City Wall x Samuel L Session

If you are looking at what’s happening in Brighton next month, City Wall Records is bringing a specific techno focus to the Waterbear Venue on Friday, 13th March 2026. The night centres around Samuel L Session, a Swedish producer who has been a staple in the techno scene for quite some time. He is often recognised for his tribal, Detroit-influenced sound, having released music on established labels such as Drumcode, Tronic, and Soma. It is a straightforward underground club night that brings a veteran international perspective to the seafront, specifically for those who follow the more traditional techno sound.

The line-up for the City Wall x Samuel L Session event is built around the label’s own circle and some familiar local names. Ross Harper, who founded City Wall Records, is on the bill along with Gosia, a regular DJ for the label. They are joined by ATOXYL, the person behind Molasses, and Nathan Godolphin, known for founding Deeper Dance Journey. Because the support acts are all deeply involved in running their own labels or nights, the music is likely to stay within that underground techno bracket. It’s a cohesive group of artists who understand the genre well, which usually makes for a more consistent flow across the five-hour session.

For the practical side of things, the event starts at 22:00 and goes through until 03:00. If you are planning to head down a bit later, keep in mind that the last entry is strictly at 02:00. The Waterbear Venue is located at 169-170 The Kings Road Arches (BN1 1NB), so it’s right in that familiar stretch of beachfront arches. It is an 18+ only night, and while the specific ticket price is still marked as 'TBC', you can find the booking links on Skiddle, Ibiza Bible, and TicketSwap. It’s a standard setup for a Friday night in Brighton, aimed at people who prefer a club environment focused on the music rather than the usual weekend mainstream tracks.
