SILICON SEA

Thanks to our nightlife and tourism Brighton is very much a service industries city. But there’s also another incredibly strong business, the technology sector. From SEO to mobile gaming we’re becoming an internationally recognised digital hub, Mashable even calling Brighton “London’s Silicon Valley”. It’s something that suits the inventive, self-reliant and intelligent people that populate Brighton. It’s well worth a pat on the back for a city that is known for having a wages to rent gap as wide as the Grand Canyon, so it’s great to see Brighton Digital Festival back to celebrate it. Events were still rolling in as we went to press but were edging towards 150, including our own SOURCE New Music night (see In Conversation With metaLuna). Other than that there are conferences and club nights, along with some weird and wonderful stuff like knitting robots. Outside of the Fringe and Festival in May it’s probably the most important thing to happen in Brighton, so hopefully you’ll get off Facebook for a while to give it some time. After all, the digital world has taken over our lives. Just ask Edward Snowden.

WORDS BY STUART HUGGETT

POP UP RIZZLES

Rizzle Kicks launch their new album ‘Roaring 20s’ by playing a week of secret shows across the country, finishing at a mystery location in Brighton on Sat 7th. The Roaring 20s Imaginarium show sees Jordan and Harley signing merch before playing a gig for just 150 fans, so keep an eye on rizzlekicks.com to find out where. The album, featuring current Jeremy Kylebashing single ‘Lost Generation’, is out on Mon 2nd and the boys also headline Stanmer Park’s Shakedown Festival on Sat 28th.

TAPE DAY

Resident and Cult Hero join record shops around the world for the first international Cassette Store Day on Sat 7th. This retro cousin of Record Store Day takes the same approach as its wildly successful forebear, with musicians and labels issuing special cassette releases only available in independent stores on that date. A new compilation from Faux Discx, a tape version of Fear Of Men’s ‘Early Fragments’ and a couple of FatCat releases comprise Brighton’s contributions so far.

PELIROCCO TRACKS

Pelirocco Platters, the in-house record label of Regency Square rock’n’roll hostelry Hotel Pelirocco, is putting together its second compilation album, a decade after the first volume introduced Scissor Sisters to British ears. The new double-disc album includes a full CD of Brighton bands, as heard on their RadioReverb show. In the meantime, Pelirocco Platters presents seven-piece soul-funk favourites Stone Foundation at the Green Door Store on Fri 13th.

RIZZLE KICKS

FRESH JUICE

The Haunt and Juice 107.2 have teamed up for IntroJuice-ing, a short run of showcase gigs of new Brighton talent. Electro-ambient post-rock group Them The Sky launch their new EP at the Sat 7th show, supported by Garden Heart and Paperhawk, with the Fri 13th edition headlined by the wintry psychedelia of Digo, supported by Kanzi and Dead Deer. Juice’s Tony Marks covers the gigs with live sessions on his The Mixtape show, and the best bands from the past few weeks return for a final gig on Fri 20th.

OXJAM SPREAD

This year’s Oxjam Brighton Takeover takes place next month, with dozens of musicians helping to raise money for charity. Oxfam launched the nationwide series of gigs back in 2006, and since then volunteers have helped put on hundreds of shows to help tackle global poverty. Oxjam comes to Brighton on Sat 26th October, to get involved, visit oxfam.org.uk/oxjam

TENTS MOMENT

Brighton Music Hall introduces its Tremendous Tipi next month, an indulgent pop up pavilion to entertain visitors on the beach across the winter months. The sprawling canvas marquee rises to 8m in height and comes with open fires to keep the warmth in. Banquets and balls will be hosted by newly manifested incarnations of the Prince Regent and his notorious paramour Mistress Fitzherbert, apparently.

COMEDY CROWN

Comedian Seann Walsh is the latest graduate of Jill Edwards’ renowned Brighton based Comedy Workshops to be nominated for the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Awards (currently sponsored by Foster’s lager, but still commonly known as the Perriers). Walsh’s ‘The Lie-in King’ was nominated for Best Comedy Show, while fellow course graduate Romesh Ranganathan’s ‘Rom Com’ was up for Best Newcomer.

LEVEL SKATEPARK

WELCOME TO DADROCK

Stalwart Old Steine hangout the Marlborough pub and theatre is under new management, with a reinvigorated décor featuring the work of local artists and a new, simple and delicious food menu. The official launch party is on Sat 28th, with live music from laid back hip hop crew Normanton Street, poet and rapper Mike Dennis and DJ Kool Hertz. Special surprises and plenty of cake are promised.

The £2.2m redevelopment of The Level is almost complete, with the children’s playground and fountain area already proving to be hugely popular. The 1400 square metre concrete skatepark (designed to be used by bikes and scooters too) was descibed by the skaters on the SOURCE team as “the best park in the country”. The remaining areas of The Level should be finished and open by the middle of the month, with a grand community celebration planned for Sat 28th.

MEATLIQUOR

Morrissey once said “We get violently upset when animals eat human beings, so why shouldn’t we feel horror when human beings eat animals?” Why indeed! Well Mozza, the answer lies in MEATliquor – guilty meat indulgence in its purest form. Grimy, industrial, loud and brash, the London venture is opening its Brighton branch in York Place late this month. Expect dead hippie burgers, groggy ale, bingo wings, and rabbit food for the vegetarians. Join the queue and be part of the meat revolution sweeping the city.

Brighton promoters Overhead Wires add another new night to their portfolio of grass-roots gigs with the launch of Electrobash on Weds 18th. Diversifying from the label’s usual songwriteroriented fare, Electrobash deals with “synths, samples and springin’”, with the launch night headlined by electronic altjazz quartet Calico. Award-winning Scottish producer Plum (formerly of the now defunct Benbecula Records) and Mancunian electro-punk duo Phantomz are in support.

Remember when your parents used to pick you up from a party, open the car door and Phil Collins would come blaring out of the stereo and you’d die of shame? Cast that trauma aside and get down to The Hope every third Saturday of the month for Welcome To Dadrock, spinning classic guitar sounds from Genesis to Zeppelin, ELO to Toto. The crew play dad-approved pub rock, punk and new wave every third Friday too. Scream if you want some MOR.

WAH KIKI

The renovation of the Honey Club on Kings Road Arches is complete, with the opening of tiki bar Wah Kiki, next to Shooshh. Wah Kiki aims to bring the Hawaiian experience to the seafront with a barful of cocktails, rum and other tropical drinks. Brighton beach doesn’t always resemble the gleaming sands of Honolulu but with 50% off drinks from 5pm – 9pm, Mon – Fri, it’s not hard to get your imagination working as the sun goes down.

Something rather exciting has happened to punk bands in the last year – they’ve found the groove. Songs are getting longer and bassists and drummers are locking in while guitarists go nuts on top. When Parquet Courts played Audio last winter the barriers were torn down, quite literally as singer Andrew Savage kicked over the crowd barricade during an 11-minute version of their Can-meets-Pavement masterpiece ‘Stoned And Starving’. Closer to home Traams have been slaying audiences since we first saw them dominate the Best Of Brighton-fest that is Sea Monsters. What makes the band so special is that they take a garagey style of punk and inject it with both pop and krautrock. At its best it’s incredibly powerful, as on their debut album’s closing track, ‘Klaus’. Kicking off with a riff like Weezer’s ‘Hash Pipe’, disorientating vocals give way to Stu’s jabbing guitars and a rhythm section that’s happy to sit on the same throbbing groove for seven minutes and make you never want it to stop.

