Marshall Jefferson

On Friday, 14th August 2026, Concorde 2 will host a performance by Marshall Jefferson, a figure deeply rooted in the origins of Chicago House. For those who follow the evolution of electronic music, Jefferson is a key name, having produced 'Move Your Body' in 1986—a track that earned the subtitle 'The House Music Anthem'. His work in the late eighties also includes significant contributions to tracks like 'Acid Tracks' and 'Someday', which helped define the early house and acid house sounds. Seeing a pioneer of this era at a venue like the one on Madeira Drive offers a specific look at the genre's history, away from the more commercial iterations of dance music.

The event is structured as an early evening session, running from 18:00 to 22:00. This timing is a bit of a departure from the standard late-night club schedule, providing a four-hour window dedicated to House, Disco, and Disco House. Sam Moffett, a familiar face from the English Disco Lovers collective, is set to provide support. Moffett’s involvement suggests a warm-up that respects the disco roots of Jefferson’s house style, ensuring the musical progression of the evening remains consistent. It is an 18+ event, catering to an adult audience that typically appreciates the more technical and historical aspects of the DJ sets.

In terms of the practicalities, Concorde 2 is situated at BN2 1EN, and the venue is well-known among locals for its sound system and seafront location. While the date is firmly in the calendar for mid-August, ticket prices are currently marked as 'To Be Confirmed'. Booking links and availability checks are already live on several event platforms, so the final cost should be clarified soon. For anyone interested in the foundational sounds of the Chicago scene, this session provides a chance to hear those tracks in a setting that has long been a staple of Brighton’s music community.
