Boasting a wicked pedigree of past artists to have graced their nights in the past, the likes of Carl Cox, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones, James Zabiela and Tiga having all delivered breathtaking performances cementing Musika's status as one of Scotland's leading club nights. The months ahead see a similarly stellar line up house and techno lords descend on Edinburgh's nightlife.

Musika's Seventh birthday with Sasha // 19th April

Following on from his sterling appearance for Musika last year, it was only a matter of time before the Edinburgh promoters brought Sasha back to an intimate rave space, this time in Edinburgh's Caves for their eagerly awaited seventh birthday party.

The Last Night On Earth main man is world renowned for his melodic, technically advanced, and irresistibly compelling sets that serve to further his status as one of the country's most important DJs and producers. He will be joined by one of his labels key members - Simon Baker for another scorching Musika line up.

Innervisions with Ame // 4th May

Immense Berlin imprint Innervisions are next in Musika's sights, who once again return to the The Caves. It's been a long while since label co-founders Ame (above) were in the Scottish capital which is something Musika have happily corrected. The duo have enjoyed a rip-roaring couple of years that has seen Innervisions rise to the fore of soulful deep techno and house, whilst their own innovative productions continually find a balance between soothing beauty and dance floor readiness.

Scuba and Paul Woolford // 10th May

Musika next bring a mighty doubleheader, this time to Liquid Rooms in the shape of Hotflush label boss Scuba and Intimacy main man Paul Woolford. Scuba's discerning musical tastes have shone through with Hotflush, making it the go to imprint for lush, bass-driven, edgy house, techno, and bass music, whilst his own stripped back lean techno sound continues to make waves.

Equally Paul Woolford's techno outings have been both experimentally vast whilst remaining surefire dance floor hits, with last year's 'Untitled' being regularly name checked as one of the records of the year. This is destined to be one hell of a party.
