A ROLLERSKATING JAM NAMED ‘RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY’:
Kenny Dixon, Jr., Horsemeat Disco
THE RENAISSANCE ROOMS, LONDON
Thursday 4 March, 8pm-2am, ÂŁ10
Kenny Dixon, Jr. AKA iconoclastic Detroit house hero Moodymann, is a massive fan for roller disco culture – and he’ll be bringing with him ten of Detroit’s most notorious four-wheeled dancers to accompany his very special DJ set at South London’s Renaissance Rooms roller rink, with steel-wheel support from the Horsemeat Disco boys. Let’s reiterate: Moodymann DJing a roller disco. In London. If you’re not rushing to by a ticket for this, there’s something wrong with you.

FACT AT THE LOCK: THE RED BULL MUSIC ACADEMY CHAPTER
Very special guests TBA
at THE LOCK TAVERN, LONDON
Sunday 7 March, 3pm-11.30pm
We don’t want to blow our own tuba, but FACT’s bi-monthly parties at The Lock have become the stuff of local legend over the past year or so. After all, it’s not often you get to lose your shit to DJs like Brackles, Gemmy, Cooly G, Untold, Sinden and Darkstar in a Camden boozer, on a bleeding Sunday, without having to pay a penny for the pleasure – is it? We’re teaming up with the Academy for our March instalment, and we’ve secured some very, very special guests to help us make it one to remember. All will be revealed soon…
