It's no surprise that the Monday Social is a club night near and dear to the hearts of many Angelenos. Since Mondays are a quiet night for most venues, and most people in general, it has taken an extra special combination of people, talent and ambiance to create what has become a veritable "institution" within the L.A. dance music scene.
From it's early days at the late great Louis XIV, through it's time at Las Palmas in Hollywood, to it's present location at Nacional, the Monday Social has pulled off nothing less than a show business miracle: an amazing run of twelve years.
Arguably the longest running club night in Los Angeles, the Monday Social's secret to success is the distinct air of non-exclusivity, carefully cultivated by it's creators and resident DJ/promoters, Mick Cole and Freddy Be (known to most as the "Bud Brothers"). With world-renowned DJ's, leftfield groovers and upfront party beats on a top-of-the-line turbo sound system, they combine the sociability and hassle-free vibes of the bar scene with the musical and technical standards associated with clubs.
Over the years the Monday Social has played the intimate host for some of the world’s most famous DJs and producers. The likes of Coldcut, DJ Food, Mixmaster Morris, Fila Brazillia, Rockers Hi Fi, David Holmes, Groove Armada and the Propellerheads were frequent guests behind the decks in the early years as the Bud Brothers pioneered the explosive downtempo scene in Los Angeles. Sander Kleinenberg, Layo & Bushwacka, Danny Howells, Dave Seaman, Elite Force and Lee Burridge have made up the list of talent in recent years as the club has turned up the beats a notch or two.
