Dub Pistols & Freestylers: Album Launch Show

If you’re looking for a solid mid-week gig in Brighton next month, mark your calendar for the collaborative album launch show featuring two long-time UK party veterans: Dub Pistols & Freestylers. These groups, known for being production and touring partners for years, are celebrating the release of their new joint project, Enter The Sound, with a show at CHALK.

This isn't just a standard gig; the album itself is described as a full-length sonic journey that deliberately fuses a wide range of sounds. You can expect the night to move seamlessly through Reggae, Ska, Breakbeat, Jungle, Hip Hop, and Trip Hop. The digital version of Enter The Sound is set to drop just before the event, on March 6, 2026, giving everyone a few days to get familiar with the tracks before the live performance. The collaboration is particularly interesting because of the sheer number of artists involved; the album features an impressive roster of guests, including names like Johnny Osbourne, Tippa Irie, General Levy, Too Many T’s, Horseman, Belle Humble, Scarlett Quinn, Tenor Fly, MC Spyda, Persona, Harry Shotta, and Seanie T. It’s a massive lineup that suggests the live show will be equally dynamic, potentially featuring some of the album’s partial tracks like 'Power & Sound feat. Tippa Irie' or 'Like We feat. General Levy'.

The launch show takes place on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at CHALK, located at 13 Pool Valley. It’s an early evening event, running from 7:00 PM and wrapping up by 10:00 PM. For those planning to attend, tickets are currently priced around £17.96. It’s worth noting the age restriction for the venue: the event is open to anyone 14 years and older, though anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. If you appreciate the heavier, genre-blending side of UK electronic and sound system culture, this is definitely one to check out.
