I Beatbox‘l‘ev-iot Debating Hall 9pm—2am. (Students and (iuests only). FRI-IE. Pseudo-trendy student disCo playing the kind ofslick. soul-boy fare that appeals to Edinburgh's sideburned fraternity.

I Dream The Mission 10pm—3am. £3. Upfront house fusion mixed by Edinburgh‘s Dream and some of Glasgow's Slam crew. Using the venue and music selection to its fullest. look out for the £1 entry leaflets bearing that by now familiar Chanel rip-off logo. Time for a change perhaps. boys‘.’

I Parade Wilkie House. 1 1pm—3am. £3. (students £2.50). See panel.
I Power The Mission. 10pm—3am. £3. Following in the footsteps ofthe long-running Kangaroo Klub. this aims to banish the prevalent sense offashionable elitism which exists in city clubbing by featuring swing beat and house in a less style-conscious atmosphere. And with the demise of Spanish Harlem last week. it might well succeed.

VVednesdays
I Breathless Potterrow. 8pm—1am. Students 50p with matrie card. guests £1.50. Breathless continues to not only draw a good student crowd but also to encompass more up-to-date sounds. combining Prince. Electribe 101 and De La Soul for a night that is perhaps the best of its kind. Maybe the fact that they have the cheapest bar prices in town helps it retain a sense of fun.

best playlists in town. The Deep supplim serious rave for the middle of the week. Not. however. that many Edinburgh clubbers seem to have noticed.

I Atomic hi-NBG Attack The Penthouse. 8pm—lam. Hi-NRG. UK imports, remixes. chart and dance music.
I Shag The Mission. 10.30pm—3am. £1.50. Those fun-loving Shag boys pick up where Carry On . . . left off. to producea club with a squeaky clean sense of humour. Edinburgh's largest collection of tacky records continues to grow. but you can now get housey downstairs. More fun than edible wallpaper. they tell me — and that's saying something. Be warned though; the doors close when the chocolate runs out.
