Vinyl, Ego, Edinburgh, 13 Sept

Discerning Edinburgh clubbers should take note of a new night being launched by promoters Club Ego. Vinyl promises to deliver 'the biggest names in breaks and electro' and makes its debut on 13 September. On that night, the club has managed to secure the fearsome talents of the Scratch Perverts, as good a way as any to make good on Vinyl's intended philosophy of providing 'an alternative for clubbers,' but with big names to fill out the club's 750 capacity. This capacity includes the two rooms of the club, including the downstairs club-within-a-club the Cocteau Lounge. In the main room, breaks will be the order of the day, while the Lounge provides a side order of electro. If all goes to plan, it looks like Thursdays will provide another reliable night of exciting alternative clubbing in the capital. [Jonathan Robert Muirhead]