Sometimes it’s more than just a minute. ‘Head Roll’ goes from a two-minute bubblegum pop song into a four and a halfminute improvised bassline. Four and a half minutes. And you know what, you’re never hoping the New Order-ish bass solo would, you know, hurry it along a bit. “Sometimes it feels a bit selfish in a way,” smiles Leigh. “We enjoyed that bit so we decided to play it for longer. It wasn’t even my idea. You’ve just got to learn to be subtle with it. Changing where you play it slightly, or adding a hi-hat that people don’t really notice.” “These two are really good at doing the rhythm thing,” says Stu of his bassist and drummer. “I’m really crap at noticing when drums change. These two can nerd it out. ‘Oh, you did the extra kick on that bit!’” “That’s why we always wanted to be a rhythm section,” explains Leigh. “We had that mutual understanding of what we both wanted from being in the background.” Hardly in the background, Adam and Leigh are what audiences are feeling through the speakers when they’re packed into venues like Sticky Mike’s or The Albert. But it frees Stu up to

The trio plug in and play live, from which Leigh and Adam’s tracks are taken, normally from the first few takes. After that Stu simply adds his guitars and vocals on top – it’s a world apart from bands that piece things together in Pro Tools. “Because they were written like that we wanted to be able to record it like that,” says Leigh. “With ‘Klaus’ I just added a guitar,” Stu recalls, “but because we did it at Palette [with producer du jour Rory Attwell] all playing together, we couldn’t separate the instruments. It’s a live recording, with added vocals. A few of them on the original session are like that.” “Never say never, but I’m pretty sure that’s the way we’re going to keep it,” says Leigh. “For me that’s the most fun.” “It’s the most natural,” says Adam. “After this interview I know exactly what we’re going to do – get in a room and play at each other for a few hours. It’s really cool to do that in a studio, because that’s what we do. We’ve been doing it for two years, so it comes across better.”

“AFTER THIS INTERVIEW I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO – GET IN A ROOM AND PLAY AT EACH OTHER FOR A FEW HOURS.”

Onstage it’s a powerhouse of a tune, allowing Stu to punch melodies out of his guitar while the crowd stay entranced by Leigh’s rolling bassline and Adam’s Neu!-like drums. If there’s a better live track played in Brighton this year we’ve yet to hear it. “I think we always wanted our sound to feel like it was constantly moving,” explains Stu. “It was always about pushing it forwards.” “I remember in the early days Stu saying he wanted to make it really pulsey, like dance music,” Adam says. “Fuck Buttons do it really well,” reckons Stu. “Techno does it well – James Holden, Richie Hawtin. To do that with guitar music, to have that release, is fun. You can do it in a club with a dance record, so it’s good to try and do it live.” “It’s not always intentional,” continues Adam. “When we’re, for want of a better word, jamming, and something happens it’s like, ‘Let’s keep doing that for a minute.’”

be looser with his squealing guitars and vocal screeches. It’s easy to see how that connection works live, but how have they transferred it so successfully to their debut LP on Brighton’s FatCat, ‘Grin’? By doing exactly what they do on stage in the studio, apparently.

ONLINE AT WWW.BRIGHTONSOURCE.CO.UK

It seems to be working for them as not only did Traams release a five track EP, ‘Ladders’, before their 11 track album, they’ve already got another album written and ready to record as soon as FatCat lets them. “We try not to get sentimental about songs,” says Adam. “As soon as you get sentimental about a song you’ve written then you’ll want to update it.” “It’s better to capture that time period and move on,” confirms Leigh. “You can just write another song.” “Don’t get worried because it’s a good chorus and you don’t want to waste it,” continues Stu. “As soon as you sit on something for too long you get bored and write something else. Playing new stuff is always loads of fun, and recording it as well. Get it out, get it done, move on to the next one.” Before they move onto those next songs they’re playing a gig at an unlikely venue. Sure, Resident have plenty of in-stores but Traams are a pretty intense band and they’re promising the full onslaught. “To be honest I’m so stoked about playing Resident,” smiles Stu. “It’s such a good record shop. Obviously being such music nerds we love it there. We’re not doing it toned down – we’re being noisy. Really noisy.” We’d expect nothing less from the uncompromising Traams.

DAUGHN GIBSON

Haunt Sun 1st

Formerly of Pennsylvania stoners Pearls And Brass, drummer turned singer-songwriter Daughn Gibson has a distinct baritone voice slightly reminiscent of Stuart Staples from Tindersticks or a playful Nick Cave. Musically he’s backed by a variety of electronic sounds and more traditional southern rock that combines to make him sound like a 21st century gothic preacher man. Prepare to be bewitched tonight as he puts you under his spell with tracks such as ‘All Hell’ and ‘You Don’t Fade’. (SE)

BLACK YAYA

Hope Sun 1st

Attention Herman Dune fans, we have another, rather unlikely, offshoot band on our hands. Black Yaya are a new project for Dune leader David-Ivan, marrying his distinctive voice and wry songwriting to uplifting electronic pop from French producer Yuksek (who’s releasing Black Yaya’s upcoming album on his own Partyfine label). Just lend an ear to the soulful disco of the duo’s current single ‘Paint A Smile On Me’ if your day needs brightening. (SH)

CHROME SPARKS Green Door Store Tues 3rd

Jeremy Malvin had been playing with synthesizers before studying classical percussion at university, an education which heavily influences his music as Chrome Sparks. Malvin gained recognition for his sound in 2011 when he released ‘My <3’, his unique electronic style hosting elements of both hip hop and chillwave. With the recent release of second EP ‘Sparks’, Brooklyn-based Malvin brings a three-piece version of Chrome Sparks to the Green Door Store for this exciting, rare performance. (KL)

SKATERS

Green Door Store Weds 4th

Not to be confused with the James Ferraro/Spencer Clark duo, Skaters were born in all their chaotic glory when the singer and drummer from LA’s The Dead Trees got together with the guitarist from Hull grot-rockers The Paddingtons. The pop-punk trio now call New York their home and have thrown their styles together to create instantly catchy riffs and punky vocals which audiences on both sides of the Atlantic love. And before you ask, no, none of them can actually skate. (AG)

JOHN PARISH

Green Door Store Fri 6th

Musician and producer John Parish is most widely known for his longstanding collaboration with PJ Harvey, stretching right back to their old band Automatic Dlamini and including two full collaborative albums, ‘Dance Hall At Louse Point’ and ‘A Woman A Man Walked By’. Aside from production, he’s also maintained an occasional solo career in music and film, with his new Thrill Jockey album ‘Screenplay’ collecting highlights from several European cinema soundtracks. Parish and his band perform a selection of these this evening with projected visual accompaniment. (SH)

SOURCE NEW MUSIC Dome Studio Sat 7th

The first of two SOURCE New Music shows this month is headlined by Interlocutor, the new big band project of Electric Soft Parade’s Alex White. Drawing on members from ESP, Clowns, The Gin Club and more, the 11-piece group embellish White’s mournful songs with smooth brass and strings, conjuring up the country soul sound of 70s AM radio. They’re joined by Red River Dialect, Octopuses and Herb Denton’s Last Dime. SOURCE New Music returns on Fri 20th for Brighton Digital Festival. (SH)

