Burberry bypass

Love drum'n'bass but don't like the way that Burberry cap jars with your outfit? Traffic may provide the solution. The Whitechapel-based night has built up a solid reputation for its forward-thinking, attitude-free, monthly events.

Fabio takes control tomorrow with a special two-hour journey through the history of drum'n'bass, from the legendary mid-1990s club Speed to the present-day Swerve. There's plenty of new talent here, too: residents DM C.U.T. and Danny Exile are both starting to establish names for themselves, as is MC Low-Qui, whose honey-like flow is one of the most underrated on the circuit. The second room, hosted by Bubblers Hi-Fi, takes in hip hop, dub and breaks.

While the royal family and the Post Office teeter like stiletto-heeled girls at 3am, it's good to see that dance music's most venerable institutions can still set a fine example.

Bugged Out! celebrates nine years of bringing people quality, underground dance music, this Saturday at The End. Techno maestro Dave Clarke (riding the current crest of his second album, Devil's Advocate) heads the line-up, making only his second ever appearance at the West End club.

He is joined in the main room by Ewan Pearson, NagNagNag's Jojo de Freq and Chris Blue. Expect a clued-up tour around all that's good in the world: jacking techno, ghetto booty, electro and bouncing house, without lampshade-wearing trendsetters blocking the path to the bar.

Ghent's Glimmer Twins play in the lounge alongside resident Erol Alkan and come highly recommended - think a more soulful version of 2ManyDJs. Make them earn their fee by requesting Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up and gasp as they cut it up with Margaret Thatcher speeches and bleepy electro to create the greatest record you've ever heard.

Over in West London, Ben Watt's Neighbourhood venture seems to have quickly found its feet and programmed an impressive range of nights. The venue's Saturday offering is One Starry Night, designed to present 'shifting perspectives in contemporary soulful club music' (a rather bombastic way of saying that it has different DJs each week, but anyway).

This week, monthly resident Peter Adarkwah (BBE Records) is joined by Munich's excellent Rainer Truby. A tight and upbeat selection of Brazilian beats, sunny Latin soul and leftfield nu jazz should be the order of the day, with Truby's renowned deck skills safely escorting all eight-minute xylophone solos from the venue.

One of the best allday Sunday sessions, Sundaysonic at the Notting Hill Arts Club celebrates its second birthday this weekend.

Across nine hours expect to hear the best soul, funk, R'n'B, disco, dub and deep house from residents Stuart Patterson and Leo Elstob. The duo are also joined by New Zealander Nathan Haines, who will be packing his sax, flute and clarinet for some live improvisation action. Haines was first spotted by Gilles Peterson in 1993 and has worked in the studio with talent including Phil Asher, 4Hero, Alex Attias and Bugz In The Attic. Further DJ support comes from New York's boogie king, Adam Goldstone.
