Patterns launches brand new residents led ‘FOCAL’ concept
Patterns has solidified its reputation as the cities premiere dancing spot by bringing forward-thinking and far-reaching sounds to Brighton week in, week out. Always distinctive and diverse; the line-ups span from left-leaning techno stompers to hi-energy grime, dusty disco grooves to heads down hip-hop. To see the year out, Patterns has curated a packed-out calendar of parties and live shows, featuring DJ Fett Burger, Ebi Soda, L U C Y, Batu, Kahn & Neek, Raphaël Top-Secret, Maurice Fulton, Sally C and more. And, there’s more huge news with the launch of ‘FOCAL’.The idea is simple, each resident will in time invite an artist they have a connection with to play with them all night long. FOCAL will not be defined by set times; each party will unravel naturally. First off Charles Green presents : Ryan Elliott, followed by Methola presents : Willow.
