One of the longest running clubbing institutions in British clubbing returns for its annual shindig at the Arches this month and welcomes a typically classy yet classic roster of acts. Streetrave was the first incarnation of Colours when in the late eighties it started running parties at the Ayr Pavillion and then Prestwick Airport. As rave grew and negative implications about the genre grew with it, the night developed and changed name. Its existence is still celebrated however at these once-a-year events and are always packed with clubbers old and new. This year's event has John Digweed at the helm. Throughout the nineties much of his work was done in his legendary partnership with Sasha, yet now he mostly DJs solo with a blend of progressive house. Also on the line-up are Shades of Rhythm, one of the true survivors of the original group of core rave acts from the early nineties and still going strong over 16 years later. The line up is completed by further rave pioneers Altern 8 and K-Klass and the vastly underrated resident Jon Mancini. [Sean McNamara]
