Your Sunday night Carnival after-party is sorted, my friends.

Check out this tasty little number from Deviation, taking place on City Road in east London.

DJ Zinc playing a back-to-'95 jungle set? Rinse FM founder Geeneus comin atcha with the funky, alongside dubstep's lady of the moment, Katy B? Noodles of Groove Chronicles getting jiggy with the classic garage? Do I LOOK like I'd miss such a thing? Hell no.

FWD returns to Plastic People

FWD, the club night that launched a thousand dubstep careers, has returned to Plastic People in Shoreditch.

This groundbreaking party, which championed dubstep, grime, funky 'and everything in-between' from their early days, is now a big player in the club circuit, with residencies at Matter and Bloc Weekend.

Plastic People is a funny old venue, but one which I adore. Down a flight of stairs, this tiny 200(ish)-capacity club has skanky toilets, no air conditioning and a booming dancefloor that's utterly pitch black and dripping from the ceilings. But it has a great mix of people, good security, cheap drinks and an awesome lineup of DJs.

I loved heading down there for a Sunday-night FWD rinse-out, but the event tailed off over the Christmas period. It's now back in its original Thursday-night slot, with the first party on 4 March featuring N-Type, Youngsta and Zinc.

The promoters say: 'The change to Thursdays brings back memories of how amazing original FWD Thursdays were, before dubstep and Shoreditch itself had crossed over, as well as a chance to make fresh, new memories.'

DJ Zinc and Ms Dynamite: 'Wile Out'

Must say I'm loving this new tune by DJ Zinc and Ms Dynamite, 'Wile Out'.

UK garage artist Ms Dynamite has been re-emerging in the dance scene over the last year, making lots of live appearances at clubs and events following a two-year hiatus from music.

Similarly DJ Zinc, producer of 1995 anthem 'Super Sharp Shooter', has been reinventing himself recently as the father of crack house (I promise I'll do a blog post soon explaining what that is!).

They've got together to produce this skankin' track, which was released this week. I'm interested to see how well it does in the charts.
