BELTERS ONLY Platform11, Pontypridd, Sat 23 July Tickets: £22. Info: facebook.com/platform11pontypridd


Welsh debut for this Dublin trio – two DJs/producers, Bisset and Robbie G, plus vocalist Jazzy – Belters Only are smashing it in Ireland, and thanks to the borderless tentacles of platforms including Soundcloud and TikTok are big news in upfront housey circles elsewhere too. Their new single is titled I Will Survive, and does indeed lean heavily on the disco song of that title, if the name Belters Only didn’t clue you in to their levels of subtlety.


Champagne Bubblee and MC Ultra plus hosts Aurie Styla and BBBrown feature alongside various offers on fried chicken and cocktails. The £30 ticket gets you ‘bot- tomless’ amounts of both apparently. Sat 6 Aug Magic Garden Rave 10pm-3am, £20. One of those touring ‘event’ clubnights where the décor and stuff like confetti cannons are billed as the headline attraction, rather than the DJs. No offence to Ronnie Spiteri, Shane Fernandes, Kieren Lythgow and Junga, who I’m sure are perfectly competent.
