Edinburgh Clubbing Highlights: 14-20 September

Pulse with Marcel Dettman @ The Liquid Room, Fri 16 Sep

German DJ and producer Dettman is regarded as one of the most influential proponents of contemporary techno and is closely associated with techno institution Berghain and record store Hard Wax. MDR019, his first solo release in three years, dropped via his own Marcel Dettman Records back in June, and on the back of this 12" comes his show at The Liquid Room, with support from locals Darrell Harding and Sean Laird. 

L'anatomie with Marcus Worgull (Innervisions) @ Sneaky Pete's, Fri 16 Sep

Also on the Friday, Marcus Worgull – a DJ renowned for his knack of playing exactly the right track at exactly the right time – heads up Sneaky Pete's first party to the sounds of the legendary Innervisions. Worgull has been a key figure in the label's rise to prominence over the last ten years, turning out a number of elegant releases for the Berlin-based operation. Think dark, atmospheric house and techno, with a warm up courtesy of Kieran Apter and Ian Hendry.

Nightvision presents Series 5 Launch Party with Groove Armada @The Liquid Room, Sat 17 Sep

Fresh off the back of their hectic summer festival circuit and their most recent Fabric compilation, the legendary Groove Armada return exclusively to the capital for their first club show in almost eight years. If that isn't enough of a drawcard, the six-hour long event also features one of the UK's finest house music talents, Darius Syrossian, as well as New Yorker Kim Ann Foxman (of Hercules & Love Affair fame) and Greek rising star, Hot Creations' Detlef.

Substance with Ben UFO @ The Bongo Club, Fri 30 Sep

Kicking off The Bongo Club's month-long 20th birthday celebrations is none other than Ben UFO, regarded by many as one of the greatest DJs of our time. Having co-founded Hessle Audio with Pearson Sound and Pangaea in 2007, and London-based Ben Thomson is one of the few DJs in the UK to have made a name for himself without entering into the world of production. Don't miss this chance to witness his assured skills as a selector and mixer.

Nightvision Halloween with Pan-Pot & Neil Landstrumm @ La Belle Angele, Fri 28 Oct

This Nightvision Halloween special brings German duo Pan-Pot to the capital for spooky shenanigans against a backdrop of minimal-slanted tech house. Edinburgh shapeshifter Laurie Neil (whose latest solo EP Extreme Pleasure was released in January) and fellow Edinburgh-based DJ Laurie Neil will be on hand for the All-Hallows warm up.
