The Sound Of Bowie
Incredibly, it’s already been 18 months since the passing of David Bowie but the sense of loss is still palpable. This tribute show is, then, much welcomed, especially as it is being led by leading Bowie tribute act Martin Gough, who launched this show back in 2012. It comprises 24 of the singer’s most famous songs split over two 50-minute halves, with the likes of “China Girl”, “Let’s Dance”, “Sound and Vision”, “Star Man” and, of course, “Heroes” all reproduced with uncanny accuracy. He’ll be supported by Miss Sykes and Punjabi MC.
When: Friday, July 14
Where: The Music Room, Al Mankhool

Kosta Athanassiadis at Analog Room
A DJ and producer from Göttingen, Kosta’s career dates back to the early 1990s when he started to play in a record store. He pumps out spacey house and techno at a reliable clip. He’s the kind of producer whose records slip into a set to provide a laid-back groove. He’ll be supported by Siamak Amidi.
When: Thursday, July 13, 10pm-3am
Where: Industrial Avenue, Westin Hotel
