As far as clubs go in Brighton, Ben Gill and team have held on to their reign at the Ocean Rooms for a good run. Though no one thought it would crumble down the way it has. Following a death at the venue on New Year’s Day, the venue was shut by the council and put up for sale by the owners.

Brighton venues – web presence reality
Brighton has enough clubs and bars to give yourself serious liver problems for life. Well, maybe not so lucky for the liver, but great for your social life. You’d think in a financial crisis our venues would be doing all they can in these digital days to get in new business. From what we have seen online, this really isn’t the case.
Team Pryce take a glance at what’s left of March…
Starting off with Mary’s Birthday, having a night off taking pictures and hitting the wrong side of 25. 14/03/09 Digital for ‘Fake Blood’ on Saturday. Hope to see you there. 15/03/09 Audio for Sundae Sundae for some gay house tunes and an afternoon party for that spring feeling thats in the air. 20/03/09 Audio: Local boy Bonobo from Tru Thoughts is on the decks doing that jazzy thang. 20/03/09 Dubpressure at the Volks, the usual random mash up featuring Elemental.
Together @ Oxygen Red
[ February 7, 2009 8:00 pm to February 8, 2009 2:00 am. ] Now here’s something you don’t see everyday – 24 DJs all in one evening. That’s the concept of “Together”, a charity event taking place on the 7th of February 2009. They are hoping to raise at least £1000 for Cancer Research. The organisers say it’s the format which makes it different: “24 DJs playing, all doing back to back sets of 30 minutes each, and all playing music you normally wouldn’t associate with their particular nights.”

Jeff Mills // The Ocean Rooms
I left the country to see Jeff Mills once; he never turned up, now finally I got my chance.

Plump DJs @ The Ocean Rooms
[ October 15, 2008 10:00 pm to October 16, 2008 4:00 am. ]
In direct competition with long running Audio based breaks night Supercharged, the Ocean Rooms offers up the Plump DJs. It’s gonna be a tough one tonight for all the breaks fans out there. Devotion to Supercharged or bass heavy craziness with the Plumps?
