THERE'S no excuse for staying at home this Bank Holiday weekend as the on-slaught of quality club nights continues.
Tomorrow sees the latest installment of Moovn, which the organisers promise will be the biggest night in its eight-month existence.
Joining the Moovn crew at Club Berlin will be none other than Kenny 'Dope' Gonzalez, one half of the legendary Mast
ers At Work, who have remixed and produced top artists such as R Kelly, Janet Jackson, Daft Punk, Luther Vandross, George Benson and many more.
Gonzalez is said to be itching to get back behind the decks in Edinburgh, a city he has long held a strong affinity for having made countless guest appearances here over the years.
Every time that he's played the Capital in the past – the last time being 2005 – it's been a special night. This one will be no different.
Main room support on the night will come from Moovn residents Craig Smith and Bruce Nicholson, while Steven Willison and Andy Baker will take care of business in the bar.
If that wasn't enough, Edinburgh's premier funkster, Gino of Motherfunk fame, will be laying down the grooves like only he can in the lounge. Plus Saxingh will be floating between all three rooms with his trusty saxophone.
Needless to say, get down early to this one, people.
Ultragroove, Edinburgh's longest running house night, dives head long into the month of May tomorrow with a brace of internationally renowned guests from the quality end of the house spectrum, beginning with German house heroes Ame tomorrow.
Pronounced Ahm, and meaning French for soul, Ame are Kristian Beyer are Frank Wiedemann, whose deep and groovy brand of house music has caught the attention of all the major peeps involved in club music.
By bridging the gap for all kinds of music lovers, ranging from techno, house or broken beat, Ame attract most of them by keeping a warm and analogue feel with the right punch and precision for the dance floor.
They have delivered constant quality tracks such as Balandine, Rej, Ojomo and Engoli, which have been among the biggest tunes of the last couple of years.
Technically faultless, their DJ sets are as immaculate as their productions.
On Sunday night at Liquid Room, Muzika welcomes the newest member of the Swedish House Mafia, Laidback Luke, who is set to lay down his first ever DJ set on Scottish soil.
Although he's actually from Holland, his affiliations with Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell have made this guy one of the most in-demand DJs in the world today.
A recent essential mix compilation for Roger Sanchez Stealth label, plus a barrel load of releases and remixes, means his Capital appearance is one of the most highly anticipated in months. Get your tickets now.
Taste is Edinburgh's original and longest running gay-friendly night, bringing together like-minded people who enjoy a club environment free from hassle and bad attitudes and for whom sexuality is not an issue. After nearly 14 years and over 700 Sundays, the club is now running one-off events throughout the year on holiday weekends.
And, with this being a Bank Holiday weekend, Taste's resident DJs Fisher and Price are back at Studio 24 on Sunday to play an eclectic mix of the best underground dance music available while in the backroom Miss Chris and Marco Smith play earthshaking house.
May the fourth be with you, as they say.
