Celebrating the release of Vancouver classics 'Final Bounce' & 'Marine Drive' on All Caps Records  Region Free the latest in Bi-Monthly Clubbing eperience created by The All Caps Family will be taking place at The Art School tonight. "It's been said that the day unravels what the night has woven so that each morning, we hold in our hands a few fringes of the tapestry of a lived life. The act of remembering is more like forgetting. For it is only when a memory is recalled that the fragile and forgotten quality of memories are revealed. We go about life weaving fragments together, fragments of ourselves we find staring back at us as we remember conversations, smells and quality of light. Alas, the sun rises today no different than in the summer of 1989. Lamenting the passage of time as experienced solely through recorded media begs the question - is there such a thing as second hand nostalgia?" Tickets will be available at the door for...

Stay Fresh residents Joshua & Greenman will be joined at the Art School from 11:00pm-3:00am by TOO NICE (Jon Phonics & DJ Milktray) and ASTRAL BLACK (J Leslie & DJ Heckter) in the Vic, and upstairs by two very special guest DJ sets from Rinse FM's BOK BOK and FAZE MIYAK. - BOK BOK (Night Slugs, Rinse FM) Bok Bok started to make his name on the underground scene around the time Grime music was first emerging. He joined forces with like-minded producer L-Vis 1990 to form Night Slugs club night in South London. Through these events and their DJ sets around Europe, the duo cultivated a unique sound and in 2010 launched as a record label. Since then NS has been a non-stop source of ambitious, cutting-edge music for the club, launching the careers of artists such as Mosca, Jam City and Girl Unit. - FAZE MIYAKE (Rinse FM, Woofer Music) ...

Maxi Dance Pool comes to Glasgow's favorite night club haunt The Berkeley Suite in Glasgow tonite. (Friday 21st July) Maxi Dance Pool is a kooky hook-up for freaky disco-philes ;- a pooling of record collections, a gathering of friends, a concentration of love for all dimensions of the Disco Spectrum both familiar and un-familiar. Dance Pool aims to be a hot trip from Classic NY disco jamms to glistening italo, Euro discotheque to synthetic funk, street boogie to Cosmic visions. Dance Pool was cooked up by Hushpuppy and MWX after a short stint as joint residents in Aberdeen’s Hot City club night. Their idea was to draw together their passion for the decade of disco sounds between 1975-1985, their ideas for visuals, design and event dressing, as well as their friends and peers with similar tastes, to create an club night that was all about shared PASSIONS. The second Dance Pool happening is touching down in the deep red basement of The Berkeley Suite on Friday ...
