Nightwatch

Wednesday
Asad Rizvi @ Trilogy
Self-described "tech, house, boogie, funk" merchant, Rizvi is one of London's best underground DJs. Don't expect a big crowd for this, but those that do make the effort will be rewarded with a night of quality tunes.

Thursday
The Beat Thiefs @ The Apartment
UK cheesy house duo that will no doubt be banging out the big tunes in between cutting and scratching. Expect the crowd to resemble a hen night in Magaluf. Try Trilogy instead.

Patrick Bodner @ Trilogy
One half of German twisted electro act M.A.N.D.Y., Bodner is something of a whizz behind the decks. Expect to hear everything from glammed-up pop to shiny techno. The place to be tomorrow night.

Haneef Raisani @ Lotus One
Boss of Dubai's first house label - Raisani Records - will be dropping by every two weeks for a dose of straight four to the
floor fun. Lotus One is normally grim, but this might be worth heading down for.

Friday

Miguel Migs @ Trilogy
Deep house don all the way from 'Frisco, Migs is the king of etheral, groovy, deep house. Anyone who has checked one of his numerous releases will know what to expect. Good weekend's work from Trilogy.

Arabella @ Lotus One
If you like preening wannabe models and white-jacket-wearing guys with ridiculous facial hair, then this is the place to be. Supposedly for "high society", this will no doubt attract the dregs. Avoid.

Stereo

Kokolo - Sabrosso (Freestyle)
Jazz infused samba madness that hits all the right spots. The flip side sees White Mike's rework fall flat, but the Beatfanatic rework of Mama rocks.

Eva Be - Trippin' On Eva B (Sonar Kollektiv)
Get this for the jaw droppingly good Spleen's 8 Channel dub remix of the title track. A crunchy dismembered bassline filters around some spaced out vocals. More brilliance from one of Europe's premier labels.

Beatconductor - G Sus Is Da Thang (Nitevibes)
Beatconductor pull out all the stops yet again with a slice of widescreen Seventies-style funk that is sure to rock any
dancefloor. Pure class yet again.
