The Recommender Party No. 6 with The Phenomenal Handclap Band

Big news! We've upgraded to a bigger, better and more respected venue in the form of Audio. Our line-up is also way bigger and better to celebrate our launch party in our new home. Feast your eyes on this:




Sat 31st July
Audio, 10 Marine Parade, Brighton

The Recommender Launch Party with:

The Phenomenal Handclap Band - There's honestly no superlatives or twisted adjectives that could describe just how good this eight piece New York band are. They have absolutely every ingredient to make any party go off. Impossibly entertaining disco, funk, pop and groove are all thumped out by the sexiest band alive today. Prepare to be hypnotized!

David E Sugar - This will be a live set with a band behind this pioneering DJ. Famous for doing extraordinary things with a Speak %26 Spell, you may well have come across this underground sensation on Kitsune compilations. Most recently he's signed to Rob Da Bank's Sunday Best label, which will surely push this artist well and truly overground.

Young Empires - This Canadian three piece are coming to Brighton for the first time ever. They arrive with a tidal wave of hype and hungry A%26R men, alongside their original, percussive, indie pop magic. The new Friendly Fires anyone?


On top of that there'll be the usual Recommender shenanigans in the form of The Photobooth and a free mixtape for the first 50 people all for only £8 plus booking fee which will also get you in to The Recommender Late with:

Rory Phillips - He's the protegé to none other than the DJ overlord, Erol Alkan, having had a residency at London's Trash night and its modern version, Durr. With a truckload of seemingly perfect remixes under his belt, expect a set of the unexpected - of course played using his signature phone set instead of a pair of headphones.

The Recommender DJs - A unique partnership formed from two of Brighton's best DJ teams (Battery Powered and Blah Blah Blah DJs). These guys play everything from upfront new music taken from The Recommender to dance floor smashing house, disco and techno. Expect to move.

You can buy tickets from Ape, Resident or Rounder if you're local to Brighton. If you're from further afield then you can order online from Ape here.
