Friday 20th January - 3Sixty, Reading University Students Union

On 20th January, DANCE returns with not one but two heavyweight headliners to kick off 2017 at 3Sixty with a big bang!



REDLIGHT joins us just weeks before headlining one of the first nights at Fabric after it re-opens. He is a Bristol raised, London based artist navigating the unnamed airspace between house, bass and beyond. He started out in the early 2000’s under the alias Clipz and released a string of successful DnB tracks. In 2009 he decided to create something different and bring out a new sound – ‘Source 16’ and ‘What You Talking About!?’ (featuring Ms Dynamite on vocals), two of his early releases, both had a massive influence on today’s grime and bass producers.



He has also made it into the UK top 20 singles chart twice with the huge ‘Get Out My Head’ and ‘Lost In Your Love’ while more recently "9TS (90s Baby)" became a festival anthem with huge support from Annie Mac, B.Traits and many more. Redlight’s own record label “Lobster Boy” embraces a love for House, Techno, Hip Hop and vocal-lead dance music, whilst channelling his knowledge and love of Jungle, DnB and bass music. Mak & Pasteman, New York Transit Authority, Melé and Mella Dee have all released big tunes through his imprint in the last couple of years

MONKI is an underground tastemaker championing new electronic talent on her Radio 1/ 1Xtra slot and digital imprint Zoo Music. Monki’s box-fresh bass music inspired sets include everything from piano house rave stabs to skeleton shattering bass. Monki spent 4 years at Rinse FM, climbing to the enviable 4-6pm Saturday slot, before being snapped up by Radio 1’s In New DJs We Trust and now has her own show Monday nights 10pm – 1am (GMT) on 1xtra and Sunday nights into Monday mornings 1-4am on Radio 1.



As a radio DJ catering for the best new dance music, Monki’s inundated with quality unsigned tracks. In 2012 she set up her digital label Zoo Music and continues to release music from some of her favourite new producers including TIEKS, Applebottom and Kalyde. Monki forged forces with Red Bull Studios London to create the free downloadable EP ‘Monki & Friends EP’ with label buddies and artists including My Nu Leng, Shadow Child, Karma Kid, Friend Within & SG Lewis. As well as running her own touring club night under the same name Monki is also resident DJ for Annie Mac’s critically acclaimed club night AMP. Watch her closing AMP at Warehouse project last month, it’s going to be special: https://www.facebook.com/monkidj/videos/892334080867265/
