Clubdelisa – Beats for the Underdogs echoed through the night as UK electronic duo Audiojack took over Blackbox in Hastings for an electrifying three-hour set. But this wasn’t just another rave it was a call to action. With the number of live music venues in the UK dropping from over 3,000 in 2005 to fewer than 700 in 2025, Audiojack’s performance served as a spotlight on a growing crisis in grassroots nightlife.
The event highlighted the urgency of saving the cultural spaces that once thrived in the British club scene. Far from the glitz of superclubs, Blackbox represented the kind of intimate, community-driven venue that built the foundations of electronic music. Audiojack’s commitment was clear: music must be more than sound it must be a lifeline for culture.
Beats for the Underdogs wasn’t just a catchy phrase it was the spirit of the night. Audiojack curated a journey through deep house, tech, and progressive beats that reflected the energy, struggle, and resilience of small venues across the country. The crowd, immersed in pulsing rhythms and ambient visuals, became part of the message: that dancefloors matter.

The duo’s set wasn’t just about nostalgia; it was a vision for a sustainable future. By performing in a club like Blackbox, they rejected the mainstream trend of massive, impersonal venues and instead honored the scene’s roots one built on community, authenticity, and connection.
Beats for the Underdogs now echoes far beyond Hastings. Audiojack’s performance is part of a wider movement among artists and fans calling for increased support and recognition of independent clubs. As economic pressures, gentrification, and post-pandemic recovery continue to threaten small venues, efforts like this help raise awareness and spark change.
Audiojack’s night at Blackbox was more than just music it was a rallying cry. A beat-driven reminder that the soul of nightlife lies not in its size, but in its spirit.
