Club Review: Friday I’m In Love

Jan 28, 2011

Posted by Zac Colbert

Friday I'm In Love at Coalition reviewed in Brighton SOURCE magazine, Brighton's best music, arts and listings magazine.

Brighton nightlife spoils its punters – whether you’re after live music or a DJ behind the decks, the pubs, clubs and bars in town always have something to offer. And that’s just midweek, let alone on Friday nights when there’s a plethora of events to help you celebrate the start of the weekend. Consequently promoters go to great lengths to distinguish their night from the rest of the rabble; hat themes, booking big name DJs or even getting a bouncy castle in front of the club.

The Fat Poppadaddys crew eschew all these gimmicks, focusing on making their club night at Coalition, Friday I’m in Love, honest-to-God simple fun. And that it certainly is, as Matt Robinson spins a crowd-pleasing mix of party pop, chart-friendly drum’n’bass and indie, ensuring the dancefloor is throbbing all evening. Brightly-coloured bodies thrust and thrash around as Beyonce blends into Danny Byrd who switches to Arctic Monkeys. Students come for the drinks offers but they stay for the lack of pretense and ‘let’s have a laugh’ vibe. If you’re looking for an accessible club night with its own quirky character your heart will skip a beat when it finds Friday I’m in Love.

TOP TEN

Fatboy Slim ‘Praise You’
Mumford & Sons ‘Little Lion Man’
Jet ‘Are You Gonna be My Girl’
House Of Pain ‘Jump Around’
The Specials ‘A Message To You Rudy’
Danny Byrd feat I-Kay ‘I’ll Behaviour’
Sum 41 ‘Fat Lip’
Wise Guys ‘Oh La La’
The Rolling Stones ‘Paint It, Black’
The Police ‘Roxanne’
