Bringing you the Domino's Garlic & Herb of November's nightlife

Life is full of difficult decisions.

Picture yourself, post-club, leaning in over the counter as you eagerly watch your end of night kebab being carefully constructed.

You've already overcome the challenge of drunken decision making from the infinitely extended menu of your local kebab shop which, had you not been swaying about at four in the morning would have been a walk in the park.

You're almost there, you expertly navigate your way through the limp and somewhat sad looking salad choices and arrive at your final destination: the sauce. 

This is the make or break moment - a potentionally game-changing or night ruining choice. Unlabelled bottles defined loosely by colour and strange unexplainable flavours like burger sauce (seriously, what even is burger sauce?!) line themselves up like a final boss battle before you can stumble off into the night, victorious and full of food. 

Like we said, life can throw you difficult choices to make.

From picking a clubnight to making that final saucy desicion, everyone needs a little helping hand sometimes.

That's why we're here to make your life a little easier, with November's spiciest events bottled up and ready to squeeze over your usual social routine. Napkins not provided. 

Halloween / Bonfire Party with Terry Francis [Castle Goring, Worthing] Saturday, 3rd November

 
 

Here's one for you concept event lovers. Picture this: A Halloween and Bonfire themed party in an 18th Century Gothic Castle illuminated by fire pits and fireworks with legendary Fabric resident Terry Francis shaking the chandeliers through an 11K Turbo Sound System. Nice.

Castle Goring is lowering the drawbridge for ravers as Sunny Side Up pull out all the stops to give you a night out with a difference.

Since being crowned Muzik Magazine's "Best New DJ" in 1997, Terry Francis has worked his way to the top, armed with flawless mixing skills and a superhuman crowd-working instinct. Having held down 20 years worth of Saturday night's at London's infamous Fabric, we can't wait to see what he brings to this unreal location.

Boxed In presents: Jasper James, Astrofunk (DJ Set), Defen [Switch, Southampton] Wednesday, 7th Novemeber

 
 

One of the most exciting DJs around right now, hands down.

Whether it's an international festival stage, an Ibiza mega-club or an intimate basement rave, Jasper James always brings the finest off-kilter house and heads-down techno.

Ticking off the DJ bucketlist with sets at Fabric, Warehouse Project, Smartbar, Blitz, Lux, Bobbeaman and Sub Club, Jasper James's musical CV stretches longer than his legendary 6-hour weekly sets during his year long residency at London's Phonox.

Beamed in from outer space to warm up the decks are Southampton's space invaders, ASTROFUNK. With intergalatic disco from the outer reaches of the galaxy, prepare to have your tiny human brain melted away.

Sutra - Marco Strous/ Be Like Butter/ Junga/ Sikora [The Crofters Rights, Bristol] Tuesday, 27th November 

 
 

Sutra will be firing off some Solid Grooves across the Crofters Rights dancefloor with a selectors' selection of selectors.

Portuguese national and Bristol based Marco Strous heads up the line-up with an arsenal of Tech-House that has been popping up across killer labels such as Solid Grooves RAW, No Excuse, Blanc and more.

This rapidly up-and-coming DJ has already got the nod from the likes of Latmun, Pawsa, Michael Bibi, Wade, Dennis Cruz and more, and with numerous festival and club performances under his belt, Marco has locked in his reputation as a prolific DJ and producer with a lot more ahead of him.

Fresh off the island after smashing 4 consecutive seasons, Ibiza resident Cansen will no doubt be bringing a USB loaded with pure disco and house gold. Appearing under a new alias, 'Be Like Butter' and with a new release coming soon on Strictly Rhythm, expect island vibes and sun-soaked tunes to keep England's new found tropical climate going long into November.

District in the Blackbox [The Blackbox, Birmingham] Friday, 23rd November

 
 

Fast-paced rolling house and techno, big basslines, energetic crowds and a massive line-up to match - we're seriously excited for the next installent of District.

The likes of Esanto, Sandor, Jake Whitehouse, Bad Batch and more will be lining up to shut down one of Digbeth's most popular venues, The Blackbox.

One to watch, Sandor, is definitely one of the most exciting producers and DJs to explode out of the Tech-House scene this year. Picking up accolades from the likes of Detlef, Richy Ahmed and Amine Edge & DANCE and support slots for Camelphat, Denis Sulta and Steve Lawler, you seriously don't want to miss this.

ENRG Presents Amelia Lens, Rebekah, Blehrin [Invisible Wind Factory, Liverpool] Friday, 9th November 

 
 

With innovative lighting and state of the art technology, plus world renowned bookings, ENRG have bottled up the formula for unbeatable nights. 

Consistently booking only the cream of the crop, ENRG have already brought the likes of Jon Hopkins, Peggy Gou, Four Tet and Mall Grab to Invisible Wind Factory with no means of letting up. 

This time around, Belgium export Amelia Lens will be storming the IWF decks with bass-heavy minimal techno. The 28-year old whose metroic rise to techno fame came in tandem with both a modelling career and a sucessful oatmeal company has quickly become one of the scenes most cherished figures and respected DJs.

Joining her is veteran Rebekah and ENRG resident Blehrin to get things rollin'.
