[ November 28, 2009 11:00 pm to November 29, 2009 4:00 pm. ] Yes, it’s that time again for Brighton’s best kept secret (not), breaks night Slackers Convention. Tonight they’ve got three headliners, Hedflux, Neurodriver (Far Too Loud) and RMS, plus all the motley DJ crew.

Subsource, if you’ve never heard of them, have been an awesome player in the breakbeat scene and this year were nominated as best live act at Breakspoll International awards in London. They are like a cross between a world music act and a dance music cross-over band, but with some attitude in the same vein as bands like Asian Dub Foundation.

[ May 23, 2009 11:00 pm to May 24, 2009 3:00 am. ] Slackers. Yes, you’ve heard me bang on that tired old breakbeat drum for many years now and I’m sure you’re wishing breaks would die a brittle, crunked death like some old sad piece of vinyl, the way I once wished it upon many genres that will go unnamed…..anyways.

[ May 3, 2009 3:00 pm to May 4, 2009 2:00 am. ] As always, breaks n beats promoters Slackers Convention are hosting their free all-dayer in a pub, on Sunday 3 May, this time in The Worlds End on London Road, Brighton, 3pm – 2am, with a BBQ 3pm – around 7pm. New venue, yet another place to outwear the welcome.

It’s time again for Brighton to welcome two of the kings of breakbeat, Dominic Butler and Mark Yardley, AKA The Stanton Warriors. Over the years they have given us some fantastic nights and this should be no different.

Not needing much of an excuse to throw a big fuck-off party, the residents have organised a late late party at The Water Margin in Middle Street in Brighton on Friday 7th November, running from 10PM till 7AM! Did you read that? [...]
