Monsta remixes this classic moment from Skream's couch session in Melbourne. Catch some roots of dubstep moments at 12 x 12 at the Scala Thursday 11th March.
About 12 x 12:
For one night only, the Red Bull Music Academy will crystallise London club culture from the last 30 years. 12 seminal anthems. Performed by their 12 heavyweight producers. Playing for 12 minutes each and celebrating those 12 inches of pure black gold that have changed dance music forever.
12x12 will be a performance of a generation, with each producer given 12 minutes to present their genre-defining tune in a unique and electrifying way. At the end of their set, each producer will hand over the controls by highlighting their personal connection to the following performer: bigging up the influence that artist has had on their own musical journey. Each set will be accompanied by a full graphic working by Hexstatic, providing a kaleidoscopic history lesson: personal anecdotes, original flyer artwork and relevant contemporary footage contextualise club culture across eras and genres .
In the last five weeks the Red Bull Music Academy has presented diverse and unique representations of Londons thriving underground music scene. Culture Clash paid tribute to soundsystem culture with a cross-genre soundclash at the Roundhouse. UK and US disco met up in Vauxhall when Horse Meat Disco and the enigmatic Moodymann hosted a roller skating jam at the Rennaissance Rooms. The future of clubbing was glimpsed at a 3D Soundclash deep beneath the Royal Albert Hall.
Now the Academy offers a celebration of history and backbone of Londons club culture, by bringing together a dozen heroes who have defined and re-defined the scene for a quarter of a century.
War Child Music Director Ben Knowles said, "We are delighted that the qRed Bull Music Academy has chosen War Child to benefit from this amazing evening, with 12 of the most iconic names who have shaped music today. They are legends who have influenced the lives of young people in clubs everywhere for decades, and now they will have a real impact on children in the world's war zones today. It's going to be an historic night."
