Clubbing has been a vital and vibrant part of UK youth culture for decades, ever evolving and giving rise to some of electronic music’s biggest names. These big-name DJs now mostly perform at large-scale events or headline massive festival stages, overshadowing the club experience. Rarely do they play in small, grassroots venues, which many of them miss for its intimate, raw club feeling. This shift has put many of these venues at risk as they find it hard to compete.
Now, dance music news portal, The Night Bazaar, and Hastings Nightclub Blackbox are stepping up to raise awareness of this issue and offer a solution by bringing renowned DJs to small spaces without the hefty ticket price.
The Night Bazaar presents… BLACKBOX is a new monthly party launching on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025. The concept is straightforward: special guest DJs join the resident DJs to perform an extended set in the intimate confines of BLACKBOX. With a superb sound system and minimal lighting, the venue’s 250-capacity audience gets the rare chance to experience some of the industry’s best established and emerging DJs. Simultaneously helping to nurture future talent alongside bigger names.
The opening night will feature special guest Audiojack, who will join resident DJs Jim Rivers, MarkGwinnett, and Mark Dickson. With many big name DJs already in the pipeline for future events. With a no-phone policy, The Night Bazaar and BLACKBOX aim to reclaim club culture and bring it back to basics, focusing on the music and a shared, intimate dance floor experience. At the same time and shining a spotlight on the plight of small venues in the UK.
The Night Bazaar presents… BLACKBOX are supported by the Night Time Industries Association(NTIA), the organisation at the forefront of supporting and highlighting the challenges faced by small clubs in the UK.
