The XX to close Red Bull Music Academy

After five weeks of some of the most unique musical events London has ever seen, the Red Bull Music Academy brings its residency here to a climactic close with two special shows to celebrate London's diverse musical heritage and it's current crop of genius upstarts.

On Thursday 11th March, 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. Introducing 12x12 at the Scala feat. Roni Size, Peter Hook, Martyn Ware, Jazzie B, DJ Zinc and MJ Cole.

Then Friday, set in the Hearn Street car park in Shoreditch, a monster line up featuring 2 many DJs, Friendly Fires and The XX will shake the foundations of the main room with killer DJ sets, while the second floor will be commandeered by the RBMA Allstars, splicing the biggest anthems of the past five weeks, big farewell ballads, twisted disco choons and more unsound bliss of all sorts.

Over the last five weeks, Red Bull Music Academy has burned its image into the psyche of London club land, bringing four generations of bass culture to the Roundhouse for a traditional Soundclash, introducing the future of 3D clubbing at the Royal Albert Hall, bringing experimental electronic fusion to the Royal Festival Hall and hitting the underground through take overs of core scene spots and nights.

It's a full-on clubbing love in, and you're invited.
