Bust the Box - Concorde 2
Many clubs purport to inspire ‘unbridled hedonism’ but it usually just means someone once did a little sick in the toilets on a hen night. Bust the Box is different, inspiring hedonism on a scale which has no parallel. Don’t like nights where the atmosphere (and the heat) hit you like a blast from a furnace the moment you step through the doors? You’re advised to stay away - it’s not for the faint hearted.
There’s a manic intensity to BTB in full swing, somewhere in between the fall of the Roman Empire, a full on old-skool rave and a wedding disco gone very badly wrong. It’s a product of the friendliest, most colourful and most up-for-it crowd in Brighton and a music, ahem, ‘policy’ which lurches violently from caning D’n’B and tough Ragga to Motorhead and Classic soul within the space of just a few records.BTB’s natural environment is some unsuspecting boozer at Bank Holiday. Invariably everyone’s still up from the party the night before and the only thing for it is to head to the pub, unload the big speakers and get right back on it. BTB can also be found at the Volks monthly, NYE-ly and at various one offs such as tonight’s do at the Concorde: a charity bash for Darfur cum-memorial for their late great spiritual leader Dennis ‘The Good Doctor’ Sherez.
There are very few nights brazen, or indeed popular enough to tackle the hangar like Concorde and there are even fewer selfless enough to donate their entire door take to charity and this kind of sums up the BTB ethos: Spirited, unpretentious and decadent events by good people, for good people. Long may they continue.posted by: Jim Brackpool @ 11:20 PM
