CLUB OF THE WEEK
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.URBAN TORQUE @ heaven
Over the years Heaven has housed many of the best parties in clubland but, since its refurbishment last year, seems to have struggled to find strong residencies for the all-important Friday-night slot.
Urban Torque looks like it may be the answer. As with many of Heaven's most successful nights the tunes of choice will be hard-edged, reflecting a strong techno bias.
In a major coup DJ Juan Atkins has agreed to be the club's resident spinner with scores of big-name support.
In the coming weeks Dave Clarke, Justin Robertson, Carl Cox, Mr C, Derek Carter, Colin Dale and Trevor Rockliffe are all scheduled to appear.
Apart from the techno, there's drum'n'bass and break beats upstairs in the old Star Bar. Be warned, UT is for wall flowers.
Heaven has one of the best mainrooms in the country, and when the vibe is good its dancefloor is in a constant state of flux as hundreds of kids dance through to 6am. You'll need Saturday off to recover.
Fridays, The Arches, Villiers Street, Charing Cross, London WC2 (0171- 930 2020) 10.30pm-6am, pounds 5-pounds 10
THE BEST OF THE REST
JAZBAH @ the project
After forging an impressive reputation at The Square Room, JazBah moves up Charing Cross Road to the Project. The cocktail of acid jazz, Latin flavas, hip hop and rare grooves that made JazBah so popular remain, as do the cosmopolitan clientele who give the event an attractive, relaxed party vibe. If you're a little tired of bland house and crescendo beats head to the JazBah for an attractive blend of innovative mixing and a range of musical styles that will keep you pegged to the dancefloor.
Fridays, 12 Sutton Row, London W1 (0171-738 6527) 10pm-3.30am, pounds 4-pounds 5
INDULGE @ mass
Brixton's Mass goes from strength to strength as rotating events keep their promotions fresh. Tonight Indulge return with a line-up of exclusively British DJs. Producer and remixer Ashley Beedle dons his DJing hat to headline in the main room, with support from Indulge residents Tim Webster and Brendan Downing. In the bar the Dope Smugglaz make a rare DJing appearance. This is an excellent chance to see the dynamic duo performing their beats south of Birmingham.
Tonight, Brix Theatre, St Mathews Peace Garden, London SW2 (0171-737 1016) 10pm-6am, pounds 6-pounds 10
