Since the clubs have reopened over a year ago, there has been a lot of catching up to do for lost time. Every week in London comes with a packed out schedule, leaving us inconveniently spoiled for choice. So come back here every Monday for our Top 5 events for the week to avoid missing out on the best nights.
Ukraine Fundraiser: Daphni & more - at fabric - Thursday 23rd March
Thursday 21:00 - 03:00 | fabric - 77a Charterhouse St, Clerkenwell, EC1M 6HJ | Tickets at £17.50
For a good cause, fabric is hosting Daphni along numerous other big names in dance, some of them Ukranian for an all-nighter in Farringdon. A relatively inexpensive price for a London club ticket these days, yet all proceeds will be split between Insight NGO and World Central Kitchen. Daphni, the alternate moniker of Canadian star Caribou (when he's playing his dance selections), has been one of the nations greatest exports for rave music in the last decade, and generously giving his time and talent for these worthwhile charities.

Beirut Groove Collective - at The Marquis - Friday 24th of March
Friday 20:00 - 01:30 | The Marquis - 48 Stoke Newington Road, N16 7XJ | Tickets from £10
Gracing Stoke Newington this weekend are the enigmatic and troubadouring Beirut Groove Collective, a group of musicians, artists, listeners, and fans, splitting responsibilities of DJing, cratedigging, organising, and promoting obscure and largely undiscovered records from North Africa, the Middle East, the Caucasus, and the rest of the non-West. Voted by the New York Times as one of the top 15 parties around the world, the Beirut Groove Collective have been bringing esoteric heat to big cities worldwide for the last decade and a half. Don't expect to hear any song you know, but here's a Boiler Room set from this Friday's DJ Ernesto Chahoud, to familiarise you with the vibe.

DnB Showcase - at KOKO - Friday 24th of March
Friday 22:00 - 3:00 | KOKO - 1a Camden High Street, Camden Town, NW1 7JE | Tickets from £14.75
This one's for my ravers. A heritage night for one of the biggest legends in drum and bass, DJ Randall had been the genesis of many of the genres biggest artists. Beginning in the late 80s, back before 'drum and bass' even had a name, DJ Randall was pioneering and venturing into the unknown, bridging the monumental gap between acid house and jungle. This all-nighter in Camden will be a historical eve, a jungle set to bring us back to jungle's golden years. For olders and youngers alike. Just keep your laces tied.
