Askew has secured broken beat's guiding lights Bugz In The Attic as residents for its new slot at Union.
The West London-based scene is a broad church of modern dancefloor funk and jazz which, predictably, boasts Gilles Peterson as its biggest champion.
With its experimental tendencies and filthy basslines, the music mostly avoids the overpolished sounds and soporific noodling some may expect.
Along with IG Culture and 4Hero's Dego and Marc Mac, the nine-man Bugz are expected to cross over this year.
Their CoOp nights in the capital are the scene's epicentre and they have cemented their reputation with excellent remixes of Fela Kuti and Macy Gray.
The single Booty (La La) ws a wonderful Parliament-inspired chunk of funk redolent of Basement Jaxx at their finest.
From 10pm, £8/£6/free before 9pm. Call 01273 321692.
