Scottish Clubbing Highlights: 8-14 Jun

Clubs in Glasgow

Say No More with Lord Of The Isles @ La Cheetah Club, Fri 9 Jun 

An esteemed DJ and producer known for his live sets and all-vinyl selections, Lord Of The Isles (aka Neil McDonald) has played at the likes of Concrete, Corsica Studios and Berghain's Panorama Bar. If you're unfamiliar with his productions, a spin of his 2016 ambient house LP In Waves, or this year's EP release Parabolas Of Neon, will set you right. This will be his first time in the La Cheetah basement, with support from Say No More DJs Kanga and Baz (£7+bf).

Pressure Season Closing: Ben Klock (3hr Set) @ SWG3, Sat 10 Jun

It’s a simple yet powerful equation; take one of the world’s best DJs, German superstar Ben Klock, add that it’s the Pressure closing party, and the result? Three hours of the best techno tunes you’re likely to experience, up close and personal. Get there early to catch support slots from local legends Edit Select and Animal Farm. Tickets are down to final release for this one, so be quick (£22+bf).

Project Pablo @ Flat 0/1, Sat 10 Jun

Project Pablo, AKA Patrick Holland, is one of the many talents coming out of the Canadian electronic scene. As evinced by last year's ace house EP Beaubien Dream, he makes music with bouyant basslines, sunny synth flourishes and all-around warm grooves. With support from Goldy Biscuit & Baz from Capri Collective, this night is sure to be a flat party filled with summery vibes. Tickets are only available OTD, and it's first come first served, so get down early to avoid disappointment (£8 before midnight/ £10 after, doors close 2am).

Clubs in Edinburgh

The Skinny's Paradise Palms Takeover @ Paradise Palms, Fri 9 Jun

Want a sneak peek into the record bags and eclectic tastes of The Skinny crew? Come party with The Skinny's DJs as we take over the tropical confines of Paradise Palms, playing all the best in new music and classic party bangers. From Ibibio Sound Machine to William Onyeabor, LCD Soundsystem to Carly Rae Jepsen, The Vegan Leather to Confidence Man, we'll be keeping things lit, whatever the election result – and admission is free! 

Disorder Edinburgh presents Stranger @ The Mash House, Fri 9 Jun

Tipped as being one of Rotterdam’s best kept secrets in techno, Stranger has been championed by the likes of Dave Clarke, Sven Vath and Marcel Dettmann. He launched into 2016 with a massive opening set for New Year's Day at Awakenings in Amsterdam and is also making waves with his own Self Reflektion label. Come see what all the fuss is about (£8+bf).

Kraftwerk @ Usher Hall, Sat 10 Jun

The words ‘a group that need little introduction’ are usually – and ironically – followed by some form of introduction. None needed here. It’s Kraftwerk, people. A 3D concert experience promises to be a true don’t-miss event (they also play Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall on 9 June). Tickets from £49.50+bf.