FUCK BUTTONS

BLITZ KIDS

Audio Sat 14th

Hotly tipped rockers Blitz Kids’ latest tour visits the places the Cheshire band have previously neglected. Their Brighton appearance is made even more worth the wait with the promise to play songs picked by attendees via Facebook so the set will certainly contain fan favourites from their early Hassle releases next to tracks from forthcoming album ‘The Good Youth’. Having nicked their name from the new romantics, it’s only fair that original Blitz Club legends Visage are in town a week later. (AJM)

FUCK BUTTONS

Concorde 2 Mon 16th

Fuck Buttons are riding a wave of acclaim at the moment, and rightly so. Third album ‘Slow Focus’ is easily the Bristol duo’s most forward thinking yet, but also their darkest. Live, Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power tease all manner of terrifying noise from their two laptops, often with an enormous disco ball placed between them, mesmerising and entrancing audiences. With support from the excellent, doomy Haxan Cloak, it’s sure to be seismic. (JKY)

SHANNON AND THE CLAMS Hope Mon 16th

You could be forgiven for thinking that this three-piece are Baltimore-bred, given that they wouldn’t look or sound out of place on a John Waters’ high school prom bandstand. Actually they hail from sunny California and have come to town in support of their third album of super-catchy, uber-kitschy garage/surf sounds. Their influences range from Joe Meek through The Muppets to Georgio Moroder, and Shannon Shaw’s big voice has been compared to Etta James, so this could be something special. (SC)

ETHAN JOHNS

SOURCE TICKETS

Komedia Tues 17th

Ethan Johns has made a big name for himself as a producer over the past 15 years, working regularly with Ryan Adams, Laura Marling and Kings Of Leon (on their first two, and best, albums). Deciding to go it alone, Johns is taking recent release ‘If Not Now Then When?’ on the road. Mixing a blend of country and Americana as well as a more delicate folk sound on the lovely ‘Whip Poor Will’ this should prove to be a very intimate show. (SE)

NO CEREMONY/// Hope Tues 17th

No Ceremony/// continue the proud tradition of electronic music from Manchester that started with New Order all those years ago. They share a similar DNA with The xx but with perhaps less of the gloom and a focus more on the beats. Songs such as ‘Feel So Low’ and ‘Hurtlove’ sound as though they were made for the dancefloor so don’t expect to be standing still whilst No Ceremony/// are playing. (SE)

TIM HECKER

St Mary’s Church Weds 18th

SOURCE TICKETS

Canada’s Tim Hecker doesn’t so much put on gigs as skin the venues he plays alive from within. Volume is one of his major tools, and disorientation soon comes over anyone unprepared for his staggering sonic layers and builds. But there’s also a subtlety indebted as much to jazz and folk guitarists as it is to My Bloody Valentine, which a venue as stunning as Kemp Town’s St Mary’s Church should really bring to the fore.

Haunt Sat 21st

If certified electro/synth anthems that still sound incredible 30 years on are what you’re after then don that billowy shirt and glide down to The Haunt for Steve Strange’s reunited Visage. ‘Fade To Grey’ is the definitive new romantic classic and the first of a string of hits for this seminal band, whose comeback album ‘Hearts And Knives’ was released in May. If that wasn’t enough, legendary Blitz Club founder Strange will be guest DJ at Spellbound at the Komedia afterwards. (AT)

WIRE

Komedia Mon 23rd

The long and curious on/off career of Watford art school pranksters Wire was celebrated last year in a run of London gigs that culminated in a thundering, 30-odd guitarist rendition of their ’78 album-closing classic ‘Pink Flag’. Tonight’s Brighton return finds Wire stripped back to a quartet but still fearsome, slipping back and forth through their history as they visit this year’s ‘Change Becomes Us’, a glowing, metallic set that completes song sketches created in their initial post-punk energy burst.

COLLEGE

Haunt Weds 25th

If you missed College’s sold out show at the Duke Of York’s last year – a neat tie-in that accompanied a screening of hyper-stylish Ryan Gosling odyssey Drive – then don’t miss this return visit. College’s sublime Drive theme ‘A Real Human’ is the sugar coating on a deep catalogue of hypnotic retro melodies whipped up by French composer David Grellier. His latest College album ‘Heritage’ came out in the spring, an immersive experience with or without the cinematic back-up. (SH)

SWIM DEEP

Concorde 2 Weds 25th

Birmingham’s Swim Deep play an anthemic brand of indie that manages to inject a bit of fun into shoegaze and American alternative rock whilst staying on the right side of baggy. Songs such as ‘King City’ and ’Honey’ would perfectly soundtrack a teen flick from the late 80s or early 90s. Their live sound is more substantial than on record, as we heard at The Great Escape in May, with their more prevalent basslines revealing a clear Pixies influence. (SE)

BARRENCE WHITFIELD & THE SAVAGES Haunt Fri 27th

Soul screamer Barrence Whitfield makes a rare visit to the UK this month for just three shows (plus an appearance on Later With Jools Holland) and, thanks to Stay Sick and Punker Bunker, the Haunt have bagged his only date outside London. Breaking out of Boston with his band The Savages in the 80s, Whitfield’s full throttle vocals and borderline unhinged performances brought acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, and tours with legends from Bo Diddley to Tina Turner. (SH)

DEADBEAT DESCENDANT Prince Albert Sat 28th

This London/Brighton combo’s regular nights have been running at the Albert for 10 years, always presenting an interesting bill of like-minded, local and touring talent. As ever, Deadbeat Descendant play a set of their observational, arthouse post-punk dancers, this time sandwiched between Johnny Cola & The A Grades’ new wave psychedelia and ex-Supergrass bassist Mick Quinn’s back-to-basics garage rockers The DB Band. As the poster says, “A night of intense enjoyment awaits you.” (SC)

Pop-punk has always been firmly American but that hasn’t stopped a myriad of British bands from adopting their best US accents. Now it seems that Australian acts have been affected by the epidemic too, evinced by this evening’s visit from Tonight Alive. Joining the Sydney quintet are Florida’s Set It Off and the UK’s very own rising stars Decade. If you like your rock music peppy, then this is a great line-up, regardless of where you, or the artists, come from. (AJM)

THE LOVELY EGGS

CLUB PREVIEWS

WORDS BY STUART HUGGETT, JAMES KENDALL, JESSICA MARSHALL MCHATTIE

BOOGIE WONDERLAND Green Door Store Thurs 5th

Continuing the English Disco Lovers’ noble mission to defeat the knuckleheads of the far right with the unifying power of dance music, the posse’s Sam Moffett and Ed Lovers return as Boogie Wonderland’s guests tonight. Joining forces with Luther from Teen Creeps for a set of sweet soul, Philly and Hi-NRG sounds, they’ll also be rattling the tins for local charities throughout the evening. Entry is free, so there’s no excuse not to dig deep. (SH)

SWEATSHOP

Haunt Fri 6th

Yeah yeah Stone Roses, blah blah Blur, there’s only been one truly magical 90s reunion recently, and that was Will Smith pulling Jazzy Jeff and Carlton Banks (actor Alfonso Ribeiro) from the wings of the Graham Norton Show to perform the Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air theme. Sweatshop brings back all those golden age hip hop and new jack swing sounds in one delerious celebration of the era of backwards caps, huge trainers and baggy pants. Push it real good. (SH)

CHRIS NATURAL

Volks Fri 6th

The crew behind Jungle Alliance add a new branch to their collection tonight with the launch of their new offshoot label, the pretty self-explanatory Jungle Alliance International. Headlining is Brighton veteran Chris Natural who’ll be entertaining with a special tear-out ragga influenced set, and the party will be kept in full swing all night by DJ Rumble, MC Range, S.T. and Lofty. This lot are more dedicated to the jungle than Baloo. (JMM)

