The dust has barely settled on the first of the 2016 summer festivals - at the Riverside Museum, on the north bank of the Clyde, the stages from last weekend’s Electric Frog and pressure Riverside Festival have been dismantled and the cleanup is all but complete. But the Glaswegian capacity for raving knows no bounds, and so we have another mad one to look forward to immediately.

Every year, Coloursfest is one of the most keenly-anticipated days on the clubbing calendar, and this 15th anniversary edition is a particularly special one. The cream of the world’s electro-house, trance and hardstyle will be just across the water in Renfrew on Saturday: with six stages, over 50 DJs and thousands of clubbers, this is a giant, but perfectly-framed, study in going absolutely tonto. The main arena is full of the kind of banging electro-house that, in Ibiza, will surely soundtrack the death of billions upon billions of brain cells this summer.

The Dutch are the internationally-renowned masters in this field, so who better to headline than a contingent of the country’s biggest exports? Blasterjaxx are from The Hague, the Netherlands’ notoriously stuffy administrative capital, but don’t let that fool you. Fresh from gigs in Japan, Chicago, Italy and Holland, and having just dropped The Silmarillia - a surprisingly panpipe-heavy new track – these big-room masters will be fully up for causing some chaos.

Amsterdam’s Laidback Luke, a prolific electro-house DJ and producer, also takes to the main stage. Born in Manila and raised in Holland, he also has a colourful off-stage CV: he’s a former graffiti artist, was crowned kung fu world champion in 2013, and performs with his wife, New Yorker Gina Turner, as Nouveau Yorican – a bouncy, latin-inspired house project. Luke, who last week name-checked The Arches as one of the world’s great clubs in an online Q&A, is pure box office, and he clearly loves playing here: his set is guaranteed to be massive and memorable. The main stage lineup is completed by Dutchmen R3hab and Dyro, as well as Berlin-based Thomas Gold and local prodigy Calvin Logue, who had barely started shaving when he made the Vestax Top 20 Scottish DJs list. One to watch this weekend and in the future, indeed.

Elsewhere, Irish producer Bryan Kearney curates the Kearnage arena, which has the trance veteran Joint Operations Centre headlining. Kutski brings his relentless hardstyle vibes to the Keeping the Rave Alive stage, ‘90s ravers Shades of Rhythm offer up some welcome nostalgia in the Fantazia arena, and Dundee’s Hannah Laing spins vocal tech house on the Nu Gen stage. And it wouldn’t be Colours without local legend George Bowie, would it? The beloved local legend oversees the GBX Outdoor Stage, where Darren Styles, Mallorca Lee, and the great man himself will be causing it.

Green Velvet

“Has anybody seen my brain today?”, shrieks Green Velvet towards the end of his 2001 enormo-hit La La Land. It’s a feeling that might be echoed across the region, after the seminal Chicago producer has had his way with SWG3 on Saturday night. With his shock of neon green hair and distinctive cyberpunk sunglasses, the man otherwise known as Curtis Jones is one of dance’s most resilient weirdos – an “ageless, unapologetic raver,” in his own words. Earlier this year, Jones dropped a Beyonce-style surprise album, recorded with Detroit producer Carl Craig, on an unsuspecting world. It was quickly described as a “mind bending exercising in pummeling galactic techno,” and perhaps it wouldn’t be remiss to expect some of that, along with his usual proper, soulful house and techno – with added acid influences and elastic basslines – at this sold-out show. Support comes from Edinburgh house heavyweight Theo Kottis.

Melting Pot

There are few figures in British dance music who have had the influence and impact of Greg Wilson, who headlines Melting Pot’s last night before the summer break. The Englishman started DJing at the age of 15, and went on to become a resident at legendary Northern clubs like Wigan Pier and the Hacienda in Manchester. He hung up his headphones prematurely in 1983, only to make a return two decades later. Melting Pot were one of the first clubs he played after this self-imposed exile, so there’s going to be a lot of love in the room when he takes to the Melting Pot booth with his trusty reel-to-reel tape player. Prepare for a schooling in obscure electro, funk, house and boogie from a true master.

• Melting Pot with Greg Wilson, Saturday, The Admiral, 11pm – 4am, £12
