Drum & Breaks Curriculum

With all the attention on the capital at this time of year, it’s sometimes easy to forget about Scotland’s other cities. If you find Edinburgh slightly daunting around festival time, then here’s what’s happening in the rest of country.

Over in Glasgow on 1 Aug, the Stereo MCs will be playing an exclusive DJ set at indoor snow-sports arena, Snowzone. Expect some healthy beats and breaks while experiencing genuine snow indoors. The best part is that it’s completely free (8pm-1am).

On the 02 Aug up in Aberdeen, Scotland’s longest serving drum and bass night, Jungle Nation will be showcasing some of the best in local talent, with a dual headline event featuring DJ Tez and DJ Davy. Entry is only a £5.

Moving to Dundee on 15 Aug, those Pangea boys will be up to their usual tricks, hosting one of their infamous resident parties at the Reading Rooms. The legendary Special Ed and his partner-in-crime Professor Fresh will be digging deep into their record boxes to play some Pangea classics from past and present.

Still at the Reading Rooms, new night Hyrule will be following up last month's launch party with another jam-packed set of house and breaks. Guest for the evening is Dyte. (23 Aug, £6/£3).
