Another week in London, brings (yet) another essential festival, scuppering any thoughts of getting the sleep overdraft back in the black. Perverted Science and deepbluemusic's

On Saturday Berlin's T.Raumschmiere performs live, his pogo-inducing industrial punk-techno mash-up is rebel music for the truckers' cap generation. Rˆyksopp's mate, Bjorn Torske, Swedish rapper Freddie Cruger and Debasser also appear.

After a brief stint at King's Cross's The Egg, 21st Century Bodyrockers returns to its spiritual home Club Wicked (formerly Cynthia's Robotic Bar and located in the arches around London Bridge) for its monthly parties. At last Thursday's Hung, Drawn & Quartered festival, the label - set up by former-FFRR A&R Phil Howells and responsible for Felix Da Housecat and FC Kahuna's albums - took over Herbal. Theirs was undoubtedly the best party we encountered on the night, with Different Gear's jacking and breaky house-style firing a refreshing and cracking vibe. Nag Nag Nag's JoJo De Freq and one of the UK's finest (but unsung) hip hop DJs, Semtex, are new regular additions to Cynthia's line-up, with Superpitcher, Headman and FC Kahuna joining residents Rory and Miss Mingo-go tomorrow. The Boggs perform live.

Herbal's monthly Herbalism (second Friday of each month) goes from strength to strength with its upstairs giving well respected DJs (Richard X, Andrew Weatherall, David Holmes) a free rein - last month, Weatherall revealed his love of reggae, punk and Johnny Cash. So this weekend's date with maverick Holmes (producer of Hollywood film scores and the hip hop funk band The Free Association) should offer a remarkable insight into his myriad influences.

Co-Op celebrates its third birthday this weekend. Call it broken beat, nu jazz or future soul, it's fantastic dance music evolving before your ears, with a dedicated following and an intimate atmosphere. Residents include IG Culture (New Sector Movements), Bugz In The Attic's Orin 'Afronaut' Walters and Seiji plus guests such as Modaji. For Co-Op's birthday bash, Afronaut and IG Culture are joined by Demus and 4Hero's Dego. With Grooverider's Sunday monthly at Herbal, Grace regularly roadblocked, and the revived Metalheadz Sunday Session jamming the Medicine Bar, if you like your clubbing away from the weekend throng and faker-free, Sundays in Shoreditch is the place to be.
