CLUB OF THE WEEK

NYMPH @ mass

This gig comes round once a month (on the second Saturday) and will help build up your clubbing appetite for the annual club-fest of New Year's Eve.

As if Roger Sanchez isn't enough to get you reaching for your dancing shoes, those clever promoters at Nymph have also secured the mixing services of Joey Negro and Daniele Davoli for their third gig in Brixton.

Sanchez's uplifting, hard-edged house, coupled with his willingness to experiment in-the-mix, always has the dancefloor writhing. Joey Negro's brand of beats make him the UK's heavyweight boogie King while Danielle Davoli is the Latin spinner/producer behind 1980s chart toppers, Black Box.

Last month's offering from Mass blew up big-time - not content to sit on their laurels, there is a real buzz about tonight. So with a crowd more interested in partying than posing, and DJ support from Andy Cato, Tarun and Kenny Charles this gig makes club of the week at a canter.

Tonight, St Matthews Church, London SW2 (0181-767 9925) 10pm-6am pounds 10 before 11pm/pounds 14 after/ NUS pounds 10 before 12am
