Selassie performs a four-hour DJ set of eclectic, soulful and worldwide rhythms at Alphabet in Brighton.
On Saturday, 25th April 2026, the Brighton venue Alphabet will host a four-hour DJ set by Selassie. This night is organised by Capsule & TAXI, continuing their series of events that has previously featured names like Charlie Dark and Emma-Jean Thackray. The musical focus for the evening is a broad selection of soulful rhythms, incorporating elements of Contemporary Jazz, Dub, Hip Hop, and RNB. It is a session designed for those who follow these specific genres or have attended the previous nights in this series, which tend to highlight eclectic sounds from across the globe. Selassie often explores these sounds through platforms like NTS Radio, and this set provides a longer format to hear that range in a club environment.

The schedule for the day starts early, with the pub on the ground floor of the building at 11 Dyke Road opening its doors at 4:00 PM. The music programme upstairs begins at 9:00 PM with a set by TAXI, serving as the lead-in for Selassie, who will be behind the decks from 10:00 PM until the venue closes at 2:00 AM. This four-hour window allows for a more gradual progression through the different styles mentioned, moving from the earlier jazz-influenced tracks into heavier dub or hip hop rhythms as the night goes on. Since Alphabet is known for its limited capacity, the space can fill up quite quickly once the main set begins, which is a common occurrence for these specific curated nights.
In terms of logistics, entry to the event costs £18.50. As is standard for club nights at this venue, it is an 18+ event, so ID will be required at the door. The price point and the specific musical curation suggest an audience interested in independent music scenes and global sounds. There are no opening acts beyond the initial set by TAXI, leaving the majority of the night to the main feature. Given the history of these specific promoters in Brighton, the event follows a familiar format for local regulars who frequent the independent circuit and are used to the intimate setting of the upstairs room at Alphabet.
