Nightwatch

Plan your weekend right with this definitive list of the hottest nights in Dubai

Last updated:

Wednesday

Fluke @ Shangri-La Pool
All manner of beats and pieces from Dubai's premier downtempo duo at the sublime surrounds of Shangri-La's pool. For some chilled midweek action, this won't be beat.

Tiefschwarz @ Trilogy
The electro-house duo are the latest in the long line of quality acts Wanted has brought to Trilogy and anyone who is into warped, twisted house needs to check this out.

Thursday

Charles Webster @ The Apartment
The deep house don will be dropping some soulful house to The Apartment. A must-see for anyone into deep, chilled grooves. Let's hope he gets the crowd he deserves.

Plastic Fantastic Machine @ Chi @ The Lodge
This larger than life Japanese DJ is something of a superstar in Japan where his sound is extremely popular. Eclecticism will be the order of the day on Thursday when bossa nova, house, lounge and film scores will jostle for room.

Pete Tong @ Madinat Arena
The UK club icon will be dropping the big hits following the Boyz II Men concert. Don't expect anything too clever – Tong likes to keep it simple, with the latest club hits being the order of the day.

Andy C @ iBO
iBO should be packed for this one as drum & bass icon, Andy C, is one of the best in the world. Not for the faint hearted, this will be a wall of sound from start to finish.

Friday

Derrick May @ Peppermint
The legendary Detroit DJ and producer will be in attendance at Peppermint for what should be a night of sonic excellence. May is a true pioneer, both in the studio and behind the decks, so this is a night not to be missed.

Mark Farina @ Trilogy
The Om Records head honcho created the legendary Mushroom Jazz club in San Francisco that defined the West Coast house sound. Expect beautiful, deep house – a refreshing change for the Trilogy faithful.

Stereo

The Cinematic Orchestra — Breathe (Ninja Tune)
Ninja Tune and The Cinematic Orchestra team up for another chilled, wide screen moment of class. Perfect for weddings, funerals, BBQs and traffic jams. Buy this now.

Chronic Sonata — Waiting is Dub (Tip of the Iceberg)
Another class effort from Chronic Sonata – think warped beats, chilled synths and some understated vocals. This producer will be massive, just remember where you read it first!

Nightmares On Wax — The Sweetest (Warp)
A top notch return to form with this dubby, downbeat gem. Warp specialises in bleepy techno, but this release proves they can slow down as well. Almost hypnotic production makes this a must-buy.
