Monophonic presents: Saint Ludo

Next Friday, March 13th, the seafront arches are seeing a bit of a shift in energy as Monophonic takes over Quarters. For those who have spent years navigating Brighton’s nightlife, this venue at 187-193 Kings Road carries a lot of history, having previously housed both Zap and The Arch. The night is centered around the Brighton debut of Saint Ludo, a DJ who has been making a name for herself through features in Mixmag and Dazed. Her style is rooted in heavy bass and forward-thinking UK club music, and the event is being framed as a "no-filler" experience, focusing entirely on the music rather than the usual commercial club tropes.

The programming for the night leans heavily into the underground, moving through various shades of the UK scene. Joining the headliner is ODF, also known as Oliver De Friend, who brings a mix of house and UK garage to the booth. There is also a back-to-back session scheduled between Steady and ESPERANZA, which looks to bridge the gaps between dubstep, grime, and techno. To round out the sounds, Monophonic resident BUTU will be playing a set focused on 140, UKG, and grime. It’s a cohesive lineup for anyone who appreciates the technical side of UK bass and jungle, rather than the more mainstream electronic offerings often found on the seafront.

The doors at Quarters open at 23:00 GMT, and the music is expected to run late into the night. Because the venue is tucked into those historic arches, it provides a specific acoustic and atmospheric backdrop that suits this kind of bass-heavy lineup. Tickets are already being handled through platforms like See Tickets and the venue's own site, though the final entry price is still marked as 'TBC' on some official listings. It’s a straightforward, music-first event designed for people who are genuinely into the UK’s underground club culture and want to see how Saint Ludo translates her high-energy sets to a Brighton crowd for the first time.
