Monica
Monica is a Brighton based DJ duo, Owen Griffiths & Luke Folkes, who specialise in selecting the finest Deep house and Techno tunes with the occasional sprinkle of Disco glitter. The guys have been partying on the music scene since they were teenagers and their musical tastes brought them invariably together two years ago where they then decided to form Monica. They launched their new brand on Brightons best underground music station – Codesouth FM and have held down the weekly Monday evening show ever since.
They have been regular guest DJs for big local events in Brighton for the likes of Nightshift Records, Missing People, This Is and most recently the infamous Berlin-Brighton. Although fairly fresh to Brighton crowds, they have already made a substantial imprint on the local music scene with very positive feedback over mixes and sets they have dropped, from both promoters & other DJ’s, as well as, more importantly, the party crowds themselves.
As a brand, Monica are likeable, memorable and confident. They regularly select music that sits just outside the “norm” of the Brighton music scene, but play it with passion so that people respond well to it. You will always find the two of them in the crowd after sets getting amongst the ravers, as that’s where they see themselves – just sometimes with the luxury of also selecting the music. The guys simply enjoy spreading their love for music with as many people as possible who share that same affection for it as they clearly do.
