This January, Andy C returns to XOYO as the 21st quarterly resident (the first time they’ve ever invited a resident back). The news was revealed earlier this week, and tickets for the opening and closing parties, where Andy will play all night, sold out in less than one minute. Andy has now revealed the line-up of special guest DJs, and MCs, for the new residency, featuring the cream of drum & bass talent – from legends to current heroes, and the future of the scene.
Playing every Friday from 4th January until 29th March, Andy C will take over XOYO’s hallowed DJ booth at the recently renovated club. The perfect space for him to once again demonstrate why he’s one of the world’s best DJs, alongside a slew of handpicked guests. This will be a guaranteed roadblock.
XOYO is where Andy goes back to basics, to nurture the type of intimate London club culture where he cut his teeth. The capital is where he had his very first residency at the age of 16 at Telepathy; it was London where he went on to hold the longest ever running residency at The End, as well as legendary clubs Matter and Fabric, where he played his first all night event.
Andy C’s 2017 residency represented the entire spectrum of drum and bass under XOYO’s roof, attracting multiple generations for an intimate, sweaty affair over 13 consecutive Fridays. Since then, Andy has continued to see his career skyrocket. November 2018 saw Andy play his biggest UK headline show to date, SSE Arena Wembley. The event, Wembley’s Arena’s first ever all night licence, sold out in 3 days, and saw 12,500 fans come together under one roof, for one DJ (Andy is only the second electronic artist to headline the venue).
Now entering its 6th year, the XOYO residency series has seen the likes of Eats Everything, Bicep, Erol Alkan, Simian Mobile Disco, Benji B, Skream, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Flava D, Hunee, The Black Madonna, and, of course, Andy C hold the coveted 3-month residency. And as Hunee’s triumphant residency comes to a close, it’s drawing closer to him passing the baton back to the drum and bass pioneer.