DJ SNEAK

PBR STREETGANG

Coalition Sat 7th

Bonar Bradberry and Tom Thorpe have been around for about seven years now, but it’s in the last couple that their fun-time house has been popping up on the best labels, like Future Boogie and Hot Creations. Their quirky acid and latin percussion-based ‘N-H-M’ for the former was one of our favourite house records of last year, and they’re back on that uber-cool label with ‘C With No Name’, a euphoric anthem. They’re clearly gonna come loaded with great tunes, switching, apparently, between Ableton and vinyl. (JK)

AUDIO’S 9TH BIRTHDAY PARTY Audio Fri 13th

DJ Sneak pretty much invented Daft Punk, Armand Van Helden and Basement Jaxx. So he’s the man, and then some. His cut up disco loops became the blueprint not just for jacking early 90s house but for the later filter disco sounds that saw house music go mainstream. By the sounds of his recent podcasts he’s ploughing much the same furrow, and why not? He’s innovated enough, and those grooves are exactly what we want to get lost in. Big man, big booking. (JK)

RANDOM MOVEMENT Haunt Fri 13th

Does drum’n’bass have a soul? Maybe not, but it can certainly be soulful, as anyone familiar with Florida’s Random Movement will be aware. He’s a bigger fish across the pond, but with an increasing and diverse fan base in the UK too, attracted to his delectably deep sets. The Jazznote favourites are in full support, including host Influx, Brighton’s up and coming drum’n’bass producer Shiver, and Badger, who’ll be playing a set of 80s funk and disco classics. (JMM)

SETH TROXLER

MAYA JANE COLES Concorde 2 Fri 13th

DR BASTARDO

Volks Fri 20th

God knows why DJing is such a boys club. When women do break through they tend to be absolutely great. Maya Jane Coles is one of the best female DJs of the last decade, making her, of course, one of the best DJs of the last decade full stop. That she can sing and produce to the same level is a bonus. ‘Nowhere’ is a masterclass in understatement (both in production terms and vocally), real deep house in a genre that’s expanded way beyond its moniker. Great to see her step up a level to the Concorde. (JK)

There’s a fine tradition of masked musicians, from Daft Punk to MF Doom, and following aggressively in their footsteps is Dr Bastardo, who sports a Mexican wrestling mask whilst churning out the kind of jungle and breakcore that makes you want to get straight to the nearest field and rave. Brighton Loves Jungle’s founder defines their musical policy as “fucked up and interesting” and he’s not wrong with this line up, which includes Hitori Tori, Bosslady and Pastaman. (JMM)

SETH TROXLER

PAUL WOOLFORD

Coalition Sat 14th

One quarter of Visionquest, Seth describes his genre as ‘sexiness’. Well, his songs might not end up on your make-out tape but there is something sensual about this mix of prog and tech house. We reckon you could probably make some sweet love to Visionquest’s excellent Fabric Live CD. Anyway, Sex Trothler is rightly one of the biggest names in house right now, managing to clock up a top three position in Resident Advisor’s Top 100 DJ Poll, in part from his famed DC10 residency. (JK)

SWEATSON KLANK Green Door Store Mon 16th

The Los Angeleno previously known as Take is a forward-thinking force. For a decade Sweatson Klank’s been on a voyage through experimental jazz, hip hop fusion, modern bounding beats and everything between reggae and disco, and now he’s landing at the Green Door Store. Latest album ‘You, Me, Temporary’ came out on Project Mooncircle in March and it’s a slinky, smooth little number that cruises through tracks like a Cadillac on greased wheels. Support is from S∆M and J Devious, and it’s all for free. (JMM)

PAGE 20

Audio Sat 21st

We always knew Wooly was destined for success, even when he used to phone us at 7am on a Tuesday morning for a chat, still partying after his Saturday residency at the legendary Back To Basics. These days he’s very serious, probably the best Detroit producer outside of the city – a fact that attracted Carl Craig to invite him onto Planet E. He’s also releasing on Scuba’s Hotflush. If nothing else you’ll know his ‘Erotic Discourse’ techno classic, played by everyone – minimal to trance DJs – in 2006. (JK)

BONDAX

Concorde 2 Sat 21st

The name sounds like a Pokémon and their transformation’s worthy of one too: the Bondax duo have gone from teenage schoolchums in Leicester to Radio 1 darlings and headlining a huge UK tour in just over a year. Next single ‘Giving It All’ is out on the 22nd and it’s a glittering, chilled-out hit, blending garage and r’n’b influences into a airwave friendly track that’s perfectly of the moment. This is a live set, so an opportunity to see the artistry in action. Shadowchild and Bodhi are also on this promising line-up. (JMM)

PSY SUNDAYS

CLUB PREVIEWS

Volks Sun 22nd

Keeping the ravers on their toes all weekend, the Psy Sundays crew present another free, 12 hour session down the Volks, getting underway at the refreshing time of 2 o’clock in the afternoon. This month they’ve teamed up with Goa free party crew Shiva Valley with a headline set from veteran UK producer DJ Tristan (Flying Rhino, Twisted Records). Psy Sundays have been running nearly five years now – it’s a proper Sunday service. (SH)

DJ ZINC

Audio Fri 27th

DJ Zinc’s best known as a drum’n’bass producer but he’s been changing the game and switching genres for the past 20 years. His career has spanned early hardcore and breakstep and he’s now doing a nice line in house and grime collaborations. Zinc’s slowed down on the releases in recent years but with a back catalogue so strong, there’s nothing left to prove. You might think you only know ‘Super Sharp Shooter’ but you’d be wrong. (JMM)

SHAKEDOWN FESTIVAL

Stanmer Park Sat 28th

Shakedown is settling down to be a pretty decent, if schizophrenic, little one-dayer. On one side is a quality selection of dance edged pop (Rizzle Kicks, Labrinth, Maverick Sabre) and on the other is serious raving gear (Sub Focus, Annie Mac, MK). It’s a shame it doesn’t go on through the night, but it does mean you get to roll into one of the many after parties at Audio and the Concorde suitably, er, ready to go. (JK)

PRINCE FATTY

Blind Tiger Sat 28th

Prince Fatty’s Rub A Dub Club aims to bring the best of classic reggae into the present day, with original remixes, rediscovered dubplates and a bouncing, energetic cast on stage. MC Horseman joins Prince Fatty himself to bring the beats and rhythms. One of the biggest stars of the show is the magnetic Hollie Cook, who’s about as cool as you’d expect the reggae-obsessed daughter of a Sex Pistol and goddaughter of Boy George to be. (JMM)

COCO LOCO

TOP 10

WORDS AND PHOTOS BY JAMES KENDALL

A thousand people through the door every week, famous around the world? How come you’ve never heard of CoCo LoCo? Maybe because it’s a foreign student night, but if you’re looking for a lot of midweek fun then it’s well worth getting your pasty-skinned self down there. Make sure you get the next day off work, though, as everyone outside of Britain likes to party til dawn, so CoCo LoCo stays open until 5am. Right from the off, this lively crowd are up for it, throwing the sorts of shapes that us Brits are too reserved to try, to a mix of international pop and more familiar dance tracks. Maybe it’s because everyone here is, essentially, on holiday, there’s a devil may care feeling – lots of smiles, loads of tomfoolery. Also there’s plenty of interesting people to meet – go and do your best for international relations.

