On his official Facebook page, where his biography should be, the Melbourne DJ Will Sparks has a marvellously succinct and memorable manifesto. “LETS BOUNCE,” it reads. That’s it. Two words, caps lock left on, absolutely no consideration given to proper punctuation. It tells us nothing about him, and yet it says everything, giving us a profound insight into the way the 23-year-old (he is still precociously young, let’s bear that in mind) operates.

There’s something pure and unfiltered about it: he’s abandoned the hype that generally populates these skimmed-over social media filler sections and replaced it with a bold statement of intent.

In short, it marks him out as a complete boss who cares about not much more than playing his massive, big-room EDM tunes to his adoring, ecstatic fans. And you know what? I’m ok with that.

Sparks returns to Glasgow tomorrow night to kick off a particularly big weekend for the Scots clubbing mega-brand Colours, who are in the throes of their twenty-second birthday celebrations. It’s a quite incredible achievement for the party starters, and their two decades of rave instigation gets a second knees-up on Saturday at SWG3.

There, a more trance-heavy lineup, featuring the Irish legend John O’Callaghan, the founding father of “pure trance,” Solarstone, and John “Double 0” Fleming – an artist described as “a national treasure of trance music” by Pete Tong, no less – will take over the warehouse venue, with artists from as far afield as Germany and Canada filling the TV Studio with fresh new sounds.

Both nights are set to be absolute corkers. Will sparks fly? You bet they will.

• Will Sparks, tomorrow, O2 Academy, 9pm – 3am, £24.50

• Colours 22nd Birthday, Saturday, SWG3, 9pm – 2am, £24.50

Pressure

According to the influential deep techno DJ Nicole Moudaber, Chris Liebing is “the epitome of techno.”

“All the others sound so cheesy next to him,” she says: high praise indeed, coming as it does from one of the world’s most in-demand DJs. So techno heads - have another reason not to miss Pressure this month when it returns to SWG3’s sprawling warehouse complex tomorrow. While Frankfurter Liebing and residents Slam turn the venue’s TV Studio into a temple of Teutonic techno, Berlin’s Pan-Pot – the trans-dimensional duo made up of Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix - bring their “colossal, haunting” tracks to the Warehouse, alongside Antwerp’s Amelie Lens, Londoner Bec, and San Francisco’s Clint Stewart.

Midweek prospects are also looking strong, with Glasgow University Feminist Society’s So Over It moving into the Jim Lambie-designed Poetry Club on Wednesday for their first ever big party. It’s an International Women’s Day fundraiser, with Sarra Wild of local creative collective OH141 spinning records until late.

• Pressure with Chris Liebing, tomorrow, SWG3, 10pm – 2am, £20

• So Over It!, Wednesday, The Poetry Club, 10pm – 2am, £4

Sonja Moonear

Sonja Moonear, the Swiss DJ and protégé of Ricardo Villalobos, is a regular at Germany’s hippest clubs (Robert Johnson in Frankfurt, Panorama Bar and Club der Visionaere in Berlin , you know all about these). Moonear specialises in house and techno that’s “lean and trippy,” but you might also hear shuffling, minimal beats mixed with acid house, or electro mingling with dub: expect a real mixed bag from the Geneva-born selector.

Moonear’s party is followed up tomorrow by local crew Numbers and their homage to Chicago’s Music Box, the original home of acid. That genre is synonymous with the sound of the 303 drum machine, but tomorrow’s promoters insist it won’t be all about that particular piece of hardware. “It’s a re-imagining of the intensity and wildness of those parties,” they said, with nods to the original’s “anything goes” music policy. Optimo legend JD Twitch joins Numbers resident Spencer in the booth, with the former celebrating his birthday the very same night.

And all this is before we even hit Saturday, which sees Subculture’s Harri and Dom entwined in a celebration of the seminal Dutch label Clone. Its founder, Serge (a proper one-name artist), will supply vintage house while frequent collaborator Alden Tyrell casts shades of Chicago and Detroit. An unmissable one.

• Sonja Moonear, tonight, Sub Club, 11pm – 3am, £6/£8

• Numbers, tomorrow, Sub Club, 11pm – 3am, £10

• Subculture: 25 Years of Clone Records, Saturday, Sub Club, 11pm – 3am, £10

Shanti Celeste

Born in Chile, Shanti Celeste cut her teeth as a DJ in Bristol and is now making a living from music in Berlin. Her story is a vibrant one; much like her music, which could variously be describe as weird, groovy, classic-leaning house. Edinburgh promotors Lezure host this warm, energetic character for her first Glasgow gig since March 2016, when she played at La Cheetah with Moxie.

• Shanti Celeste, Saturday, La Cheetah, 11pm – 1am, £6
