New Years Eve lineup announcement!

DJ's:
Coala
Digit 3
Matt Wakeford

Coala, originally from South Africa, this up and coming talent will be showcasing the very best in modern organic house. With label influences from the likes of anjunadeep, colorize and melody of the soul to name just a few, he'll be the perfect start to your new years eve journey.

Digit 3, after smashing his set at last years New Years Eve party, we had to have him back. Residing in Brighton (and his camper van), this guy definitely knows his music. With proggy and tech vibes galore we're looking forward to what he has in store for us this year.

Matt Wakeford, I'll be seeing everyone into 2024 with some Pulse8 favourites along with some classics for good measure. Get your predictions in for this year's midnight drop!

Pulse8 launch night, Saturday 30th September, 8pm, The Anchor Hotel. Horshams newest dance space.

With the ever evolving journey dance music provides, it felt like a good time to retire The House Night and start something new.
Having a genre specific brand began to feel not quite right, with the diverse range of music interesting me now, from organic, melodic to breaks and tech, it's constantly progressing forward and creating sounds that inspire me to share.

Also, as you may notice, every year, I try to level up the experience of my nights through equipment upgrades in both sound and visual aspects. This year is no exception.
I've improved the sound system for a new dance area with a sub from Pioneer Pro audio.
I've put in new lighting. We now have moving heads on the dance area and a new beam bar.
Everything is programmed using DMX with a new performance controller from wolfmix, so I'll be controlling the lights whilst DJing.
There are new visuals for all the screens and projector wall to keep your eyes entertained.
And of course, there's lasers.

This project is aimed at creating an inviting space to dance and enjoy music at point in the night that doesn't have to mean staying up too late!
It will run every Saturday from 8pm till 12:00am.

All in all, i think this coming party season has great potential, I'm excited, and I look forward to seeing you on the dancefloor in the coming months.
Thanks for the support,

Cheers, Matt 🎧 😎
