Mel (ofthe Tunnel) and the infamous Steven Sleepman on PR. eventually takeover after several delays — watch for explosions. Rap. Italo house. techno and upfront dance music in well-trendy atmosphere. Meanwhile in the smaller room a more laid-back (but not soul) atmosphere prevails.
I City Soul Club presents Gap Soul at The Gap. 261 Hope Street (above Busters pub). 8pm-lam. £3. 25 Oct only. One-off showcasing the enduring influence ofsoul music frorn the 60s and 70s. DJs forthc night are Jim Tennant. Steve Walls. Jim O‘Hara. Lenny Ilarkins and Chris Farrell. I Crash at the Cotton Club. 11pm—3.30am. £3 (£2 with matrie card). Now officially completely unpretentious. long-running and well-respected indie crossover/dance/groove night with a loyal crowd. Don‘t forget there's £l offthe entry price if you bring back one oftheir old flyers to be recycled.
I Devotion at the Art School. 9.30pm—2am. £1.50(£l students). ‘Student music‘. soul and house. apparently. so there you go. And drinks promos.
I Earth at Rain. 375 Sauchiehall Street. llpm-3am. £3.50 (£2 with matrie card). Rare groove. soul and bass dance night building up quite a following. with DJs Nick Peacock and I Iarri. Watch out for drinks promos.
I JuJu at the Sub Club. llpm—3.30am. £4. New inshouse night which will have to struggle out of the shadow of Icon. with DJs Ilarri and Oscar (of Rain fame) ' playing funky rather than upfront dance. with live saxophone accompaniment and guest DJs.
I The Network l0.30pm—2.30am. £3(£2 before 11.30pm). Radio Clyde‘s second grooviest DJ Segun. playing a mix of dance tunes. in the main area. Swim. in the Sports Bar. plays indie and funkativity (I assume that‘s one ofthese trendy terms for funk).

I The Love Club at Joe Paparazzi. llpm—3.30am. £4 (£3 student). Yes. it‘s sad but true: one of this column’s favourite clubs. Rumble, is no more and detailson its replacement are somewhat sketchy. So far it looks like the Love Club. which is no relation to the indiepop night ofthe same name running two years ago at Peggy Sue‘s. will be more along the lines ofJoe Papp's Saturday night. which unfortunately suggests turgid house. Oh dear. The DJ is called Scoobie. Hmmm. I Shag at Fury Murry‘s. llpm—late. £3. Enjoyable mish-mash of indie-dance. pop. classic chart hits and silly singalongs.
I Temptation at Strathclyde University. 9pm-2am. Now free till further notice. Students and guests only. Tam Coyle‘s indie-dance bonanza.
I Time Warp Rock Club at The Venue. IOpm—Bam. £2.50 (£6 for weekend ticket).
TURNTABLE
This issue Marc John Carapiet who, along with Andy Gaillie, DJs at Superfly at Fury Murry's on Thursdays choses live tracks guaranteed to have toes tapping and feet shuttling at this increasingly popular club. As Marc’s record selection shows Supertly specialises in rare groove, reggae, funk, disco and soul. 80 here goes. . .
1. Tommy Hunt: You Got Me Where You Want Me Now (Spark). Classic Northern monster from the catacombs to Wigan Casino from the main man with over 30 years in the business. Keep the faith!
2. D’Jays: Love Train (CBS). Afirm favourite in dance music, it was hard to pick one fave D‘Jays number, but it had to be this anthem.
3. Eddie Holman: I Surrender (ABC). Another scorcher from the Northern scene, Holman’s pleading vocals combined with a pounding backbeat
i make this a killer.
; 4. Lee Perry and the Upsetters: The
l Vampire (Upsetter). A quick side step to the ska scene and the glorious instrumental features some of the sharpest keyboards of the late 60s.
5. Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons: The Night (Tamla Motown). A little-known classic (except for soul freaks), this criminally ignored track is missing from most of their compilation LPs. Haunting intro, building up to a storming finale. Defies anyone to stay on their seat. Simply wonderful.
They're amenable to requests, but basically it‘s a mixture of rock. metal. thrash, punk. goth and ‘good indie sounds‘ rather than heavier stuff— ie you can probably dance to it as well as nod your head a lot. All drinks£l.
I The Volcano 10pm—2am. £3 (£2 with matrie card). Student night at the all-new West End venue under the 'l'unncl’s umbrella. with DJs Rab Clarke (ex-Fury's) and the mysterious Alan. sounds like fun. with crossover. techno and rap for those lazy strides who just can't face going all the way into town.

I Oja at the Arches. l0pm—3am. £5 (£3.50). 2 Nov only. Monthly African clttb. with a touch of Latin grooves, in the cavernous space under the Central Station which was rediscovered for Culture City year — let's hope Oja has more success than Glasgow’s Glasgow.
