The club guide with DJ Stuart Ojelay - May 3

The season is upon us for outdoor terrace parties and there's no better than Palava at The Coach House in Solihull. They kick off their series tonight with DJs Jon Whelan, Steve Kelley and Dave Thatcher.

Always great when innovative events crop up and none can be more said about the truly great and bonkers Magic Door, which will take place at Lab11 in Digbeth. Yes, you do enter through a magic door and then you'll be treated to some surreal delights but yet friendly fun and carnage with music supplied by Jukes of Hazard, Attison and guests.

Lush at Gorgeous in Wolverhampton have consistently packed them in this year with a combination of great drinks prices and big beats. Djs tonight include Audiopunks and Joe Campbell.

Below have been the leaders of bringing a cutting-edge sound to the Midlands for over eight years. They are celebrating just that fact on Saturday in true style. Set at the epic space that is The Arena in Digbeth this 12-hour spectacular has over three areas and will play host to Inner City Live as well as DJs Sneak, Todd Terry and Adam Shelton.

The promoters of the Midland's once again haven't let you down with supplying you this lot for Bank Holiday Sunday.

GLAS are looking at another sold out show at The Rainbow in Digbeth. Headlining this time around are Catz & Dogz from the Dirtybird imprint. Expect a first class production and nothing but hedonism.

After-party antics are brought to you by IF at Bushwackers, which never disappoints where you get down till the early hours of the morning. DJs include Kaluki Music, Onefour and Dr Love.

I'm also in Birmingham on Bank Holiday Sunday for K.I.S.S at The Slug and Lettuce. With the weather looking great, Brindley Place will no doubt be buzzing so be sure to swing by to listen to some sublime beats and take in a cocktail or two.
