Chris Elwell-Sutton gives his rundown on this weekend's top five club nights.

Fidgit
Plan B, SW9
The Streetlife DJs take control tonight with a heady and accessible mix of electro, hip hop, breaks and even a spot of indie. There's a more traditional, but no less satisfying, blend of hip-hop flavoured tuneage from residents Kid Who and Benjamin Money at this premier Brixton party zone.(020 7924 0480). Tonight, 9pm-5am.

Alwayz Frydayz
The Egg, N7
In association with the Adventures Close To Home types, tonight's eclectic raveup features Serge Santiago, Dan Kahunan and Baseball Furies. There's also a live set from Free Blood and an appearance from the splendidly-titled Does It Offend You Yeah? (020 7609 8364). Tonight, 9pm-6am.

Together
Turnmills, EC1
Another major monthly party tomorrow with the excellent Francois K headlining with an electro-heavy set. He's ably supported by Nic Fanciulli, Justin Robertson and Anil Chawla. There's also a live appearance from top Australian dance act, Sneaky Soundsystem, as well as Diesel DJ winner Duke Dumont and hot new duo, Uncle Buck. (020 7250 3409). Sat 29 Sep, 10pm-7am.

Subliminal Sessions
Ministry of Sound, SE1
The big cheese of soulful US house returns to the Ministry for a seven-hour session that's sure to thrill. The Housexy people take over the bar with a line-up featuring Mark Hughes, Richard Murray, Shane Kehoe and Tom Murgatroyd. (0870 0600010). Saturday, 10pm-7am.

Pure Reggae
Jamm, SW9
The fact that this early Sunday night party is free is just one of its selling points. A whole spectrum of reggae sounds - from dancehall to lover's rock - are on the menu this Sunday thanks to the turntable skills of The Dump, Blue, Harry Monk and Beatbug. (020 7274 5537). Sunday, 9pm-2.30am.
