I believe the answer is:

beanfeast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'party that has a pulse' is the definition.
'beanfeast' can be an answer for 'party' (beanfeast is a kind of party). I'm not certain of the rest of the definition.

'party that has a pulse' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'feast' (feast is a kind of party).
'that has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a pulse' becomes 'bean' (beans are a type of pulse).
'feast' after 'bean' is 'BEANFEAST'.

Can you help me to learn more?
