Club Review: O>Y>B

Posted by Zac Colbert

OYB in Brighton SOURCE at www.brightonsource.co.uk Brighton’s best listings, music and culture magazine

The guys behind Flava In Ya Ear are no strangers to long queues, so when Old Yellow Bricks has a line of eagerness stretching from the Coalition to West Pier, it’s business as usual. We arrive at midnight and the venue’s already bursting at the seams. Charles Green and Monty rinse out the crowd-pleasing anthems, from Tynie Tempah’s ‘Pass Out’ to House of Pain’s ‘Jump Around’, as well as slipping in some tunes with a bit more bite, like Foreign Beggars’ ‘Badman Riddim’, to a gyrating dancefloor that continues to fill with revelling extras from The Only Way Is Essex.

Forget your fidget house and future garage – this evening’s not about afro beat aficionados, it’s about shameless party vibes for the Courvoisier connoisseurs. There’s a refreshing scarcity of pretension – this is clubbing that’s down to earth and up for anything. For a reem Saturday night on Brighton’s seafront the only way is O>Y>B.
