Next Gen Garage: Jack Marlow

Brighton's club scene is always buzzing, and if you're looking ahead to late February, there’s a night coming up at Patterns that’s worth marking down. It’s called Next Gen Garage: Jack Marlow, and it’s happening on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This isn't just another UKG night; the main feature, Jack Marlow, is making waves by pioneering what’s being called 'house infused garage music.' He’s been growing at a fierce rate, bringing a fresh sound to the dance floor that blends the familiar rhythms of garage with something a bit harder and housier.

Marlow is only 23, but he’s already established himself as a significant name in UK dance music, known for delivering high-energy live performances. His approach is all about fusing different sounds; the data shows he takes cues from the classic UK Garage vibe, citing artists like Sammy Virji, but also incorporates the heavier elements of hard house, mentioning Kettama as an influence. This blend of House and UK Garage is what defines his style, creating a mix of nostalgia and modern club energy. If you’ve been listening to tracks like 'Who do u' or 'Pressure FM,' you’ll know why he’s racked up 1.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify. The event is billed as Jack Marlow plus support, ensuring the night stays focused on this specific, evolving sound.

For those planning to head down, the venue is Patterns, located right on the seafront at 10 Marine Parade, BN2 1TL. It’s a proper late one, running from 11:00 PM (23:00) on Saturday night right through until 4:00 AM on Sunday, March 1st. Just keep in mind that the last entry is set for 1:30 AM, so you’ll need to arrive before then. Tickets are available now, starting from £6.18, which is pretty standard for a club night featuring an artist with this kind of momentum. It sounds like a solid option if you’re keen to check out where UK Garage is heading next.
