Scotland's pounding raveheart can be heard at Eden

The sound of Caledonia clubland this May.

Ibiza, Berlin, London… and Scotland? When listing global clubbing hotspots, Scotland might not be the first place that comes to mind, but here's why it should.

Our raving crowds are hailed as some of the best when it comes to scaling energy. And as for Scottish DJ exports like Calvin Harris, LF System, Ewan McVicar and Hannah Laing, well, they scale the charts. Now, Eden is set to jump on the tartan hype.

Amongst its early-season programme are two Scottish takeovers that stand tall and proud like a native thistle. Together, they bring the sound of Caledonia clubland to Ibiza.

First up, Glasgow's Hold On Tight! and Club Serotone get ready to send it with their newly launched party series. Through the Roof goes back-to-back across 1 and 2 May

Night one welcomes Glaswegian heroine Hayley Zalassi - a former Octan resident no less (as well as a significant contributor to Ibiza's missed flight data!) She plays with standout names Danse Atmos, Groove.FM and Edinburgh lasses SWATT Team.

24 hours later, and with the added bonus of ACLP's extensive DJ roster, the party continues.

Resident groovers include Céleste, Dominique, Off Record and dynamic sister duo Kintra (who pair soul pounding techno with live violin - a must see!)

Then on 5 May, it's over to Edinburgh party brand Elation for a full-blown Scottish showcase

Big Miz (pictured above) plugs in his USB for the night, so expect to hear plenty of collaborative EP Big Miz presents Friends FM in the mix.

The bill continues with Aberdonian duo t e s t p r e s s, Capital Dance's Meg McHugh, Mily B, and Reyka with his elixir of hard grooves, Trance and Breakbeat. 

Elation returns one week later on 12 May, this time delving into darker sonics. 

Extending invitations to international guests Doruksen, Kitti Kay and Pisapia, Elation also calls on homegrown selectors A-05, Denis Dekay, KMD and Paul Findlay who are sure to send the tempo soaring.

As Scots, we might face an occupational struggle pronouncing the name "Carl" and sport is a topic perpetually brought up at your own risk. However, nobody supports their own like the Scots do.

So, expect Scottish friends out in full force, myself included. Here we, here we...
