco edits.

As befits a venue like SWG3, Saturday’s lineup couldn’t be more different. The Warehouse hosts a celebration of Kanye West (expect album tracks, rarities and B-sides galore), as the dressed-up punters at Club Noir shimmy to DJs Coolmaster, Ken Jumbo and Loveless – just make sure to steer clear of the “dominatrix duo” who’ll be prowling the dancefloor for victims.

Boys Noize

Alex Ridha, the artist and producer better known as Boys Noize, isn’t French, but from listening to his early work you could be forgiven for thinking that he is. He’s from Hamburg, but in the mid-to-late noughties he encapsulated the Ed Banger sound that grew out of Paris and has come to define all modern French dance music.

His recent work has been harder, tougher, more Teutonic and less forgiving – on latest album Mayday, released in May 2016, he fused techno and hip-hop while nodding toward early rave, while collaborations with Benga and Hudson Mohawke stole the show.

Put it this way: there are going to be some poor sickie excuses trotted out on Monday morning thanks to this one. Also at the Subbie this weekend: Manchester duo Solardo bring the Ibizan techno tonight, the analogue, bass-heavy tech-funk producer Mr. G is the guest at Subculture on Saturday, and “The High Priest of Harmony” Denis Sulta is at I AM on Tuesday. Result!

· Subculture x DJ Mag: Mr. G, Saturday, Sub Club, 11pm – 3am, £14

· Boys Noize, Sunday, Sub Club, 11pm – 3am, £15

· Denis Sulta, Tuesday, Sub Club, 11pm – 3am, £5

Love Trumps Hate

Not to get too political, but the more I hear about this Trump fella, the more I’m not so sure about him. The charitable club night Philanthrobeats seem to feel the same, and they’ve set up this antidote to the typical Valentine’s party by way of protest.

“We want to celebrate the basic human decency that unites us all, that makes us look after those less well off than ourselves, that keeps our countries, cities and homes open to all, regardless of their faith, race, gender or sexual orientation,” its organisers said.

Residents Axel Goodboy, Lourd Semajj and Chester bring the house and techno beats, while all proceeds go to Govan and Craigton Integration Network, which helps asylum seekers and those most in need of a helping hand in our society. Before it, get the Variety Bar, where local duo Saltmarket Outhouse will be showing off their quite superior Djing chops upstairs.

· Saltmarket Outhouse, Saturday, Variety Bar, 9pm – 3am, free

· Philanthrobeats: Love Trumps Hate, Saturday, Broadcast, 11.30pm – 3am, £4
