Audio is a well-known nightclub in the United Kingdom, most famously associated with
Brighton,
where it has played a significant role in the city's nightlife and electronic music scene. Originally established in the early 2000s,
Audio quickly gained a reputation for its forward-thinking programming and high-quality sound system, making it a key destination for both partygoers and aspiring DJs along the southern coast. The venue originally occupied the site of the former Escape Club, a legendary space located on
Brighton's seafront.
Over the years,
Audio underwent several renovations and structural improvements, including significant upgrades to its acoustics, light displays, and layout to create an immersive clubbing experience. Its prime location and vibrant atmosphere helped cement
Audio as a cultural hub, drawing diverse crowds and fostering a sense of community among music lovers.
Audio has played an important part in showcasing the latest in house, techno, drum & bass, and other electronic genres, both reflecting and shaping the broader musical tastes of the area.
Its commitment to providing a platform for both established and emerging talent has made it culturally significant not only within
Brighton but also across the UK club scene. In 2014, the venue was rebranded as Patterns, undergoing another extensive facelift, but the original
Audio legacy remains strong in local memory and lore.
