Description
The RE:LAX crew are inside for a night of sharp contours, low-end weight, and forward motion.
Since launching their mix series and label of the same name, Laksa and re:ni have emerged as key voices in the UK’s post-techno evolution, melding tightly wound rhythms, percussive propulsion, and deep sub-bass pressure with an ear for surprise. Their B2Bs are both surgical and loose, pulling from UK bass, techno, dubstep, jungle and beyond. They’ll be closing the night together from 2am onward, guiding the night from peak-time intensity into deep, afterhour exploration.
Kicking things off at 10pm is Don-Ri, an Irish-born, New York-based DJ and founder of Twist, a party spotlighting the more percussive and swung edges of UK club music. With a deep love for garage, broken beat, and sound system culture, his sets are high-velocity but always nimble, tracing sharp lines between bass-heavy rollers and shuffling steppers.
At midnight, MJK takes the reins. Known for weaving complex rhythmic structures with submerged atmospheres and dubwise detail, they bring a careful, pressure-heavy touch to the decks. Their monthly Rinse FM residency has become essential listening for heads tuned to the cutting edge of futuristic-techno, contemporary bass and experimental club.
Expect sculpted tension, percussive workouts, and dense dance floor hypnosis across the board.