CULTURE

WORDS BY STEVE CLEMENTS, STUART HUGGETT, JAMES KENDALL, BEN MILLER

EXHIBITION: TIMO ARNALL Lighthouse from Thurs 5th

Timo Arnall visualises our usually-invisible technological infrastructures, doing so in the kind of way that makes you want to grab a lightsaber and say something rude to your father, as opposed to, say, unsellotaping the tangled web of wires decorating your house. This should be most explicit in Immaterials: WiFi Light Painting, which sounds like the sort of fare luddites gawp sadly at in Lighthouse, dealt a further blow to underline the passing of simplicity in a world hot-wired to alien futurism. (BM)

EXHIBITION: MUTATOR 1 + 2: EVOLUTIONARY ART Phoenix from Sat 7th

Perhaps it’s just the battle-hardened 80s kids pedalling the analogue mechanisms of the SOURCE culture department, bereft of parental riches or enough mates to ever have looked beyond Ataris and PCs with hard-drives destined to form toasters, but the art of William Latham comes saturated by nostalgia. Rotating and rolling, naïve and yet precise and clinically brilliant, Latham’s mutations originate from forms and binds resembling imagined complex dreams. His computer-generated prints and early drawings elucidate the methodologies of a beautifier of binary. (BM)

FILM: DON’T LOOK NOW / SIDE BY SIDE

Duke Of York’s Sun 8th / Duke’s At Komedia Tues 10th

Yes, Charlie Brooker’s talking about Black Mirror for Brighton Digi Fest, but if you’ve got a ticket you’ll already know that conversely, if this is the first you’ve heard of that sold out show you may be seething. Instead, try Side By Side, in which, curiously, Keanu Reeves interviews Martin Scorsese, James Cameron and more on the joys of digital. Beyond the fest, Don’t Look Now - Nicolas Roeg’s deathly horror premonition - will be explained by the director in a discussion with Ben Wheatley. (BM)

ANDREW LAWRENCE

FESTIVAL: BRIGHTON JAPAN 2013 Old Steine Gardens Fri 13th - Sun 22nd

Few fail to find themselves seduced by Japanese culture, although the pace at which this festival has grown - having started out as a one-dayer in Bartholomew Square five years ago - illustrates its popularity in a city where sushi bars are as rad to dudes and dudettes as Facebook and chai lattes. The opening and closing weekends feature rock’n’roll, dance, drumming, body painting and fashion shows, while individual events range from horror screenings to whisky tasting. (BM)

FESTIVAL: CITY READS Various venues Fri 13th - Sun 29th

‘Guards! Guards!’, the 1989 instalment of Discworldliness from bearded sorcerer overlord genius Terry Pratchett, is the chosen page-turner for this year’s city-wide book group, with an appearance from the Ankh-Morpork creator himself at the Dome (Sun 29th). Other hoo-hahs include tales under the watch of a massive dragon (Jubilee Library, Sat 14th), a screening of Terry Gilliam’s Baron Munchausen (Duke’s At Komedia, Sun 22nd) and therapy from a Book Doctor as part of a Vintage Fair (The Old Market, Sat 21st). (BM)

COMEDY: ANDREW LAWRENCE

Komedia Weds 18th

It’s not totally clear whether Andrew Lawrence is professionally odd or actually odd – certainly he plays up to it, making his name with self-mocking routines about his outsider status. Luckily he’s funny ha ha as well as funny peculiar, and he’s loosened right up on stage lately. No longer able to deny he’s one of the stars of the circuit, he now looks more at how everyone’s life is awful, not just his own. If your glass is half empty you’ll lap it up – you may even laugh.

OH MY IRMA

COMEDY: STEWART LEE

COMEDY: ROB NEWMAN

The last time Stewart Lee played in Brighton he had a comedy battle with Mark Watson. Both on a charity bill, a drunk and joke-free Watson, bringing a deflated balloon to a knife fight, ended up begging for more laughs than his nemesis. Stew, who’d thankfully left by then, was on reliably razor sharp form, as ever. We’re interested to see if he’s still ploughing his deconstruction of comedy thing or if Canadian alter-ego Baconface is his new direction. (JK)

Returning to the Komedia with his first full show in seven years, Rob Newman picks up where Darwin left off (but with more jokes) with his New Theory Of Evolution. Since turning his back on the Wembley headlining, rock’n’roll excesses of the 90s comedy boom, Newman’s taken the path of Marks Thomas and Steele, proving himself as an intelligent chronicler of politics and science. His thesis this evening is that natural co-operation drives evolution rather than ‘survival of the fittest’ competition. One for all you smart monkeys. (SH)

Dome Thurs 19th – Fri 20th

COMEDY: STAND UP FOR LABOUR Dome Sun 22nd

The formidable line-up of Eddie Izzard, Jo Brand, John Bishop, Stephen K Amos and Lloyd Langford might spell good news for the Labour Party, to whom the proceeds of this gig are going. The joke, unfortunately, is on all of us, given that they’re almost certain to fritter the beans away on campaigns lacking the relatively simple elements of common sense and human charisma required to oust our rotten government. An unwitting tragi-comedy bearing all the wit the opposition lacks. (BM)

CABARET: TERRY GAROGHAN Komedia Sun 22nd

After a 17-year run, comedy institution Terry Garoghan finally retired his famous Brighton The Musical with a sell-out performance at the Dome last year. You can’t keep a restless musical satirist down though, and Garoghan’s already bounced back with his Satan-on-the-shoulder show The Devil Keeps Tugging. Garoghan presents his new album ‘The Aunty Flo Slide Show’ at this lunchtime cabaret for grown ups, accompanied by cellist Angie Wilson. (SH)

Komedia Tues 24th

THEATRE: CALL MR ROBESON Dome Studio Tues 24th

This one-man show, written and performed by Tayo Aluko, traces the life of gospel singer, actor and radical pre-Dr King civil rights campaigner, Paul Robeson. Best known for his definitive ‘Ol’ Man River’ and soul-stirring spirituals, Robeson was fêted by the world’s socialists, from Welsh miners to jailed Russian poets, but his outspoken attacks on the US government and its apathy towards racism made him an exile in his own country. A fascinating subject, long overdue for re-evaluation. (SC)

THEATRE: OH MY IRMA

Upstairs At Three And Ten Thurs 26th / Sat 28th

Haley McGee, a Canadian performer with pitch-black tinted glasses and an eye for social awkwardness capable of making anyone yearn for an evening in the company of a gaggle of virginal Belle And Sebastian fans, began this piece as a twominute poem. Its heroine, Mission Bird, is a fully-realised character these days, adding a crime she didn’t commit to her well-established through-the-fingers human interactions. McGee’s own indomitable wordplay serves to smooth things out without detracting from the beautifully uncomfortable. (BM)

GRAHAM MILLER One Eyed Jacks, 28 York Place WORDS BY JAMES KENDALL

Four exhibitions in, and One Eyed Jacks – found in the regenerating former no man’s land of York Place – is proving itself to be a gem of a photographic gallery. The work they show is easy to get your head round, concentrating on beautiful images with a narrative core, always inviting you to add your own stories. Perfectly following photos from Bryan Schutmaat’s Blue Collar, Red Dust and Jacks’ curator Matt Henry’s own work comes a great exhibition from a new name to us, Graham Miller. Miller’s rich, cinematic photos look American – perhaps because they mine the history of colour photography – but actually take place in his Australian homeland. Almost too perfect to be candid, they bring to mind Philip-Lorca diCorcia’s Hustlers series. Every bit as polished, but less neon, it’s more small town than big city, with nods in that direction towards Alex Soth’s Sleeping By The Mississippi. That Miller has shown alongside both of these titans of photography is testament to the quality of the work.

