This club night is essentially a great excuse for the ladies to get dressed up, bump and grind on the dance floor to fantastic music in a great club environment.

The boys can be tomcats admiring the kittens, but the Gentlemen play a pivotal role for this club night, because old school glamour and manners are essential. Gentlemen are invited to give up their seats and open doors.

The DJ’s for this unusual night have been hand picked for their ability to play unashamedly sexy filthy dance music that us ladies love to get down too.

Enjoy a cocktail or two if you fancy a tipple from our special Sleek cocktail menu. Our uniformed hosts and hostesses are on hand to provide you with the ultimate in hospitality. Why not get a massage or perhaps if you're a little more extroverted try some body painting?! We want you to have a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable night!

Don't know what to wear? Just for one night, hang up your jeans and your trainers and put on your best smouldering look! Think Burlesque. Think 1950's. Think Hollywood Glamour, Red Carpet, Pin-Up Girl & Sex Kitten, Corsets, Kilts and Suits.

Be eye catching eye candy. Welcome to a new and exciting clubbing experience . . .

The fabulous 5. Each DJ was chosen for this special night because of his ability to get you on the dance floor and keep you there! These boys will have you up on the dance floor grinding to an eclectic mix of filthy, sexy and damn funky beats.

Kev Wright - Plastic Fantastic & Adjust Recording: Resident at Edinburgh's late legendary night 'Sublime' and resident DJ at The Venue (RIP). Kev's unique and sexy fusion of tech trance & tribal grooves will ensure your feet are firmly on the dance floor until you can take no more... but, one more tune. Set = upstairs in Main Hall 1.30-3am

Ricky Palys - Resident Beatroot - Plastic Fantastic: Mr Palys is famous in the Edinburgh clubbing scene for getting a dulcet crew jumping! Don't be fooled by his dashing good looks or his un-adulterating charm, this guy has the innate ability to read a crowd and give them much much more than they bargained for. Set = upstairs in Main Hall 12.00-1.30am

Mike McGarrity - MNKY Resident Freqbeat: Freqbeat is one of Edinburgh's freshest, most intimate and funky clubs. MNKY is a DJ who is making a respected name for himself because of his commitment to the crowd. This guy has an amazing talent to take old school tunes and mix them to create something exciting, and uplifting. Set = upstairs in Main Hall 11pm-12 midnight

Dave Myers - Resident Eden Angels: Eden Angels is a new club growing in popularity. Dave plays whole spectrum of house and techno: From funky and bouncy to sexy and tribal. This guy can take a quiet room and instantly create the 'up-for-it' atmosphere that gets the place thumping. Set = downstairs Cocteau Lounge 1am-3am

Stephen Boyle - "DJ No Bad" - Debut Performance: And not before time either! We were lucky enough to finally convince Stephen to do us all a god damn favour and play in a club and fortunately it happens to be ours. This guy is hot hot hot. This is a man who plays in reverse - the B sides. We're willing to wager he'll be everyone's funky favourite for the night. Set = downstairs Cocteau Lounge 11pm-1am

Burlesque Performances:

Our stunningly beautiful performers, Tsui Sakura and Lucille Burns will show how "Traditional Burlesque Performance" has a firm a place in today's modern funky clubbing environment.

Traditionally, Burlesque is performed in Cabarets, but Sleek is proud to be the first dance club to offer a groundbreaking platform for Burlesque performance by fusing Burlesque tradition with contemporary dance music. The incredible effect is both mesmerizing and electric.

Burlesque Performance times:
11.53pm (DJ Mike McGarrity’s set) Fan Dance by Sakura Tsui
12.53am (DJ Ricky Palys set) Fire Act by Lucille Burns
1.53am (DJ Kev Wright's set) Balloon Act by Lucille Burns
2.53am (DJ Kev Wright's set) Trapeze Act by Sakura Tsui


Tsui Sakura and Lucille Burns are a dynamically demure duo and soooo tastefully sexy. Their enigmatic stage presence is alluring, a little bit girlie, a little bit naughty and they project how fantastic it really is - to a woman.

Their sexy routines and props are cleverly designed to take an already fabulous clubbing atmosphere and charge it with a little sexual tension! The emphasis is on tease and 'teased' you will be.

You will be treated to a grand finale Trapeze Act which will leave a lasting impression of why old school Burlesque is so fabulously sexy, and so are you.


Influences:

The B Sides! Dita Von Teese, Bettie Paige, Burlesque, Sexy Funky Dance music like Electro, House and Techno.
