House of Techno November 2006
Great tunes and great haircuts are in store for those eager to lap up Optimo's return to the capital this month
Access, Edinburgh's long-standing champions of the European techno sound, return for a night at Cabaret Voltaire, welcoming guest Savas Pascalidis (Int'l Deejay Gigolos, Lasergun) for some 21st century techno disco (17th, price TBC). Great tunes and great haircuts are in store for those eager to lap up Optimo's return to the capital this month, as they move to their new home of Ego (4th, £10). And for the house heads, the ECCF [post-]Halloween Charity Ball at the Caves (South Niddry Street) brings together resident DJs from a dozen different nights, all in the name of raising money for the Sick Kids Hospital (4th, £10).
Over in Glasgow, art students rejoice! Death Disco is celebrating its 4th birthday at The Arches with huge guests The Glimmers, Mylo, Sammy Jo and Linus Loves, resident Mingo-Go, a special cosmic disco room with Daniele Baldelli and a 4am finish (18th, £15) - expect a roadblock. Proceeds go to Maggie's Cancer Care. London's long-running breaks night Chew The Fat! brings its 9th birthday tour to the Sub Club, with impeccable guests Evil Nine (17th, £10/£8); and Doublespeak host the excellent Claro Intelecto for a night of expertly stripped-down house and techno at Basura Blanca (4th, £8).
