Monki & Friends EP 3

This year marks the third instalment of Red Bull Studios’ collaboration with BBC Radio 1 DJ Monki, who is proud to present the latest volume in her ‘Monki & Friends’ EP series. Curated by Monki herself, ‘Monki & Friends EP 3’ saw a total of 12 artists come together to record a series of tracks at Red Bull Studios, London exclusively for the project, which will be available to download for free via monkiandfriends.redbullstudios.com from August 10th.

Featuring a host of both established and up-and-coming artists including Applebottom, Mensah, SG Lewis, Woz and talented young vocalist Zak Abel, the EP reflects the colourful, genre-blurring world of contemporary UK dance music. From Gotsome x Tazer’s club-facing ‘If You Wanna’ to the Wayward X Apres’ bubbling ‘Let Me Tell You’, this an EP of tangible vibrancy and colour. Zak Abel’s soulful rendition on the excellent ‘Higher Ground’ is also a highlight while the glossy, HD feel of Lxury x Billie Black’s  ‘Keep Running’ nods to Monki’s ear for taste-making – a role she has perfected through her weekly show on BBC Radio 1 / 1Xtra.

To celebrate the release of the EP, Monki and Red Bull Studios are also pleased to announce a launch party at Dalston Roof Park on August 13th, where Monki and her EP pals will be playing back-to-back from 7-10.30pm.
