Drum & Breaks Curriculum - September, 2008

As the summer draws to a close and the last of the music festivals are over, Scotland’s cities begin to buzz with excitement again. The arrival of new students in each city prompts many clubnights to raise their game in September, and this year is no exception.

Taking place at Cabaret Voltaire every Tuesday, Split has been the cause of Wednesday hangovers in Edinburgh for almost 5 years now. With free entry, this is a must for any people wanting to catch Scotland’s finest drum & bass and breaks DJs for next to nothing. For all the junglists out there, it’s definitely worth checking out Mutiny at The Bongo Club on 11 Sept. They’ve got pioneering legend DJ Remarc playing (11pm-3am, £4/£6).

Over at The Reading Rooms in Dundee on Fri 19, Pangea will be celebrating their 4th birthday. Guest DJ for the evening is none other than Technique recordings label boss Simon Bassline Smith (11pm-3am, £6.50/£10). Back in Edinburgh and on the same night Xplicit will be taking over Potterow for a special fresher's party. They’ve managed to book not one, not two but all three of the infamous Scratch Perverts. Expect a healthy mashup of hip-hop, breaks and drum and bass (19 Sept, 10pm-3am, £6).
