CLUBS

As Scotland’s original superclub, the Arches is the stuff of clubbing legend. There really is no other venue like it in the world.

Repeatedly voted one of the top 100 clubs in the world in DJ magazine, the industrial brick arches are home to a continuous roster of the world’s most in demand DJs and producers from across the dance spectrum, whether it be minimal techno, big bassline electro, hardstyle, deep house, UK bass, dubstep or trance.

With a Funktion 1 soundsystem and three fully stocked bars spread over six subterranean arches, the space is transformed each weekend depending on the faces behind the decks. From huge, sell out nights with platinum selling Ibiza trendsetters such as Alesso and Laidback Luke or legendary acts such as Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox and Jeff Mills, to the hottest, most-hyped names on the dance scene’s lips – from Jamie Jones and Nina Kraviz to Jackmaster and Omar S, ours is one of the most diverse club programmes in the city.

As well as the Arches’ own club nights, which have recently brought the likes of Hot Creations label, Madeon and Chase & Status to the venue, for many fans the Arches is synonymous with either of its two biggest nights, Pressure and Colours.

Celebrating their 20^th birthday in 2012, deep house and techno night Pressure takes place on the last Friday of each month, bringing the biggest and best names in the genre to Scotland as well as providing a platform for upcoming talent alongside resident DJs Slam. Recent guests include Vitalic, Green Velvet, Gary Beck, Joris Voorn, Maya Jane Coles, Maceo Plex, Len Faki, Nic Fanciulli, Nicole Moudaber and Marco Carola.

Scotland’s biggest dance promoter, Colours regularly bring the biggest and best names in big room house, tech-house, electro and trance to the venue, with recent guests including Alesso, Otto Knows, Laidback Luke, Dannic, Hardwell, Markus Schulz, Showtek, Gareth Emery, Nervo, AN21 & Max Vangeli, Nicky Romero and many more.
