It's not quite Christmas party season yet, but we all know it’s getting scarily close. You’ll probably just be able to scrape through the week without some dodgy festive remix ruining your night out, so best to soak up all the great stuff and enjoy clubbing normality while you can. Here are the best nights out in London this week.

With everything from indie rock to live techno, hip hop to ambient electronic, the line-up truly spans all popular genres, meaning you’ll probably find something to suit your tastes with not much bother at all. Luckily, it looks like there are still tickets available for a handful of shows, including: Stereolab, black midi, Danise Chaila, Anna Meredith, and Mykki Blanco. Better get your hands on some quick.

Origins: Jossy Mitsu, Adam Pits and more
Heading up the bill for this steamy Corsica session is Jossy Mitsu, an of-the-moment UK garage DJ carving all sorts of new, spiky shapes into bass music. To make things even more interesting, she’ll be playing b2b with globally recognised techno and breakbeat head, Third Son. Joining them, among others, is Adam Pits, the spacey, bassy producer who is swiftly making a name for himself with his string of catchy 2021 releases and hypnotic mixing. If you can spare £25 on a ticket, this is definitely one to experience.

Big Miz and Kassian
Big Miz is a feelgood house and techno DJ hailing from Glasgow who’ll be bringing his Good Thing party to the heart of Soho for a Friday-night stomper. As well as incorporating plenty of soul and disco, his mixes often lean towards the heavier territories of electro and acid, with the occasional 808 bassline or shattered synth thrown in. Joining him is Kassian, a vibrant DJ duo who’ll be playing across jazz, house, and leftfield.
Big Miz and Kassian. Orange Yard, W1D 4JB. Fri Nov 12. 11pm-5am. Tickets from £10.
