CLUB NIGHT OF THE WEEK: EDDIE HALLIWELL @ CITY 

Dress code: Glam for the girls, clubby and trendy for the boys.
Music: Trance, techno, electro & house.
DJs: Eddie Halliwell, Claudia Cazacu, Jason Cortez and Stephen Kirkwood.

It’s so hot that the air is thick with moisture and a cloud of mist forms around the DJ box. Lasers try to penetrate through but still you can’t see him. You know he’s there because the  shouts now become deafening. They hail his name like a legion honouring their god, the lord of the dance is here… Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!


Eddie Halliwell is back, headlining City tomorrow night and he’s sharper than ever. Halliwell’s technical ability is so well respected that the Japanese boffins over at Pioneer drafted him in to help design the revolutionary CDJ 2000 digital turntable. Combining cutting-edge technology with his traditional vinyl skills, his sets are so energy driven that they should carry a health warning. Halliwell uses scratching, looping, remixing and re-sampling all done on the fly. With what seems like a psychic ability to read the crowd, he fires out big tune after big tune with relentless success. Three hours of non-stop dancing is on the agenda, so I recommend dancing trainers.


Halliwell’s style has earned him residencies at the biggest parties in the world, selling out clubs in every continent and DJing prime time radio slots. The result has been countless top DJ poll positions in every relevant clubbing publication that use letters to form words, praised by his peers and with the likes of Paul Van Dyk as his fan base. Halliwell will be joined by Romanian pin up girl, DJ Claudia Cazacu, who intends to fire up the party with her own blend of pumping tunes to get you hot under the collar. Edinburgh lads Jason Cortez and Stephen Kirkwood will be warming up for them, so expect something special.


City is the biggest club in Edinburgh and perfect for a massive party, so get yourself down to see one of the world’s biggest DJ superstars.
