XOYO, London’s prime clubbing destination, has revealed a bass-heavy programme of Friday night events for January 2025. Hitting hard on the bassline, jungle and drum ‘n’ bass fronts with parties including, Ray Keith : All Night Long (10 Jan), House Of Girls Next Door (17 Jan) and MC Flux : 35 Years Deep (24 Jan), the January Blues will seem all but a myth when ravers step through the doors in Shoreditch this month.
In preparation of a 5-hour set at the hallowed XOYO with MCs Moose & Juiceman, Dread Recordings head honcho and all round d’n’b legend, Ray Keith said, “What a way to kick off the year. I’m going to be playing some soul, rare groove, jazz, hip hop, funk, disco, house, ’88-’89 classics, and going through the gears from 91-94 – I’m gona throw in some pop classics because that’s where we’re from… Big up all the DJs that paved the way before us. See you on the dance floor.”
Keeping the energy vital at XOYO this January are Girls Next Door as they perform their first ever 360 show – the optimum, immersive set up to catch the girls in action, alongside Euphonique, Katalyst, Klumzykhemist, and more. AKA Maddy V, Ms Pink and Mila Falls, these girls have it all: DJ skill, MC talent and outstanding vocals that’ve torn crowds to shreds at performances from Boomtown to Glastonbury.
A celebratory night of jungle and d’n’b is in store when MC Flux enters the building, celebrating 35 years at the top of his game. As the MC of choice for fellow titans Fabio & Grooverider, Goldie and Randall (RIP), expect Flux to bring his A-game to a perfectly curated lineup that features the one and only Sweetpea, the heights of DJ Flight, the First Lady of Drum’n’ Bass DJ Storm, 2 Bad Mice, T>1, Doc Scott and more over two rooms.
Clubbers can pay thanks to UK indie promoters, Weird Science, for pulling together this bass lickin’ January at XOYO. The collective, alongside the leading promoter, LWE, are responsible for bringing a renowned calibre of electronic music programming to XOYO, making it one of London’s most celebrated venues. With a club capacity of just 800, XOYO makes for an intimate and safe space to get close to the scene’s best acts, while retaining the magic of what underground clubbing was always about.
Tickets for all shows on Fridays in January start from £10 plus booking fee. Visit www.xoyo.co.uk for more information and follow on socials @xoyolondon for all the latest updates.
