SHANGRILA PROPAGANDA
The exalted cave-like underground of the Arches hosts some of the biggest names in dance and has the i nest deco on the Glasgow club scene. This weekly night offers low-price drinks and an anything- goes attitude – perfect for channelling the 90s rave spirit. Emerging house star Bontan guest DJs on 24 Sep. The Arches, Wednesdays, £5. Propaganda is a UK-wide affair, and it hits this stellar Glasgow gig venue every Friday night. Though claiming to have an indie focus, it veers slightly towards the commercial side of the scale. But a big dance l oor, student-friendly prices and famous guest DJs do make it a great start to the weekend. O2 ABC, Fridays, £4 (£5 non-students).

THE BIG CHEESE I LOVE HIP HOP
A staple of the week for student night life. Spread over two l oors of the Edinburgh University student union, cheap drinks abound, as do feelings of 90s nostalgia when S Club 7 hit the speakers. It’s worth staying until the end for the Grease megamix. Get there early to avoid the long queue. Potterow, Saturdays, £4 (£3 before midnight). This Cowgate alternative to the Hive down the road delivers the goods for rap, R&B and hip hop lovers. With a mix of old and new (Beastie Boys l itting between 50 Cent and Kanye West) it caters to fans as well as casual club-goers wanting a good night out. Keep an eye out for the occasional MC performances too. Bongo Club, Tuesdays, £3.
