Castle Clvb, Edinburgh Castle Clvb is the new Edinburgh space diversifying the city’s nocturnal offerings with acts like Jamie XX, Disclosure, Dusky and more already having played since opening in September. The three roomed club, formerly known as Berlin, is run by a 22 year old with a track record in promotion (thanks to his We Own night) with partner and nightclub designer, Grum Anderson.

Having been three different clubs in the last three years the difficult venue has finally been tamed and is aiming to educate, edify, amaze and uplift the Edinburgh scene. As such, it’s been fitted out with a Funktion One sound system, sensory tingling LED light panel. It has low ceilings, is styled like a New York basement and offers a wide variety of music each week.

As well as midweek student, new music nights, alternate house and techno parties happen each and every Friday and Saturday, with plenty of exclusive shows and label showcases in between. Coming up before Christmas Apollina men Dyed and Dan Ghenacia on 19th, disco don Tensnake on 26th and techno king Hector on the 27th. November, meanwhile, will see house legend Chez Damier play on November 2nd, bumpy boys Bicep play the 3rd, Miguel Puente on 10th, mysterious duo Tiger & Woods on 17th and Crosstown’s latest star act Amirali on 24th.

Plugging a gap in the Edinburgh electronic landscape, Castle Clvb is building its own scene from the ground up, and already is making waves.
