Doc Daneeka This isn’t, as you may have already anticipated, the character from Joseph Heller’s Catch 22 who actually knows what Catch 22 is. Instead, Swansea producer Mial Watkins is one of the rising stars of the UK clubbing scene, although which scene we’re not entirely sure. Once described as ‘post-garage’, he also merges elements of Chicago house, UK funky and even a little bassline into his set. We suggest you track down his ‘Deadly Rhythm’ EP, check out his Ten Thousand Yen imprint and, what the hell, go hear him play. ■ Fortified vs Stay Plastic at La Cheetah, Glasgow, Fri 16 Jul.
