The Spirit of Gravity

Brighton's longest running experimental and electronic music night, run voluntarily since January 2001 by a collective of local electronic and experimental musicians. It was launched by Nick Rilke and Tony Rimbaud of Maphead Productions and has since presented hundreds of local and international artists, promoting an eclectic mix of leftfield, noise and electronic work that has nowhere else to go in the city. The night happens on the first Thursday of every month at the Rossi Bar, a short walk south of Brighton station, typically with three live acts plus visuals for a few pounds on the door. The collective also runs a monthly radio show, Gravity Waves and the Spirit World, on ResonanceExtra, and a pay-what-you-will net label on Bandcamp.
