I know it's a bit vain of me to big up my own night like this, but I just wanted to say a massive thankyou to everyone who turned up on Friday, it was an amazing atmosphere, such a friendly, fun-loving crowd, with smiles all round, thankyou for making Insurgence's Brighton debut an absolutely blinding night!

Also, wanna say a big thankyou to all the DJs who turned up and played spot on sets, you all smashed it, the dancefloor was packed all night, and the music was properly banging, well done to all you guys!

An extra special thankyou has to go out to Matt Durstan for sorting DJs for the second room at a couple of hours notice (Pressure Point didn't mention it till a couple of hours before the night was due to start), and for the DJs (Matt Durstan, Chris Toxic, Reteric, Whozat and a funky house DJ mate of Andy's, whose name I never found out) for turning up to play at such short notice. You guys are all legends, and I owe you all beers next time I see you out :-)

It's a bit of a cliche, but the biggest thanks have to go out to you, the ravers, for making the night what it was. Without you guys, Insurgence would be nothing, thank you! I hope all of you enjoyed the night as much as I did, and I hope to see you all again at the next one :-)

Finally, I just want to clear up a few things. Firstly, the Ugly Dave no show. Dave has explained why he didn't show up (further on in this thread), and he had lost his phone in the accident, meaning he was unable to call. Also, I apologise for saying that I had heard stories about Ugly Dave, I didn't mean to imply anything about his character, I honestly don't know if these stories are true or not, and didn't mean to give the impression that I thought they were. I was just trying to explain why I was suspicious about Dave's no show. I realise that I went about it completely the wrong way, and apologise for any offence caused. I was also wrong to refer to his actions as "pretty fucking shoddy behaviour", not knowing what had happened, and now understand why he did what he did.

Secondly, the next event. As some of you may have heard, Pressure Point is closing its doors next Friday, which leaves Insurgence homeless again for the time being. There are new venues in the pipeline for the next one, so the chances are we'll be returning sooner rather than later. In the meantime, thankyou to everyone for making our launch night a huge success, hope to see you all again soon...

Dave/Shift-e :-)

Glad it went well mate, Regardless of the no show headliner! Sorry couldn't make it, will defo be at the next one!!

See ya soon mate! :D

Thanks buddy, had a wicked night, no worries on helping out always willing to help out a night in need ;-)
I would also like to say a massive thanks to Dixon and Dempz who not only played a wicked set (alongside mr shift-e i must add) but also showed me a wicked time and nearly ended up as pissed as I did lol

Looking forward to the next one, cheers guys :-)

Finally, I just want to clear up a few things. Firstly, the Ugly Dave no show. We booked Ugly Dave, filled in a contract and everything, and then he blew us out without warning, or, indeed, explanation. Dave, if you're reading this, I personally think that was pretty fucking shoddy behaviour, and I'd appreciate some kind of explanation, although, to be honest, I've heard a lot of stories about you screwing people over like this (I won't say where I heard them from at this stage, but I know peop...

Got to play another hour!!! Cheers dave! ;-)

True, it all worked out for the best. Never seen Brighton ravers go that mad for hardstyle, wicked set you guys! :-)

lol, go on my son! Was wicked to have you guys down, let me know when you're next down Brighton, could be a mad one...

No worries, shame you weren't there (although in someways, it wasn't, as I forgot to buy a pimp outfit...) Hopefully see you at the next one (maybe this time in full pimp gear, I dunno...) :-p

Also, forgot to put this in the original post, apologies for the lack of decent lighting and decor, Ugly Dave was supposed to be bringing some down, but obviously he never showed up, so we were left without any. Next time, we'll have a shitload, and the club's gonna look wicked (wherever it might be).

Don't wanna leave this post on a negative note, so thanks again everyone for supporting Insurgence, both those who turned up, and those who supported it on here and through various other means :-)

lol, go on my son! Was wicked to have you guys down, let me know when you're next down Brighton, could be a mad one...

Cheers Matt, hope to see you and the rest of the Vinyl Destination crew down at Insurgence soon :-)

I had a brilliant time! Although the music wasn't really my cup of tea the whole evening I found salvation downstairs listening to Matt (until some dreaded weirdo put some horrible Gabba on!)

The crowd were wicked! Thanks for sorting this for everyone, myself and my friend certainly had a great night.

We had a wicked night too... thx everyone for a great night. I've never been to PP before in Brighton but it was fab to have been there and the crowd was really nice too.

Breamo - how is your random hand =p

No worries, shame you weren't there (although in someways, it wasn't, as I forgot to buy a pimp outfit...) Hopefully see you at the next one (maybe this time in full pimp gear, I dunno...) :-p

Oh yes, the hardstyle pimp outfit.... I'll dig my cyber out for the next one!

*Goes off to find a pimp outfit just in case*

Mate it had to be done!! I felt like shite and the only option was to have a load of bevvies! God im a pisshead! lol!

I find this solution works as well, get wrecked enough when you feel shite and you'll soon forget that you were feeling shite in the first place... :-p

I'll believe that when I see it lol...how many times did you say you were coming down to Polskie in full cyber? :-p

I'd have got stabbed if i'd worn full cyber to Polskie, could you imagine walking through the bar dressed like that???

Glad it went well for you mate, sorry had to do one after I played but family birthday comitments n all (the only reason I'd ever pay £14 to get into the Concorde for a whole two hours!). Let us know when you've got the next instalment lined up