LOCALLY SOURCED

WORDS BY DANI COLYER, STUART HUGGETT, JAMES KENDALL

ALBUM: FLASH BANG BAND ‘Bite Your Tongue’ (At The Helm)

Psych-pop urchins Flash Bang Band gift new Brighton label At The Helm with their first full album and it’s a beauty. Immediate tunes like ‘Art History’ and ‘Young Rogue’ are wriggling nuggets of scrunched up energy that run restlessly off in all directions at once, while the fuzzy yearning of ‘Dreams That Never Fade Away’ stretches towards the anthemic. The trio surely worship at the altar of ‘In It For The Money’ era Supergrass, but that’s never a bad thing. (SH)

ALBUM: GIDEON WOLF ‘I Am Wolf’ (Chemical Tapes)

The second album from Gideon Wolf, an alias of composer Tristan Shorr, ‘I Am Wolf’ takes simple compositions for voice and piano but strips them down even further, processing the elements into abstract suspensions of echoed ambience and digital scree. Shorr’s vocals rarely resolve into coherence, simple two or three word phrases floating up through the mix. Imagine a Basic Channel rework of Eno’s stillpoint piano processes and you’ll be somewhere close to the results of this absorbing experiment. (SH)

SINGLE: LET THE MACHINES DO THE WORK ‘Let Me Be The One’ (Champion)

You may be one of the 60,000 people who have watched the video for this on YouTube already, so will know that it’s a belter. Soundtracking a trio of EDL members wandering into a English Disco Lovers street party rather than their own march, ‘Let Me Be The One’ is a throbbing slab of techno with a vocal that sounds like it could have come from lost 90s house classic. No wonder the EDL crew end up losing it on the dancefloor. Great video, great debut single. (JK)

SINGLE: PART PANDA ‘Way Back When’ (Potholes Music)

Part Panda have been making melodic beats together ever

PAGE 32

HARLEIGHBLU

since block-colour jeans made a comeback. ‘Way Back When’ and the beautifully nostalgic b-side ‘Let’s Build A Cinema’ see a departure from Vienna’s gently rapped vocals. Both tracks build layer on mesmerising layer of soulful vocals, sweet synths and super-rhythmic beats. Check out the track’s hypnotic video to see a 12-year-old out-dance everyone at the disco. (DC)

ALBUM: ‘SHAPES: CIRCLES’ (Tru Thoughts)

Rounding up highlights from the last year or so of Tru Thoughts releases, this double disc set underlines just how strong the label’s current roster is. Getting underway with Natural Self’s sumptuous cover of Electrelane’s ‘The Valleys’, CD1 hosts the more soul and jazz influenced sounds (Quantic, Alice Russell, Harleighblu) Tru Thoughts are famous for, broken up by some fierce electro, dancehall and UK hip hop from Hint, Wrongtom and Rodney P. CD2 ups the beats with excellent cuts from Maddslinky, Riz MC and Zed Bias. Budget price too. (SH)

EP: SUBLIME WIZARDRY ‘Best Of The Bunch’ (Show & Prove)

Fresh from supporting Public Enemy this summer, hip hop trio Sublime Wizardry have readied this joyous eight track 12”. Hamburg based DJ Merlin supplies old school breaks and addictive scratch trickery for Brighton MCs One Native Son and The Remarkable 1 to bounce off of. Tracks like ‘All Day Sucker’ and ‘Ironball Throwdown’ reviving the golden age party spirit, but the complex digital beats of ‘Survival Of The Hippest’ and the political lyrics of ‘When The Chaos Comes’ keep things modern and vital. (SH)

SINGLE: THE VINYLS ‘Victoria’ (thevinyls.net)

Not a stab at the mighty Kinks classic, The Vinyls’ ‘Victoria’ is certainly in the same anglopop vein, a snappy new wave treat with effortless, choppy chords and a stop-start Costello vocal. Last year’s slightly wacky album ‘Catch!’ was smart in many places, but this standalone single is a step on, the band easing up on the urge to impress with the gags and coming out with an effortless three-minute tune. Very neatly done. (SH)

DIGITAL FESTIVAL PLUG IN AND PLAY WORDS BY STUART HUGGETT AND JAMES KENDALL

The idea of digital covers so much of our lives these days it’s no wonder Brighton Digital Festival is so diverse. From art to accountancy via Ableton, you’ll need to check out brightondigitalfestival.co.uk for the full line up of over 140 events throughout September. Otherwise, luddites can pick up the rather good (if we say so ourselves) SOURCE-edited brochure. Here’s just a small selection of events we like the look of.

TINY GAMES

Around Brighton Sun 1st - Mon 30th

The media paints videogaming as a solitary pursuit conducted by teenage boys in bedrooms with the curtains drawn. Tiny Games takes things in the opposite direction with social play in the streets of Brighton. Hide & Seek have made a batch of easy to understand, fun titles that invite participation from passers by. Keep an eye out for them. (JK)

BRIGHTON MINI MAKER FAIRE Corn Exchange Sat 7th - Sun 8th

If you think that iPhones and the like have increasingly made technology a closed unit, your head will be blown right open by this, the biggest event of BDF. From Raspberry Pi to traditional craft – with those perceived opposites often joined – the idea is that you’ll be inspired by the makers showing off their projects. If nothing else you’ll see lots of robots, which is never a bad thing. This year sees the interactive exhibition and workshops joined by a conference and an After Dark event. (JK)

FEMINISM 3.0

Dome/Corn Exchange Sat 14th

When women suggesting that, you know, it might be a nice idea to have one female figure featured on our banknotes start getting bomb and rape threats you know that we really need feminism. With the huge surge in young women speaking up for themselves right now, this ought to be an interesting and lively debate about social media in activism. The Guardian’s Suzanne Moore – who has unfairly had it in the neck on Twitter recently – is joined by No More Page 3 campaigner Lucy-Anne Holmes and others. (JK)

SOURCE NEW MUSIC Dome Studio Fri 20th

The second SOURCE New Music this month promises deep electronics and spectacular imagery, curated by visual artists metaLuna (see In Conversation With). The headline slot finds the pair in collaboration with composer Matthew Hodson’s bitbin project, producing a hypnotic audio-visual experience on a specially designed three-dimensional set. Champion Fever and Alphabets Heaven bring their own lush electronic styles, along with instrumental post-rock trio Spacenoid, and Beatabet DJs in the downstairs bar. (SH)

BRING YOUR OWN BEAMER Dome Sat 21st

Even if you’re not interested in the short films and video installations on offer, this is still essential due to its location – the tunnels beneath the Dome. Once you’ve seen those curated offerings you can pop out into the Concert Hall and find a place to show your own project on the ‘beamer’ – a projector, DVD player, phone or anything that will play video – you’ve brought with you. (JK)

PIXELPYROS

Level Sat 28th

The idea of this piece of interactive art from Seb Lee-Delisle (which returns from kicking off last year’s festival) is that you get right up close to fireworks that you usually have to keep a distance from. No one’s losing an eye with a recklessly thrown banger tonight. In fact you can even let the fireworks off with your fingers. One of the many free events at BDF. (JK)

DESERT ISLAND PICS Jury’s Inn Sat 28th

Using Google Street View to collect photos of prostitutes working in Spain and Italy, Mishka Henner’s No Man Land was one of the most interesting exhibits at this year’s Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. Although he didn’t win, his use of other people’s imagery in his work makes him the perfect guest to choose the eight photos he’d take with him to the titular landmass. The “modern-day Duchamp” will explain his choices to Stephen Bull. (JK)

OVER THE MOON FESTIVAL MUSICAL SPACE CADETS WORDS BY STUART HUGGETT

HACKNEY COLLIERY BAND

Every September, as we approach the autumn equinox, Over The Moon festival comes to the Sussex countryside for an eco-minded celebration of music, science, art and healing. This year’s Brighton guests include AK/DK, The Physics House Band and Transformer, but as festival director Jim Mitchell tells us (see Unsung Hero), the workshops, talks and family activities are a key part of the weekend, so head to their website to see what else is on offer. Meanwhile, here are a few more musical picks.

