Split @ Cabaret Voltaire, 20 Jan

Every Tuesday for the past four years the Split DJs have been hosting a free shakedown at Cab Vol for Edinburgh's midweek clubbers. Shadowskills and the Edinburgh:Bassed Collective control the main room, with MC Atomic, Sammy Peeps, Monterey Jack and DJ Believe rinsing out the heaviest in drum & bass and breaks alongside guests from hip-hop labels like Local Product. The back room is run by Split founder Pyz, who favours an eclectic mix of slinky electro and upfront techno from a rotating team of residents such as Ingen, The Retard Playboy and Fresh Air. Despite being a night that could easily transfer to a weekend slot and have no problem charging for entry and still filling up, Split sticks to its founding principles and refuses to sell out - it's strictly a Tuesday night affair, and it's always free, all night, for everyone.
