Taste returns to Cabaret Voltaire

The long-running club's homecoming is sure to be an epic night.

Article by Gemma Couper | 13 Oct 2006

Edinburgh's self-proclaimed club for "extroverts & perverts", Taste, is on the move this October 8 with guest DJs Spooky taking to the stage, in a step that has been seen as somewhat of a homecoming to Cabaret Voltaire - the new host of the stalwart Sunday night social.

The Edinburgh club scene has recently seen closures of certain key venues, with some popular club nights failing to resurface in new locations. Taste, however, has found residency in Edinburgh, and its loyal fan base of club-goers boasts over 3000 members on their books, with ever-increasing international popularity. The club also offers something to the LGBT scene - with a non-pretentious ethos, and an 'anything goes' attitude, Taste draws in a diverse but welcoming and friendly crowd which ensures a packed club.

October 8 will play host to Spooky, a.k.a Charlie May and Duncan Forbes – a night not to be missed with the talented duo's blend of funky and banging remixes and a repertoire bound to keep Taste's au fait clubbers dancing well into the small hours. Spooky gained national and international acclaim with their first album 'Gargantuan' in 1992. After this success they developed a distinctive and innovative style in their live shows, and over the past five years their creativity has seen them play alongside dance innovators Aphex Twin and Orbital, not to mention gigs at a host of respected festivals. The homecoming bash is guaranteed to be an all-out hedonistic affair, with resident DJs and pioneers Fisher & Price providing their own brand of original house.

Taste's move back to Cab Vol heralds another positive step in the club's history. Cabaret Voltaire offers the style and panache of a slinky club but with the banging house tracks of an illegal quarry party. A night not be missed for both the regulars and first timers alike. Keep your diary free for at least two days - you may need recovery time after what's bound to be a crazy one. [Gemma Couper]
