TAKE with Eats Everything BMC18 After Party

On 26th April, Eats Everything will be headlining at The Arch, in association with TAKE, who have hosted many unforgettable parties across the UK. TAKE aims to put on parties that are undiscriminating and are something that everyone can enjoy. They want to celebrate people coming together through their love for music and are bringing their party to Brighton for the after-party of the Brighton Music Conference. TAKE have been involved with the conference for the last 3 years, and this year they are bringing Bristolian DJ Eats Everything with them to headline the event. Since releasing his debut Entrance Song in 2011, this DJ’s career has skyrocketed, receiving the second DJ Mag award for Best British DJ. His energetic, forward-thinking music is popular on the dance scene due to his merging of different sounds that wouldn't ordinarily be found on electronic beats, such as the use of a crowd cheering on Big Discs. This unique touch gives him an edge compared to those around him, introducing a new type of underground music. This after party is shaping up to be another unforgettable night at The Arch, so don’t miss your chance to celebrate the conference alongside other electronic music lovers.
