XOYO, London’s iconic Shoreditch nightclub, is kicking off January 2025 with an unmissable lineup of bass-driven Friday night events. From jungle to drum ’n’ bass and bassline, this month’s programme is set to obliterate any trace of the January Blues. Highlights include Ray Keith: All Night Long (10 Jan), House of Girls Next Door (17 Jan), and MC Flux: 35 Years Deep (24 Jan).
Dread Recordings boss and drum ’n’ bass legend Ray Keith is gearing up for a monumental five-hour set, accompanied by MCs Moose & Juiceman. Reflecting on his upcoming performance, Ray shared: “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.”
Mid-month, XOYO welcomes Girls Next Door for their debut 360-degree show, offering an immersive experience alongside Euphonique, Katalyst, and Klumzykhemist. Known for their dynamic performances, DJ skills, and stellar vocals, the trio – Maddy V, Ms Pink, and Mila Falls – have taken crowds by storm at festivals like Boomtown and Glastonbury.
Closing out the month is a jubilant celebration of jungle and d’n’b as MC Flux marks 35 years in the game. A titan of the scene and a favourite of Fabio & Grooverider, Goldie, and Randall (RIP), Flux will be joined by legends such as Sweetpea, DJ Flight, DJ Storm, 2 Bad Mice, T>1, and Doc Scott. With two rooms of unrelenting energy, this promises to be a night for the history books.
Curated by independent promoters Weird Science and in collaboration with LWE, XOYO continues to shine as one of London’s premier clubbing spaces. With a capacity of just 800, it offers an intimate vibe that’s hard to beat.
Tickets start at £10 plus booking fees. For more information, visit xoyo.co.uk and follow @xoyolondon for updates.
