Critic's choice: top five club nights

There's breakbeat mayhem at Fabric, a hot hip-hop party at Cargo, and a free all-day party at the Lodge taking place in the capital this weekend.

FabricLive
Fabric, EC1

It's breakbeat mayhem tonight as those Plump DJs take over Fabric's main room, with help from long-time resident Ali B, as well as Adam Freeland and Switch. Live action comes from Belfast techno rockers Alloy Mental. Meat Katie, Hybrid, James Lavelle and the Drummatic Twins also appear.
(020 7336 8898). Tonight, 9.30pm-6am.

Block Rock
Cargo, EC2

Detroit Grand Pubahs, are among the live acts taking the stage at this hot hip-hop party. There's a strong lineup of good-time hip-hop DJs playing too, including YoYo's Seb Chew, Beni G and the Blast All Stars.
(020 7739 3440). Tonight, 8pm-3am.

Nude
Ministry of Sound, SE1
Terry Hart and Smokin' Jo bring the riotous electro-house flavour of their Nude parties to an end (for the moment) with a blowout that sees Jo herself headlining in the box, backed up by Adultnapper and Mazzy Superstar. And things are never dull with madcap DJ and production duo The Loose Cannons around.
(020 7498 3908). Sat 9 Jun, 11pm-7am.

Feeling Gloomy Live Gloom
Bar Academy, N1

The ironic tribute to all things glum continues its live incarnation with an air guitar display from The Miserabilists, plus genuine instrument-playing from Tortoise Shout, Private Lives and Paris Motel. As ever, Leonard and Cliff man the turntables.
(020 7288 4400). Sat 9 Jun, 10pm-4am.

NW10
The Lodge, NW10
OK, so they could have put a bit more effort into the name, but this all-day party has plenty to recommend it. Stuart Patterson, Paddy Freeform, Katie Barber and Matt Lodge combine to deliver an extremely jovial early-summer blend of deep house, soul and reggae. Oh, and it's free.
(020 8965 3862). Sun 10 Jun, 2pm-1am.
