Brighton’s Best DJ and Club Nights: May 2015

May is here and with it comes one of the busiest and best months Brighton has to offer full of festivals and fun! Here we’ve picked Brighton’s best DJ and Club Nights for the month with everything from Funk & Soul to Drum & Bass!

AGMP presents: Dub FX – Concorde 2

Influenced and motivated by his love for trip hop, dubstep, jungle and even grime, Dub FX is a musician whose style is constantly changing. Having toured the world with his then-fiancée Flower Fairy, who performs ‘nursery-rhyme raps’ during his shows, the two will now perform as a newly-married couple. A Dub FX show has never been predictable, and his performances utilise live looping to create rich, soulful bass music. Dub FX has established a big following in Europe with some incredible live shows, and at this show he’ll be playing songs from his recent crowd-funded album “Theory of Harmony”.

Date: Thurs 7th May
Time/Price: 7pm | £15

Itchy Feet – The Haunt

Calling all BabyDolls, Daddios and Rebels without causes (maybe even a few with some!) It’s time to get down to the best music this side of the millennia and dance to tunes so hot you’ll think you’re on holiday already… Dress sharp, dance smooth and prepare to gyrate your hips enough to make your great-gran turn in her grave!  The Itchy Feet team spend their days digging around for new ways to get your hips shaking to old sounds from the world of Funk, Soul, Rock’n’Roll, Swing, Rhythm & Blues, Reggea & Ska.

Date: Fri 8th May
Time/Price: 11pm | £3/5

Wired presents…ADRIATIQUE, Enzo Siffredi + My Cat Snoop – The Arch

ADRIATIQUE – This duos joint approach to DJing is hard to put to words but may be described as the work of true track selectors with a sound that’s at once varied yet cogent, a journey of choice tunes that are techy or deep, contemplative or energetic, constant tension and release that leaves jaws on the ground and dancing legs sore. ENZO SIFFREDI – Main man and creator of Wired & minimal kids, a fusionist in his own right. Enzo has always evolved as an outsider and continues to break musical boundaries.

Date: Sat 16th May
Time/Price: 11pm | £8 / £10

Gilles Peterson, Femi Adeyemi, Christian Piers, Lorca – Patterns

DJ, broadcaster, producer, compiler, label boss, record collector, and festival curator – the many venerable titles of Gilles Peterson!  With no signs of letting up, Gilles remains ahead of the bunch, staying righteously on top of worldwide music culture.
