Skye-born DJ and producer Myles MacInnes has remixed Elton John and toured with the Scissor Sisters. His debut album, Destroy Rock & Roll, released last spring, is an engaging, accessible take on house, strung somewhere between Daft Punk and Prince.

But despite the gimmicky current single, also called Destroy Rock & Roll (which samples a conservative campaigner mispronouncing a litany of rock bands), Mylo is no novelty act. Played as the night's opener, the single comes alive, its rubbery bass transformed into a punchy call to arms, with Mylo and his two cohorts rocking intently behind two synths and a bass guitar.

From a rock perspective, of course, there is a lead singer-shaped hole in this performance. But, like a DJ set, the focus is less on posturing and more on texture - on the exhilarating whirls and stabs that come from the synths, the meaty pulse of the beat and the eerie breakdowns. It's a simple formula, based on the oft-recorded fact that bass makes your feet move and treble makes you wave your hands in the air - but judging by the response to In My Arms, a glorious, Kim Carnes-sampling rush of disco-house, it's one Mylo plays to perfection.

While he may not be a classic pop star, the amiable MacInnes has presence, whether he's throwing honey into the audience, adding delicate guitar tweaks to Zenophile or simply beaming merrily while the crowd bops. If you want a party, MacInnes is your man.
