Drum'n'bass guru Bryan Gee melts down and Bonobo returns to the Hoop this weekend.

MELTDOWN, The Beach, King's Road Arches, Brighton, 01273 722272, July 18. Fans of drum'n' bass have a few options around town but Meltdown has built something of a reputation thanks to the legendary V Recordings' head don Bryan Gee and friends. He is the living embodiment of drum'n' bass and from the early days has been one of the most committed in championing the sound. Gee will be joined by Bad Company, Addiction and Quantum while MCs MC and Darison will add vocal support. 10pm to 3am. £8.50/£7.50.

CONTAGIOUS, Honeyclub, King's Road Arches, Brighton, every Thursday. I always wondered who went clubbing on a Thursday night. Seems like it's all the pretty, young things at this tale of two halves. DJs Cheeky, Dulcie, Owen and Howie play dance in the main room with Johnny Comes Nicely dropping anthems in the back. I was there last week and it was rammed in the back. The drinks are cheap but, unless you can get away with a lazy Friday, I recommend moderation. (and dancing to Beyonce et al) 10pm to 2am. £1 before 11 then £2/4.

PHONIC:HOOP, The Enigma, Ship Street, Brighton, July 19 Bonobo (Ninja Tune) returns to the Hoop tomorrow alongside TM Juke (Tru Thoughts/Unfold).

With their respective debut albums Dial M for Monkey on Ninja and TM Juke's Maps from the Wilderness unleashed, this will be a night of exclusives. 10pm to 2am. £7 (£6 members).