ALMIGHTY PLANETS

Most unsigned groups count themselves lucky to score one viral hit, but hip hop big band Almighty Planets have already managed two this year alone. Having name-checked every decent Brighton pub (and then some) in their irresistible tourist guide track ‘Oh The Days’ they then revealed their unexpected soulful side with a downtempo, brassy cover of SBTRKT’s ‘Wildfire’. Live, the eight members are guaranteed to fire up the party.

CODA

London five-piece Coda are that rare thing, a live dubstep band. Fronted by MC and guitarist Stacey Edwards, the group recreate the flow of a DJ set through synths, samples and live drums, with trombonist Seb Goodwin-Day connecting the music back to its dub reggae roots. The band are festival circuit regulars, as suited to appearing alongside producers like Caspa and Roska as they are to fields of live music fans.

THE FREESTYLERS

Fifteen years on from their ‘We Rock Hard’ debut, breakbeat stars The Freestylers have just released album number five, ‘The Coming Storm’, and continue to draw crowds around the world. Ubiquitous 90s hits ‘B-Boy Stance’ and ‘Ruffneck’ were just the start of The Freestylers’ unbroken run of beat-focused,

PAGE 36

dub-heavy collaborations, with founder members Matt Cantor and Aston Harvey joined by an ever-changing guest cast of MCs, singers and DJs. They bring a rare full live band show to Over The Moon.

HACKNEY COLLIERY BAND

OK, you’re right, there aren’t actually any coalmines in east London. The nine-piece Hackney Colliery Band eschew the stirring, rather maudlin drift of their northern counterparts in favour of a funk-powered take on a broad spectrum of anthems by the likes of The Prodigy, Blackstreet and Goldie. They throw in a bunch of originals too. With just drums and brass, the Hackney Colliery Band have an entirely acoustic set up, but blast out the tunes with the power of an electrical storm.

KITTEN AND THE HIP

Hip swinging, jazz bopping Brighton pop duo Kitten And The Hip combine the talents of ball of energy singer Kitten and former Freakpower and Loose Tubes trombonist Ashley Slater. Hed Kandi picked them up for debut single ‘Don’t You Worry’ in 2011, and the colourful pair have been pumping out lively electro swing fun ever since. The live show adds a brass section for maximum dance energy.

PROFESSOR SKANK

From its Jamaican roots, dub music has long ago grown into a global phenomenon, proved here by the appearance of Greek producer Professor Skank. Flying in especially for Over The Moon, Skank has an international reputation, collaborating with UK legend Mad Professor and releasing music for Zion Train’s Deep Roots label and world music dub specialists Urban Sedated. Skank’s ‘Oxygene’ re-rub ‘Outer Space’ is a cosmic delight.

STREET STYLE WORDS BY JAMES KENDALL PHOTO BY LOMOKEV AT LOMOKEV.COM/STYLE

If you work in a great second hand clothes emporium like To Be Worn Again it would be madness to buy your clothes in Primark. But Ben – who you might know as the core of psychedelic instrumental band Restlesslist – doesn’t just cherry pick what comes through the shop for his 50s look. “The repro stuff is well made and they’re always one offs,” he explains. “It’ll be the same pattern but with different colours, different fixtures.” It’s a great, stylish, classic look that sidesteps the costume element that vintage outfits can have by being completely wearable, something proven by the fact that Ben is never seen out in anything more modern looking. It’s enough to make you long for the early series of Mad Men. Hair by Simon Webster “He’s a good guy. I use Black & Whites in it, naturally.” Sunglasses by Ray-Ban “They’re just classic sunglasses. I’ve got three pairs, all the same.” Shirt from To Be Worn Again “What do I like about the shirt? The quality value that you can get from shirts at To Be Worn Again! I always wear them with a vest. I get cold nipples.” Jacket by RVC “They’re an American company. It’s a one off, no one else will have it because it’s all handmade with 50s patterns in modern fabrics.” Trousers by Lindy Lou’s “They’re all handmade to spec. I always wear high-waisted trousers. These ones are quite heavyweight in a fleck material.” Watch and bracelet from Snooper’s Paradise “They’re always on.” Shoes by Loake “They’re good British shoes – sturdy, strong. Can’t go wrong with them. I bought them at Pullingers.”

UNSUNG HERO

100 PEOPLE WHO MAKE BRIGHTON WHAT IT IS NO.45 JIM MITCHELL WORDS BY STUART HUGGETT PHOTO BY JAMES KENDALL

Jim Mitchell runs Over The Moon festival, which returns to the Sussex countryside this month (Fri 13th – Sun 15th). He regularly lends his organisational expertise to events including Brighton Fashion Week and ecofestivals up and down the country. How did you get into running festivals? I was studying astrophysics at university and other members of my friendship group had interests in ancient things and astro-archaeology, the old pyramids. We’d be going to Stonehenge and Mexico, visiting ancient sites and seeing how they were aligned and then going to festivals with a touring rig and doing lectures on them. My particular angle was more scientific, talking about the history of astronomy. We called it the Antiquarian Society and there were a lot of hippie connotations so it got us into the festivals quite comfortably. So our initial idea was like a university in a field but if people come to a festival obviously they want more to do. How does Over The Moon differ from its predecessor, Out Of The Ordinary? I’d run Out Of The Ordinary with a friend but he moved to Australia and it was inappropriate really to keep the same name. Over The Moon launched last year, we’ve kept all the old elements but the music’s become stronger. We’ve improved our reach in terms of activities that the whole family can get involved in and we’ve kept the workshops that we used to do, stuff like blacksmithery, woodcarving, stonemasonary and bushcraft. It’s nice to not let that fall by the wayside. We’ve also got a great healing area cos some people just need to relax and kick their shoes off and find somewhere they can get fixed up. What are your future plans? It would be nice to take the Over The Moon name and do club nights in Brighton, and we’d like to do a second festival, start and finish the season with events in the spring and autumn. It would be quite a big jump but we’ve got contacts in other countries so maybe we could take it international and make a living as a kind of franchise. We’ve developed a strong brand that appeals to people so it’s a case of working out what the natural next step is. It’s still a little bit up in the air how we’ll proceed but we definitely want to expand.

SECRET EATER

PLANET INDIA

TUES-THURS 6PM-9.45PM, FRI-SAT 6PM-10PM, SUN-MON CLOSED RICHMOND PL (01273) 818149

THE PLACE

When we asked our Twitter followers – who all seem to be foodies – where they thought was doing great Indian food at the moment, more than half of them recommended Planet India. Having eaten there before we knew it was good but we were slightly taken aback by the enthusiasm. For a start it’s a cheap place – a plate of two curries and rice weighs in at about a tenner. But also it’s totally vegetarian, not that you’d really notice.

