The Globe In Brighton Sees More Great Local Parties And Djs

The Globe on Middle Street or as we like to know it as “the unofficial home of Brighton’s groove based dance community” continues to pull in the quality underground nights over the next few weeks leading into Summer 2010.

The Globe has a great basement/bar space where extra pa is always welcome plus a smashing upstairs area with occasional guest Djs accompanying what’s kicking off downstairs.

The nights are always free and attract a very clued up and friendly music and party savvy crowd.

All nights aim to finish at 3am or later.

Friday 25th June TIED with Tim Rivers and Rich Recess offering an eclectic mix of music

Saturday 26th June BEYOND with Rich Harmer and JACA serving smooth Deep House

Basement Party In Brighton

"The next one is on Saturday 7th November in a few weeks time then monthly on the first Saturday of each month"

Just wanted to pass on massive thanks to all the people that came down to the first basement party in Brighton last Saturday 24th October.

The next one is on Saturday 7th November in a few weeks time then we go monthly on the first Saturday of each month (except for December 09)

The venue is a two floored boozer just off the seafront called The Globe on Middle Street.

We're really lucky to be able to have use of the downstairs basement bar which has absolutely no sound restrictions which is very very rare for anything outside of a club space in the city nowadays.

Our first guest was AD from Brighton who used to be Harvey's right hand man back in the day.

AD played a wicked set for us and will definatley be asked back in the very near future.

Thanks also to Jamie and his Wife who follow the blog and came down after finding a baby sitter for the night, great to see you again, it's been a while.

The Globe in Brighton (Various Events From October 09)

"Recommended Brighton venue, enjoying a late night underground vibe with music to match the occasion for those in the know"

Here we go then, The Globe in Brighton is beginning to raise it's head again as a "in the know" destination for anyone wishing to get into some basement vibes on a Saturday night in town.

There are a handful of nights now focusing heavily on the groove and disco tip coming up making the venue the only dedicated spot locally where you're more or less guaranteed to get a regular dose of disco and groove in a party setting on Fridays or Saturdays in town now.

Around 2-3 years ago The Globe was very much the in place for quality underground groove based dance music locally with regular nights put on by the likes of Latenight Lounging and Askew easily catering for the more musically astute that frequented the venue each weekend.

Unfortunately changes were made internally and somehow the place fell slightly off the radar with both of the above mentioned nights moving on elsewhere as a result.

Now the situation looks promising as things are changing down in the basement once again on Middle Street .

Cosmetically The Globe is still the same, enjoying a rustic feel and interesting decor throughout, low lighting in the basement plus two separate bars (basement and upstairs both well stocked)

Now under the careful eye of the new management aka Carly from The Sidewinder there's a couple of new nights starting up in October that look worth a visit.

Disted Twisco @ The Globe, Friday 6th November 2009

One of the nights that we're all excited about is (Disted Twisco) put on by Alex Webb who provided one of our favorite guest mixes not so long ago.

Disted Twisco began life back in 2000 in Liverpool and soon became a firm favourite in the city’s underground scene. The night ran for five years and during that period it hosted guests such as Greg Wilson, Chicken Lips, Andrew Weatherall and Two Lone Swordsmen, as well as the best of the North-West’s underground players.

Alex Webb, Disted Twisco resident DJ and promoter, will be resurrecting the night on Saturday 10 October at The Globe in Brighton. You can expect chuggin house, 80’s soul and classic disco.

Listen to the set he put together for Go Bang here:

All Time Top 100 every Friday in the upstairs bar @ The Globe

This is a Brighton institution that's been going for ages and never disappoints both the avid musical fan or the casual listener.

The idea is simple, ask a well or sometimes lesser known local dj to pick 100 of their top most musical moments and invite them to play them, the nights are even recorded too, we'll try and dig some out when we can find the site they're hosted on.

Entry is Free
