The Donky Pitcher’s Thursday night parties work on the theory that only people who truly appreciate the music turn up at midweek events, and judging by the atmosphere at their recent 1st birthday bash at the Volks, it’s a policy that seems to be paying dividends.The crowd is not just an enthusiastic one, it’s also large, which is even more impressive given the music policy.

The Donky Pitch DJs champion many kinds of bass music but rarely will you find them playing any mainstream dubstep or hip hop. Indeed last month we were treated to live skweee sets from Finland’s Randy Barracuda and Brighton’s own Boss Kite, and that seems to be the sort of unique line-up that the night specialises in. All in all, if you are looking for a slightly left-of-centre midweek fill of bass, you will not go far wrong with the Donky.
