It has begun!

It seems like Brighton Fusion may have lost the point along the way.

We’ve been running since 2004 now and things sure have changed a lot in that time. We’ve seen clubs come and go, magazines go out of print, not so free parties along the beach, and cycles of different students hit our shores.

Over the past few years it has become increasingly more difficult for the smaller Brighton promoters to run their nights successfully. The heart has been there, but the interest and financial gain has been fading. Long standing club nights have folded under the pressure, not forgetting record shops which have been Brighton institutions. The kind of places which kept the city current and beating. Expressing concerns these days are often greeted with blank faceless expressions.

It has to be said that times have changed greatly, technology and fashion have made dance music more accessible to the masses. But in some ways it has lost its spirit along the way.

It’s these changes that have hit us hard. We’ve had to think long about this and we’re gonna stay and we are gonna focus on the things that matter.

We are stripping the site down and moving to a blog format. We will still work on having a closed team for reviews and articles. We feel this works better for all, and will result in a enhanced, more reactive product.

We could have stayed with the same format, we could have folded, but what good is that to anyone? Brighton Fusion was never meant to be a site which was static – looping the same listings and information.

With a blog, we aim to bring you something more organic, something more free and in the end more in line with Brighton. We will bring you new Brighton music, news and gossip.

So here’s two fingers at web design, meetings with self-proclaimed creative geniuses and striving to keep a current look. It’s basic, it’s simple, totally striped back and all about the content. Reviews from people in the game with experience and professional event photography from our own guys.

So… welcome to our new blog format.
