It Came From the Sea - Komedia
Ultra stylised graphics and flyers? Check! Ludicrous maxxed out PR campaign to rival Jade Goody on the comeback charm offensive? Gotcha. Club rammed to the rafters monthly with the cream of Brighton’s hipsters, tipsters and scenesters? In!
Ladies and Gentlemen – you’re in Nick and Kick’s hut now.
Their playlist reads like the line-up of some Inter Galactic phuture rave beamed back from titanium clad 4037 to dishwater dull 2007. And with righteous dedication to dropping only the freshest hip-hop, fashion pop and electro sleaze rock, you’re unlikely to hear the same song twice on the dance floor. Indeed, you may never hear it again until, inevitably, it crops up on an NME covermount 18 months later.
The Source checks in on a balmy summer’s evening and even by midnight the cavernous Komedia is heaving: Ravers old and new rub shoulders with trash fashionatas, curious electro heads and robot rockers and the whole thing feels not unlike some warped indie disco in heaven.
Lasers, strobes, LEDs, plastic flowers and ICFTS’s bespoke visuals dominate the clubscape and as the music and intensity shifts up another gear the dance floor takes on a chaotic, hyper-real swirl, light years away from the dank grot of your typical Brighton club.
There probably isn’t another night in the land that could fill a space as vast as the Komedia with this much character, attitude and electrifying atmosphere and for this reason alone, ICFTS has etched its name indelibly in the annals of Brighton’s clubbing history.
