Italian superstar DJ Mauro Picotto makes a rare appearance in the region this Saturday, June 18, playing a two-hour set at BIG and Slinky's Summer Ball at the Junction, Cambridge.

While undoubtedly best known in this country for his remix of Mario Piu's Communication (Somebody Answer the Phone) during the height of trance-pop, producer Picotto's history and boundaries stretch into techno and experimental and he's just come up with his third artist album.

Also playing: Eddie Halliwell, Big Ben, Dave Lea, Dan Stone, Phil and Stu (Ministry of Sound Radio), Tee Vegas, Henry Hacking, Simon Carter. Details: 10pm-4am, £15 advance. Box office: 01223 511511.