THE MEAL

You’ve got to start with the samosa chaat (£6.07), not least because it’s one of the oddest starters you’ll ever have – a mix

of yoghurt, Bombay mix-like Indian snacks, fresh salad, spices, coriander and crushed samosas. Spicy, sweet, fresh, crispy – it’s hard to make sense of but so good, trust us. From there we have six curries between the three of us, thanks to the innovative ‘half and half’ (£4.07 each potion) method. Running through them quickly, the black chickpea curry has the dry heat of the hottest summer’s day, while the vegetable curry is hearty and healthy like a good stew. The Masoor dall, perhaps the best of the bunch, is a very smooth but surprisingly hot lentil curry, creamy and delicious. The spinach and paneer curry has plenty of soft spinach mixed in with large cubes of deep fried haloumi-like cheese, which are a little overpowering. Back on the dhals and the takda variant is like a mild, but extremely salty, tasty lentil soup. Finally the sweetcorn and patra curry features a tomato sauce and big chunks of soft vine leaves. It’s zingy but not so hot as to break a sweat.

THE VERDICT

Although a little rough around the edges – the water comes in an old orange juice bottle, you eat with spoons – Planet India is a gem of a place. It’s the closest to the Indian food we loved when we spent time there – “authentic homemade Indian food by authentic homemade Indians” is how they describe it. Cheap, healthy and without the worry of meat morality, there really isn’t much not to like here. But you all knew that already, right?

WERE WE SUSSED?

We were sitting outside, so probably not.

IN CONVERSATION WITH

METALUNA

VJ DUO BRING NEW DIMENSIONS TO LIVE MUSIC WORDS BY STUART HUGGETT

metaLuna is a collaboration between visual artists Hayley May and Craig Whittington. They specialise in gig, festival and installation events, where video, photo and graphic images are remixed and manipulated in sync to live performance. As members of the Beatabet collective, metaLuna regularly provide visual accompaniment to artists such as AK/DK, Bunty and Man Ray Sky, and are curating SOURCE New Music for Brighton Digital Festival this month. When did you begin collaborating as metaLuna? In the late 90s we did our first VJ gig at a university event in New Zealand called the Red Light Disco. We started by lugging around VHS players, a large hardware video mixer, and sometimes Super 8 and 16mm projectors. It’s always been just the two of us, and we started calling ourselves metaLuna when we moved to London in 2000 and bought our first titanium Macbook Pro. It was a complete revelation as we could do everything from just that and a video projector. Has the amount of gear you use lessened or grown over the years? As time went on we got another laptop, a smaller video mixer and MIDI controllers, so the actual amount of gear grew. If we don’t need to take a projector and screen, we can still travel with a backpack each. With the right projector, we can finally work with full HD.

That’s remained our favourite, and the one we’ve been happy to upgrade with. How much can you tell us about your plans for this month’s SOURCE New Music show? We’re really excited about our collaboration with bitbin. We’ve been busy building a real 3D screen and started developing all new visual content specifically designed to work on it. We’ve not worked with either bitbin or Champion Fever before, but when we were invited to curate the show it seemed a perfect opportunity to get us all together. We’re also really excited to have Alphabets Heaven kick off the night, and Spacenoid are a favourite of ours, so we had to have them on the bill. We’ll be doing live visuals for each of the bands, and Beatabet DJs will be cooking up something special in the lower bar between the live acts. What Brighton Digital Festival events have metaLuna been involved in previously? Last year we did the visuals for the Beatabet Takeover of SOURCE New Music, which again was a Digital Festival event. Beatabet were also involved in all of the Brighton White Night events, so in the absence of this, the Digital Festival is massively important, not only for groups like Beatabet and solo digital artists, but also for the city. Just look at the programme for this year, you’ll see the depth of talent that Brighton has to offer.

Do you create your own programmes or use off the shelf What sort of people would metaLuna like to work with in software? the future? We were never really interested in coding and back when we There are a few things in the early planning stage, one of which got our first laptop there were already people starting to do would be perfect for the Dome.

SIX OF THE BEST

BRIGHTON-MADE VIDEOGAMES WORDS BY STEVE O’ROURKE

It’s easy to think that computer games are made ‘over there’ somewhere – Silicon Valley probably. But actually Brighton has got a really strong games industry – even influential website Eurogamer is based here. So to celebrate Brighton Digital Festival we dig out the biggest and best games to come out of Brighton’s tech hub. Next time we’ll do mobile games, cos we kick arse at them too.

BUZZ!

We love a juicy slice of trivia, just look at the all-conquering SOURCE pub quiz team as evidence of us taking a bit of Q&A super-seriously. Relentless Software’s BAFTA-winning Buzz! series were the benchmark for video game quizzes – fourplayer, TV-style game shows that came complete with red buzzer controllers so you could dominate your mates. Bafflingly, former Aussie pop idol Jason Donovan was chosen as the voice of Buzz himself. Presumably they had ten good reasons.

DJ: DECKS AND FX

Another Relentless production, the idea here was to take two record decks, a mixer, an effects unit and a sampler, add a whole crate of records and cram them into a PlayStation2 game. And surprisingly it worked. As well as the two turntables, there’s sample and loop functionality, pre-recorded snippets that you can throw into the mix, and even a rudimentary EQ. The game came with 50 dancefloor bangers and you couldn’t preload tunes but that didn’t stop fat-tongued spinner Timo Maas playing a set to 3000 Germans with it. Lazy fucker.

MOTO GP

Originally developed by Climax Brighton (later Black Rock Studio), MotoGP is the definitive motorbike sim that’s still roaring from the starter’s grid today. You’ll fall off more times than a pissed up jockey, you’ll curse at the Thatcherite rigidity

BUZZ!

of the racing line, marvel at the spartan trackside scenery and take a power nap during the petrol head technical guff. It’s not always that gripping, unless you’re really, really into motorsport, but it’s still the best bike racing sim.

PURE

Five years old and this arcade racer, another from Black Rock, still gets pulled from the shelves. Straddle an ATV (basically a souped-up quad bike) and pop your privates in your purse as you get the kind of big ramp air normally reserved for those on the stairway to heaven. With even more enjoyable physics than Brian Cox whizzing around the Large Hadron Collider, Pure is a bit less realistic but a lot more fun than (cough) MotoGP.

SINGSTAR

Updating the ‘hairbrush in front of the mirror’ pastime of the 80s, SingStar games are a bit like hard drugs – acceptable at parties, a bit disturbing if indulging alone. With the help of studios including Relentless and fellow Brighton firm Zoë Mode, it seemed like there were more iterations of SingStar than the ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ series, and just like those doorstop compilations, they were largely the same, with just ever so slight genre variations and opportunities for bigger and better singalongs.

ZUMBA FITNESS

Number one in the UK video games charts for ages, but not owned by anyone who normally buys games, Zumba Fitness and its sequels were a success for Zoë Mode. The video game exercise revolution was indeed televised and Zumba fans the world over danced themselves thinner to reggaeton, merengue, salsa, cumbia, hip hop, mambo, rumba, flamenco and calypso rhythms. A bit like a Friday night out in one of Brighton’s ‘jazzier’ venues then, just with dodgier visuals and a lot more sweat.
