PICK OF THE CLUBS: Madame Belles @ Lulu


EDINBURGH’S George street is the perfect setting for a salubrious night out.
However, with a huge choice of bars, restaurants and clubs, it can be difficult to find somewhere special.
Not any more... just head for Madame Belle’s, every Thursday at Lulu. 
Trendy, smart, with wall to wall glamour, the venue’s custom-made decor adds visual depth to the masquerade ball vibe that the night promotes. 
Feel free to dress up in corsets and masks if you are feeling fruity to get into the swing of things - women, too. 
Perfect for the forward- thinking revellers, Madame Belle’s tends to attract a good mix of smart students, young professionals and, of course, those who are up for a midweek party at midweek prices.
Just ask this week’s featured Edinburgh clubbers (above). 
Madeleine Barratt (21), Stephanie Barratt (21) and Daena Lorne (20) were out celebrating a birthday. Lorne says, “We love the party atmosphere here, it’s a luxurious and comfortable club, a perfect place to have a good time”.
Like the club’s regulars, the girls had a great time, dancing with friends long into the night courtesy of resident DJ Jez Hill. 
Hill is occasionally joined by various guests  and mixes up a massive party playlist featuring the best in hip-hop, funky house, bouncy electro and big room anthems.
There’s something for everyone, and if you are feeling flush, look into the VIP area with table service offering the best bubbly to add sparkle to your evening. Madame Belle’s has it all...  just bring your own mask.

GRANT PATERSON'S FLOOR FILLERS:

 GP - FLOORFILLERS MIX - 09_06_11 by The Guide Clubland

Hysteric Ego - Want Love (2011) (Dean Newton 2011 Remix)
EDINBURGH’S very own Dean Newton takes the ‘96 classic and adds his own twist, a deep bassline and tribal percussion. 
There’s no way you can ignore this infectious chart bursting cut, which is sure to be equally massive second time round.
 
Francesco Pico & Eelke Kleijn - Supersize Us
THIS smooth, melodic progressive builder sails into spine tingling waters, grooving into a hands in the air anthem. Smiles on faces. Job done boys. Supersised.
 
Jose Vizcaino - People Around (Original Mix) 
HYPE are striving to the top making deep progressive grooves which can be played out in airy festival spaces or  dark atmospheric clubs. Expect all the top jocks to have this in their box. Hypnotic dubs.
 
Laera feat. Fuiano - The World (Original Mix)
ON the summer house tip, Fuianos laidback lyrics epitomise all that’s good in Jim Morrison’s tones. A sax drifts over a  deep bass groove. Brilliant. A beachside burner. 
 
Kris Wadsworth - Lime and Pink (Burnski Remix) 
FINEST quality deep house. This is impossible to ignore. Somehow it makes you reminisce about all those fantastic summers. Good times.

Pick Of The Club Nights: Ultragroove 
Cabaret Voltaire, Blair Street, Saturday, 11pm-3am, £6-£8, 0131-220 6176

 

ON Saturday night, Edinburgh’s longest running house night Ultragroove takes a bold step forward with a controversial proposal... they have NO big name DJs. 

There’s not the slightest sniff of a New York chilli-dog or the hint of a swaggering London boy, instead, promoter Gareth Sommerville has chosen to go back to basics and build a night around local, home-grown talent.
Ultragroove’s back-room DJ duo Lel Palfrey and Carina Ramos headline the event. Known for their tag team-style, spinning funk, soul and disco, they’ll be changing their music policy a little as Ramos explains.

“We’re booked for the Main Room on Saturday night, so we’ll be introducing house with some cheeky edits. Four to the floor kind of gear played alongside our trademark disco-boogie stuff, for which we’re better known.”
The duo know exactly what they’re doing, having warmed up crowds for biggies such as DJ Sneak, Frank Trope, Honey Dijon, Mark Farina and Craig Smith. 

Palfrey adds, “The past year has seen us rack up a number of regular spots in The Newsroom, City Cafe, Sygn, Bon Vivant, Wash Bar, Livingroom and The Outhouse.
“We love playing Ultragroove, the crowd are so open-minded and up for a party. The place is always buzzing and we’re both really looking forward to Saturday. It’ll be great to be back on the decks together.”
No reason not to support your local DJs then.

Words: Grant Paterson
