Tokyoblu, Ego, Edinburgh, Mar 2

Ego can be an awkward space for the really hyped up club nights. The one room is just that, a room - with nothing wondrous or charismatic about it, and with little potential for delivering something particularly grandiose. Tonight's house-grooved Tokyoblu was meant to be "the best club night in Scotland" however there had to be more than some thinking "This is it?". But the aglow deco was a good effort for what the atmosphere lacked, and so was DJ George T - one energetic man on a mission to keep the beats reverberating though the floor; a little bewildering and exhuasting to watch. A wander downstairs to the annex was like discovering someone's cool and inconspicuous den, with funky house music and a tranquil intimacy. Perhaps 'the best' stuff happens with Tokyoblu's live band, which unfortunately did not happen this month but certainly sounds promising and more capable of fulfilling the club's inflated ambitions.
