Scottish Clubbing Highlights: 10-16 May

Clubs in Glasgow

Healthy with Helena Hauff & The Modern Institute @ The Berkeley Suite, Fri 12 May
Industrial-acid-techno queen Helena Hauff returns to Glasgow this month for Healthy’s 2nd birthday, playing an extended three-hour long set (with a 4am licence pending). The Modern Institute will also be on hand to provide a conceptual live performance featuring members of Glasgow party band Golden Teacher. Expect ear-drum shattering beats and a visual lighting extravaganza. Advance tickets are sold out, but there will be 100 tickets available on the door.

Objekt & Call Super (All Night Long) @ La Cheetah Club, Fri 12 May
Best mates who play together all the time is always the best combo for an all night B2B set, and Objekt and Call Super make quite the Friday night techno pairing. TJ Hertz (Objekt) is riding high on the back of his excellent March release, the Objekt #4 EP, and Joe Seaton (aka Call Super) joined the illustrious Fabric mix club in February, with an eclectic fabric 92 release spanning house, techno, and ambient tunes (£12+bf).

Kaluki Glasgow with Eats Everything, Richy Ahmed & more @ SWG3, Sat 13 May
After starting as a basement rave in Manchester, Kaluki parties have become world-famous and sought after nights across the globe. Part management, part label, Kaluki Musik have hosted parties and festivals with the likes of Heidi, Solomon, Jamie Jones and Marco Carola, and now it's Glasgow’s turn. This weekend's lineup features party starters Eats Everything and Richy Ahmed, plus Pirate Copy, Pete Zorba, Jamie Roy and Vilmos + Raeside (£19.50+bf). 

Clubs in Edinburgh

Sam Gellaitry @ Sneaky Pete's, Wed 10 May
This is the first in a trifecta of local dates that sees Gellaitry kick off in Edinburgh before also stopping by Stirling (13 May) and Glasgow (17 May). His distinctive blend of sparkly synths and steel-toed bass is certainly worth seeing more than once. The young producer comes in fresh from the USA after shows at Coachella and support slots for DJ Shadow’s California dates, on the back of his new EP Escapism III (£8+bf).

FLY presents Chaos In The CBD @ Cabaret Voltaire, Fri 12 May
Making their debut in the capital this month is Chaos In The CBD, the London-based outfit comprised of brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales. The siblings (who originally hail from New Zealand) dropped the dynamite house EP Accidental Meetings in February, the first release on their own In Dust We Trust imprint with fellow London-based New Zealander Jon Sable. Think soul grooves, jazzy percussive swirls, and soothing vocals combined to create a late night lounge vibe with added kick (£10+bf).

Mindset: Theo Kottis @ Sneaky Pete's, Mon 15 May
Mindset brings you the best house music every Monday at Sneaky Pete's; get your fix this week from local hero Theo Kottis, who's back in the capital after a handful of recent shows in the USA (£5+bf).

Clubs in Dundee

Reckless Kettle X Autonomous Africa with General Ludd @ The Reading Rooms, Thu 11 May
Richard McMaster and Tom Marshallsay are both Glasgow School of Art graduates, and General Ludd was born from a community of musicians in Glasgow, making tracks for underground parties and nightclubs around the world. This month, Reckless Kettle have teamed up with General Ludd (Autonomous Africa) to raise funds for the Tafi Cultural Institute, Ghana (£5 OTD). 

Book Ahead

Sensu Boat Party Part 1 // Mano Le Tough & The Drifter @ Riverside Museum/Sub Club, Fri 30 June
Boat party season has kicked in, signalling warmer days are on their way (fingers crossed). The first Sensu Boat Party of the year features Berlin-based selector Mano Le Tough, plus The Drifter, Barry Price and Junior. The Sensu Boat will leave at 7pm sharp from the Riverside Museum, and after completing the voyage down the Clyde, there will be a bus running directly to Sub Club for the after party with Mano Le Tough plus The Drifter and Cesco Ferri from 11pm till close (£27+bf/£12+bf after-party only).
