They have been massive fans of Firecracker Recordings releases since the very first one and they have been going berserk with excitement over the last few days. Their hard graft, no nonsense attitude and fathomless passion has helped to push their night on in leaps and bounds rarely seen in clubs these days. J immy вЂњJamminвЂќ Thomas, J ammiwam and Marmalade Maslin have been friends for years and their combined record collection is any music geekвЂ™s dream. Jam The box has been getting huge praise from all the cityвЂ™s underground dance music heads over the past few months for its relentless energy, rolling, seething, genre busting music policy and obscenely talented and knowledgeable resident dj crew. Local house music heroes House Of Traps and Fudge Fingas aka Lindsay Todd and Gav Sutherland will be stopping by the GRV for what could be one of the best clubbing events in the capital this summer. Jam The Box presents House Of Tr aps a nd Fudge Fingas (Firecracker Recordings) The GRV, Hasties Close Edinburgh Aided and abetted by his trusty partners in crime this sure looks set to be a raucous event worthy of any party monsterвЂ™s Saturday night itinary. Darren recently won the coveted IDJ Magazine Raw Talent competition and heвЂ™s looking to follow up that glory with a blistering funk fuelled house party with the doors flung wide open so everybody can come and get down. The Jam Sessions is a project put together by 3 friends from the Lothians, Darren M, Denni McCormack and Ryan M and feature the three of them playing some proper up front bumpinвЂ™, jackinвЂ™ house of the like usually heard at clubs such as Telefunken, House Arrest and Fiasco. If after a few beers in the park checkin out The Meadows Festival or catching some shows down in Leith you feel like going out for a dance, you could do a lot worse than starting your evening downstairs at City CafГ©. The Jam Sessions, City CafГ©, Blair Street, Edinburgh If you want to contact Gerry or tune in online check out the Leith FM website or you can set your radio to 98.8FM One from Jam The BoxвЂ™s Jimmy вЂњJamminвЂќ Thomas and another from Paul Nazca of Scandium Records one of FranceвЂ™s premier techno labels. So in true Vinyl club fashion he will be featuring two guest mixes this week. Host Gerry Mawhinney has been championing electronic dance music of all genres for over a year now but this Friday he is celebrating one year of top class guest mixes on the show. The show is celebrating a first birthday of sorts. Kicking off with The Vinyl Club, in itвЂ™s later than usual slot from 11.00pm вЂ“ 1.00am.

With not much clubbing action on this coming Friday in Edinburgh IвЂ™ve decided to stay in and tune in to Leith FMвЂ™s outstanding dance music radio shows. For more information please see The Meadows Festival Website.

There is no cover charge for any of the entertainment but people will be running around collecting donations to cover costs so please give generously. There will also be fairground amusements, kids entertainment, stalls, arts and Capoeira demonstrations. Featuring 26 live acts including the massively popular Messenger Sou nd System, Jesus H Foxx, Mersault and The Bhundu Dance Project entertainment will be split between 3 stages over the course of Saturday and Sunday. For up to the minute news, reviews and booking information on all events in the festival programme please take a peek at the Leith Festival Website.ДЇurther up town in the heart of the city, The Meadows Festival also takes place this weekend. From Friday 5th June through to Sunday 14th around 150 events will take place over 50 different venues featuring some international talent as well as a whole host of home-grown artists. In the north of Edinburgh this weekend, Leith Festival begins, bringing lots of live music, theatre, film, literature, spoken word, dance, comedy and various other arts forms to the old port town. And although, for some people that means Big Brother fever and Friday night evictions, for the rest of us it means partying under starry skies, festivals, barbecues, and plenty more of that feelgood vibe that only vitamin D can bring.

Blue skies, blazing sunshine and some of the highest temperatures of the year so far, it can all only mean one thing, Summer is finally here at last. Wow what an absolute scorcher of a week its been.
