NIGHT OF THE WEEK: ELEMENTS @ THE LANE

ONE of the last true underground venues in Edinburgh, The Lane plays host to many nights aimed squarely at providing the best the underground music the scene has to offer.

Tonight you’ll hear exactly that at Elements. Billed as the only trance night featuring a full Scottish DJ roster made up entirely of local boys and one little lady playing pumping tunes, Elements finds the west end club split into two rooms - one trance, the other techno, so there’s plenty of choice as far as having a banging night out is concerned and, as it’s on a Friday, a whole weekend to recover.

Elements boasts the Scottish premier league of fresh new talent on the decks, all fired up and ready to rip the lid off the club. Tonight’s bill is a line up that doesn’t take any prisoners so if all you are looking for is a place to dance around your handbags girls, then this is a no no. Dirty, sexy grooves and an explosive party is what to expect as headliner Stu Patchitt is joined by an army of trance cadets, most notably John Newall, who tore the Ministry Of Sound apart in London a month ago. Now he is ready to do the same on his home turf.

Paul Millar’s squad in the other room are armed to the teeth with thumping techno strikers, notably Jamie Stenhouse, who lives, breaths and eats techno. Expect something special from this lad. He’s a wee half pinter who punches well above his weight as Koen Groenveld discovered when Stenhouse warmed up for him in Glasgow’s Arches nightclub recently. New girl Debbie Grant, who is popping up all around the country at the moment, will playing a electro charge techno with finesse. Looking for a night out tonight? 

You could do worse than brave the Elements.
