EDINBURGH ;
‘ the sad demise of Parade last week.
Fndays
I Beatbox Teviot Debating Hall 9pm—2am. (Students and Guests only). FREE. Pseudo-trendy student disco playing the kind of slick, soul-boy fare that appeals to Edinburgh‘s sideburned fraternity. Downstairs however, in the intimate surroundings ofthe Park Room. another (better) club takes
place, featuring the relentless pulse of indie dance such as the Beloved.
I Dream The Mission. 10pm—3am. £3. Still run by the Slam and Dream crew, still mixing upfront house fusion, still full of kids in big white trainers. But. wait for it— they’ve got new flyers! And rather groovy they are too, in a lurid psychedelic sortof way. But it‘s a start. Seriously though. the only Friday dance club, and as such, worth a visit.
I Floral Riot Network 2. 10.30pm-4am. £2. Experience an indie explosion ofsonic flower grooves at what is currently Edinburgh‘s busiest club. From Primal Scream to The Pastels, from The Smiths to The Stone Roses, a carefully considered playlist is ensuring a packed dancefloor. I Green Banana Club Potterrow.

I Marleys Shady Lady‘s 10.30pm—3am. £2. Living up to its name the club plays mostly MOR reggae to a mostly older crowd. A smaller crowd too. oflate. though with the supposed upsurge in popularity of this kind of music you never know what might happen.

Breathless continues not only to draw a good student crowd but also encompass-:s more up-to-date sounds. combining Prince.

I Loaded The Mission. 10.30pm—3am. £2. See preview.
I Lite Shady Lady‘s. 9.30pm—2am. £2. Bit ofan unknown quantity this one. I'm afraid. but they do have the lnsipid Carpets cow on their flyers. so I'd hazard a guess at music with a Mancunian bias.
