[ November 26, 2009 10:00 pm to November 27, 2009 2:00 am. ] The first Donky Pitch night was only held back in June this year but is already proving to be a heavyweight addition to the underground music scene in Brighton, playing cutting edge experimental hip-hop and electronica, without the added pretentiousness but with a lot of fun(k).

[ November 24, 2009; 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. ] Ableton and Novation are on tour throughout November with dates in UK cities from Brighton to Glasgow. Product specialists will be demonstrating the latest version of Live, demonstrating tips and tricks for beginners and advanced users and showcasing Launchpad, Novation’s brand new controller for Ableton Live.

The celebrations will take place at the Om Bar and will feature another welcome DJ set from Evil Eddie Richards. Joining Richards on the decks will be HyperColour’s main man Jamie Russell (AKA Cedric Maison) and Paul Church. It all kicks off at 11 and goes on till 3am. The best part of it all is that it’s free.

[ November 14, 2009 8:00 pm to November 15, 2009 4:00 am. ] This November, Brap FM are 3 and it goes without saying that a part-ay is in order.It’s being held on Saturday 14 November, from 8pm to 4am at Tom’s Bar over on Princes Street, which I thought had been closed by the council due to noise complaints – a sweaty small venue that’s not without its charms and perfect for ruining you and your mates on this occasion.

[ October 23, 2009 6:30 pm to October 24, 2009 2:00 am. ] For those of you who can’t get enough of Acid House, you can now spend an entire evening reliving the days with two back to back films “Summer of Rave” and “High on Hope”, followed by Rocky (X-Press 2) and Midnight Steppers’ Neville Watson on the decks at DJFlicks.

[ November 14, 2009; 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm. ] 2012 Olympics are a few years off, but there’s one match that’s more about the beats than the punches – UK beatbox champ and Brighton legend Beardyman takes on classical music on their home turf, placing his mouth-driven beats straight up against Heritage Orchestra on Saturday 14 November at De La Warr Pavillion, just down the road in Bexhill.

[ November 11, 2009; 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. ] Audio have lined up The Field, aka Axel Willner, to perform a live show at the venue in November. To my dismay it’s an early show – something I’ve never really been a fan of. I prefer to have the whole evening to enjoy not to climax quickly and toddle off home. Saying that it is on a weekday – maybe it’s a safer choice after all.

[ October 21, 2009 11:00 pm to October 22, 2009 3:00 am. ] Another big night for Supercharged’s mid-week meltdown on 21 October, as Rusko and 2 Bit Thugs come to take Audio down. Feel a bit like the weather forecaster when I say that I think this one’s going to be mucho packed.
