Studio 24 is probably as far away as you'll get from any mainstream banter in Edinburgh. It aims to be completely different, and does so pretty excellently. If you want Reggae, Dancehall, Dubstep, Punk, New Wave, Mod, Ska, Rockabilly, Surf, 60s, Psychedelia, Garage, Soul, Rock, Metal, Hardcore, Industrial, Goth, Breaks, Balkan, Psy-trance, Techno or House, then this is your place. Alternative is the name of Studio 24's game (like a nice rhyme), so if you want your jaded night time outings to be jolted back to life with a big zap of something different, then I recommend giving this well established venue a try. As well as the range of alternative nights held here, there are also a lot of live performances, and a night called The Mission, for classic rock and metal, which my rock music loving friends keep banging on about. Last time I was here I watched an awesome Ska band, then danced badly to some Reggae. The club's interior isn't aesthetically stunning or anything, but it does have huge character, and the space for gig watching is pretty big. I don't know any other venue where you get such a wide range of different kinds of people and styles mixing in the same room, and that's what really struck me when I was here. Dance and dress how you want without the fear of pretension and dubious vibes stopping you from enjoying yourself.
