CLUBS listings
GLASGOW SATURDAYS: CLUB continued
I Liquid Cool at Babaza. 9pm—3am. £5. Weekly. A.J., Kris Keegan and Ian Thompson playing top-notch vocal garage and house to a club packed with hyper- hedonistic twentysomething revellers, all of whom seem to have forgotten that they have work in the morning. If quality tunes and glamorous antics are your bag, Suns at Babaza are unmissable.
I Liquid Gold at Q. 5pm—3am. Free before 1 1pm; £5 after. Weekly. Funky tunes and club classics from Harry B., Scott McMillan and Paul Traynor at this bar-club in association with Babaza’s hedonistic extravaganza, Liquid Cool. Not to be confused with the ‘room deodoriser' of the same name.
I Li/Lo at Reds. 10pm—3am. £4 (£3). Weekly. Oscar (Mish Mash) and Harri (Subculture), sparring partners of old, join forces for some funky deep house. I Optimo at Planet Peach. 11pm—3am. £5 (£4). Weekly. Due to an international cover—up by the CIA, Brian Souter and members of the Dave Clarke Five, the Bible has been amended. The missing text from Genesis 2:2, we can now teveal, reads ‘And He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made, before popping down to ()ptimo to quaff consecrated crystal meth and wig out to the sounds of Wilkes, Twitch and Roland, and, behold, it was good.‘ It’s true, we read it on the internet. I Sin at Trash. 11pm—3am. £5 (£3). Weekly. House, garage and student classics from Jim Da Best, with drinks for £1 all night.
I Sunday at Strawberry Fields. 9pm—late. £15. Weekly. Fifteen nicker might seem a bit steep for a night down Strawberry Fields, but in addition to hanging house anthems and saucy dancing girls, the bar is totally and utterly free. Much like a stomach pump on the NHS.
I Sunday Worship at Club Budda.
l 1pm—3am. £5 (£3). Weekly. Michael Kilkie and Simon Foy do their uplifting house thing.
I Technique at The 13th Note Club (both floors). 1 1pm—3am. £2. Weekly. A different name, but the sounds stay the same: a quality selection of indie, ancient and modern, from DJ Gavin of Camera ()bscura.
I Taboo at The Velvet Rooms. llpm—3am. £5 (£3). Weekly. DMG provides the classic soul, funk and R&B. I Voyeurism at Archaos. 11pm—3am. £5 (£3). Weekly. A perv’s paradise, with peep-hole performances, non-specific fake shagging and a general atmosphere of muckiness. Oh, and there’s music too, with Mark Sherry and Paul Mendez spinning upfront, uplifting house in the main room, Naeem rocking downstairs with his hip hop selections and Paul Traynor and Naeem providing R&B cuts in the Skybar.
Chart & party
I Atmosphere at Destiny. 10pm—3am. £3 before 11pm; £4 after. Weekly. Full- on party action accompanied by generous drinks promos.

I Passionality at Planet Peach. 11.30pm—3am. £3 (£2 with flyer). Weekly. Gay night that invites you to ‘come get passionate’. Funnily enough, the music, courtesy of DJ Andy (Bennet’s/Sadie’s), promises to be cheesy chart, upfront house and handbag.
I Speedracer at The Garage. 10.30pm-3am. £5 (£3). Weekly. Indie classics with the odd daft party tune thrown in for the usual crazy crowd.

I Hot 09 at Reds. llpm—3am. £3 (£2). Weekly. An Anne Summers- sponsored night that‘s about to spice up your life. Music comes in the form of dance classics from Keith Pyper, but it’s the PVC underwear, joy juice and willy-shaped ice-cube makers that we’re after.

I Shag Tag at Archaos. 11pm—3am. £4 (£3). Weekly. Insanely successful night based on a complex numerical flirting system: everyone gets a number upon entry, then, if someone catches your eye, you write their number on the board next to your own, with the idea being that they then rush up to you and get biz-ay. Music-wise, it’s banging house and trance in the main room and across-the-board ‘madness’ from C.J. downstairs.
