Positive Sounds Beach Party

Positive Sounds are back on the beach at Carats Cafe Bar on Saturday 5 September, part of a three-party run they're bringing to Southwick Beach this season. They're Brighton's original beach party crew, and this return comes by popular demand after a roadblock reunion party the previous year. The 2026 season is built around the organisers' all-time favourite guests and their own resident DJs, with a state-of-the-art sound system brought in for the occasion.

Their sound is rooted in the UK underground, a deep, intelligent and funky house style that draws on jazz, punk and reggae. It's a style they honed on London's pirate radio circuit and at underground parties like Wiggle and Whoop Whoop, so there's a fair bit of history behind it. The whole thing is built around the resident DJs, with the guest spots filled by the people they've always wanted to have on.

It's one of three beach parties they're running in Southwick this season, so if you're after a night out by the water, this is one of them. The party starts at 21:00 at Carats Cafe Bar, Basin Road South, Southwick, BN41 1WD, and tickets are £13.00.
