Fresh from smashing one of AVA Festival’s legendary Boiler Room slots, he’ll bring the same energy to Brighton next month. Next up, Slimzee heads to the Brighton basement for a raw, old-skool jungle set; an essential for any jungle fan. Find two icons with iconic record collections to match playing all night long in the Patterns basement the weekend after, Red Greg and Nick The Record. Set to be a special one, this is a Patterns debut for Red Greg – the East End record collector and edit master who has been a key part of the UK underground since the 80s.

Later in July Patterns teams up with Wheel It for another night of DnB vibes with Metalheadz’ Commix, and there’ll be a special Trans Pride takeover on 20th of the month in line with the Pride celebrations across Brighton later in the summer; magical.

Normal service resumes the week after with Wheel It’s liquid DnB rave, and Parisian disco don Bellaire laying it down on the Saturday. At only 20 years old he’s made an impact with his house, disco and jazz tinged productions, plus killer DJ sets. Calling all garage heads, the one and only Wookie heads to the Patterns basement on the 16th; gun fingers at the ready as this true garage OG steps up for a ‘History of Garage’ session.
