The Drum and Bass Curriculum - December 2006

Christmas is coming and the Beats are definitely getting fat. December rolls out another month of bass and closes a fine year of D&B. On 1 Dec your festive frolics start with a liquid appetiser at the City Café and the finger lickin' flavours of Codenine (they appear back there on the 15th & 29th and its free!). Following that is the launch of Edinburgh's newest night, Sequential, at Studio 24. For the launch there are no holds barred as Baron makes a visit to the capital along side new resident Slow Motion Ninja (£10, 10.30pm – 3am). Next up, on Friday 15th, is the long awaited Scottish debut of the Dutch trio, Noisia, who are sure to arrive all guns blazing at the Bongo Club door. Support for this event comes courtesy of a Back-to-Back set between E.N.O & Paul Reset alongside GT and MC's BZ & Tonn Piper (11pm–3am). Saturday 23th takes us to Club Ego where Obscene is smashing it down with an end of year residents' bash (11pm–late). Finally, our year of D&B closes with the second Sequential instalment on 29 Dec at Studio 24, featuring Technique Recordings' head honcho Simon 'Bassline' Smith with an exclusive two hour set (£10, 10.30pm–3am).
