Review of Garage Nation Brighton
I went to Garage Nation hoping to listen to garage music, as opposed to generic pop songs. I went not wanting to listen to Dua Lipa, and ended up having to listen to Dua Lipa. They just hyped up the same pop songs they play in every club ever. They played an occasional good song, like we had some Fugees at one point but it was the same Fugees sample for every time any club wants to seem it's playing better music than its competitors. I don't actually think they played true garage at any point?
If you're putting on a garage night, play some actual garage! I think perhaps they wanted to appeal to the wider public and not just those that bought tickets, but it means that you piss off the people that went there for some decent music for once aha. They played some d&b at the end, and at least that was okay because it wasn't your general pop songs. But still.. d&b is not garage! Also, shouting "ollie ollie ollie...!" to get the "oi oi oi" response is old anyway, but to do it over and over again is annoying. Last year's event had someone playing the side stage, and every time I've been it's always played better music than the main stage and has way more room to dance. Alas, this time there was no escaping the overcrowded, s**tty-music playing area. Honestly it was so average until it started clearing out a little so we had more space, and they stopped playing hyped pop songs.
Also, I like The Arch and all but they need to sort out the ladie's toilet's plumbing system. Every time I go the toilets are always blocked and it is gross.
