This will be the 10th year we run the finest music industry festival in Brighton THE FAKE ESCAPE!!!! It began in a pop- up shop on Western road all those years ago and has grown so big (some say too big) over the years that it has had to move to The Rose Hill!
2 floors of live music, performance and visuals in collaboration with local label and collective Ceremonial Laptop!
More acts TBA!!
BEN SEAL
"Fife based producer composer and musician Ben Seal effortlessly straddles disciplines and genres, through film and music. It’s that tension that makes them an endlessly fascinating, singular artist, along with their refusal to compromise and fit into prescribed niches" The Wee review.
Mafu
Having just launched their new EP "Piss Queen" with local label New Scenery back in April, Mafu is back to wreak a similar kind of good time on the Rose Hill punters. Their improvised sets are packed with jumpy fun, hard stomping and wobbly stuff. Mafu can be heard at venues around Brighton busting out high energy DJ blends featuring lots of hard techno, ballroom, jungle, electro and basically anything sexy or silly or fun.
