While the heady days of summer and its frenetic festival schedule are definitely behind us, Australian clubs were as busy as ever over this past weekend with an influx of internationals as well as local heroes shining very brightly.

Leading the charge was house heavyweight and thoughtful dummy-spitter Danny Howells, touring the country under his beloved Dig Deeper banner. His first weekend of shows saw the UK don drop by Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney – for a prized garden party – and you can catch up on all the action with ITM’s photo coverage below.

Still on the internationals front and New York bass gun Drop The Lime made his buzzed about return to our clubs over the weekend, dropping by Canberra for an upsized engagement at Academy before hitting more clubs throughout this coming week. It’ll likely be our last chance to catch DTL in DJ mode with a new live band show debuting next month so don’t miss him in a club near you.

Speaking of DJs doing live things, the reigning ITM50 champions The Aston Shuffle were on the road with their fancy-pants new live setup, playing tunes off their new album (this week’s feature album, no less) and showing off their jaw-dropping visual syncs. Melbourne was the latest stop on the tour for the Astons and from the looks of the photos below the crowd ate up every beat.

Elsewhere around the country and Katalyst’s fawned over side project with Steve Spacek, Space Invadas showed off their spirited live show in Brissy, while Meat Katie was in fine form at Chinese Laundry and the crew behind Subsonic brought out Max Cooper for some enveloping, atmospheric awesomeness.

Our dark horse gig of the week however belongs to UK chart rocketeer Tinie Tempah who brought his bottomless charisma and dark glasses to Sydney for a lightning quick set of hits during his one-off club show.

Meanwhile overseas the gig that got our attention was of course Armin van Buuren’s latest stop on the ASOT 500 tour. Just a week before it lands in Australia, Armin staged a special homecoming bash in the Netherlands with his trance buddies like Markus Schulz, Paul Oakenfold, Sean Tyas and Gareth Emery. Get ready!

There was plenty more on offer over the weekend so if you’re still in need of your photo fix after the weekend suss out the ITM gallery in your city – hint, it’s in the menu bar at the top of the page!
