RAVERS:

This might be your only chance to paint your own rainbow and not think about cleaning up afterwards.

The globetrotting Holi One festival makes its Glaswegian debut on Saturday with a party inspired by the Hindu Festival of Colours, which sees participants chucking massive bags of coloured powder all over the place as they dance, sing and generally have a good time.

Worryingly, the line-up hasn't been confirmed yet, but previous editions have featured the likes of Sebastian Ingrosso and Felix da Housecat as well as resident Florian Kunicke.

Meating up

SADDLE up: London's grooviest disco merchants are the main attraction on Jamaica Street tomorrow night, bringing their record sacks north for a super-sleazy Subbie session.

They're backed up by iAM residents Beta and Kappa, making a rare Friday night appearance.

Fans of the equine beat-slingers should also enjoy Jimmy Edgar's show at SWG3 on Saturday.

The Detroit DJ dispenses a style of funk described as "sublime (and0 vicious", which is a first for me.

He's joined by Berlin-based Chambray, who's on Edgar's ULTRAMAJIC label, and Glaswegian techno dons Sensu.

Fine art

RED Bull Music Academy (RMBA) brings beats and serious bass to The Art School tomorrow night with a banging lineup of international and local talent.

Producer Midland plays house and techno that incorporates the low ends of dubstep: he's headlining, alongside RBMA graduate Throwing Snow.

Local boys Jasper James, of Sub Club notoriety, and Andrew from the renowned Huntleys & Palmers, are on warm-up duties.

Let's get weird

WEIRD Science isn't your usual '80s night: its creators are here to promote the decade as an overlooked, unfairly-maligned artistic golden age.

It's cheap, in a great venue, and should be a ton of fun. In a curious coincidence, Killer Kitsch hosts '89 on Tuesday.

It's a night that seeks to answer the question that we've all pondered once in a while: what would Killer Kitsch be like if it was 1989?

There's only one way to find out, and that's dragging your booty to the Buff Club on Tuesday night. I don't care if it's a school night.

Elsewhere, Tremors celebrate their second birthday at Flat 0/1 tomorrow night with a free party - expect stompers all night from residents Tom Livingston and Connor Byrne.

All of this is nice, sure, but the highlight of the weekend is Mono's Summer Hoo Hah: an all-day affair with DJ sets from Sacred Paws and DJ Clambake, and live performances from Irma Vep, Clipart and Secret Admirer.

I'll make no secret of it that I'm an admirer of these guys, Mono, and its record shop and microbrewed beers, so I'm looking forward to this one immensely.

l Weird Science, tomorrow, The Poetry Club, 10pm - 2am, £3

l Killer Kitsch presents 1989, Tuesday, Buff Club, 11pm - 3am, £5

l Tremors 2nd Birthday, tomorrow, Flat 0/1, 11pm - 3am, free

l Summer Hoo Hah!, Sunday, Mono, 4pm - 11pm, £3/4 donation
