Monki To Helm Fabriclive 81
BBC Radio 1 resident's contribution to the venerable mix series to come out next month
London jock Lucy Monkman (a.k.a. Monki) has been tapped to mix Fabriclive 81. Monkman initially made her name on radio rather than in clubs, moving up the ranks of local and online stations to a three-year residency on Rinse FM and now her own show on BBC Radio 1. Her Fabriclive mix is bookended by old-school classics by FPI Project and Golden Girls, features exclusives from bass music producers Mella Dee and Bot & Tony Quattro, and gets a housey tint via tracks from the likes of Danny Daze & 214, DJ Haus and Adesse Versions. “Fabriclive 81 definitely represents my style,” she explains. “High energy with some breaks in there to catch your breath. Everything has a groove.”
Track snippets can be heard over at the Fabric website now, and there will be a launch party at the London club on May 1, for which Monki will be joined by Melé, Cause & Affect, Mickey Pearce, Mella Dee, Champion and Toyc B2B Zulu. Fabriclive 81 will get its full release on May 18; ahead of that we’ve included the artwork and full tracklist below.
