MONKI house / disco set in The Lab LDN
Here come the glitter-soaked weekend warriors, the ones who think disco died in the 70s just to be resurrected by a sequined jacket and a Pioneer DJ rig. They're aggressively fabulous, twirling under the lights and acting like they're at Studio 54, even though they're crammed into a sweaty East London office block. But let's be honest, the vibe inside The Lab LDN is absolutely electric, a neon-drenched celebration of pure, unadulterated groove. This MONKI live set is a flawless, high-energy ride through house and classic vocal anthems, wearing its Rominimal tag very lightly.
The mixing is incredibly sharp, cruising at a steady 126.3 BPM average in a tight 125-128 BPM pocket, flawlessly utilizing 12A and 7A key transitions to keep the dancers in a perpetual state of euphoria. The MONKI The Lab LDN tracklist is an absolute treasure chest for the crate diggers. Dropping 'Jacques Renault - Main Line' is a massive flex that gets the room bumping, but throwing in 'Luisito Quintero - Music for Gong Gong' shows some proper percussive pedigree. The journey is an uplifting masterclass.
Starting with an ID opening track, she builds a massive, hands-in-the-air peak before delivering absolute scenes with the legendary closing track 'Aretha Franklin - You Keep Me Hangin' On'. Pure class.
