JAMES ZABIELA
Saturday 7th April 2012


Knowing what a great track should sound like - and the place it can be taken by warping and twisting it - is James Zabiela's forte. Layering different sounds with the aid of two Pioneer CDJ-2000s, a Pioneer EFX-1000, Korg Kaossilator, MIDI controller and a laptop, his hands and ears don't let up for a second, leaving any punters feet a-moving and mouth a-gap.

HARRI & DOMENIC (Sub Club)
Friday 23rd March 2012


Ever since electro, house and techno washed up on British shores, Glasgow has had a noticeably soft spot for electronic dance music, which has been in no small part due to the antics of James Harrigan and Domenic Capello. Together they've been responsible for the Sub Club's Saturday night programme for over 16 years.  More info/videos/music

THE SELECTER feat. Pauline Black & Gaps Hendrickson
Saturday 10th March 2012 (Doors 7.30pm)


The Selecter formed in 1979, spearheading the 2-tone movement alongside The Specials. The band, fronted by lead singer Pauline Black, enjoyed chart success, with the singles, Missing Words, Three Minute Hero, The Whisper and the classic On My Radio. Two albums were also released, Too Much Pressure and the critically acclaimed Celebrate The Bullet.  More info/videos/music

About us:
Since 2002, The Reading Rooms has been at the forefront of the underground clubscene in Scotland. Housed inside a former public library, with an exposed brick, warehouse-style interior and furnished with original retro decor, The Reading Rooms is home to a tight collective of some of Dundee (and Scotland's) most exciting music promoters who present an eclectic and diverse range of late night party offerings.

With a weekly programme, crossing many musical genres including electro, dubstep, reggae, funk and soul, techno to hip hop, rockabilly, dancehall and beyond, it all promises to keep this legendary venue at the forefront of the Scottish underground clubscene. To further enhance you clubbing experience, The Reading Rooms is also home to a top of the range D&B sound system.


This club reminds me of the best little clubs in Japan… and London, we're gonna have some fun tonight.
