We Tested Monki on How Well She Really Knows Her Friends

Monki's been one of our favorite DJs for a while now, so the news that a fourth instalment of her Monki and Friends collab-heavy mixtapes was arriving got us pretty giddy. Luckily, the reality lived up to the hype, so now we're listening to it constantly, and it's 100% better than that chocolate you can buy that has bits of cheese and onion crisps in it, which was the last thing we were stoked for.

Next Friday sees her bringing a crate of her mates to Hackney club the Laundry for a party put on by Red Bull studios. To celebrate that, she's put this little mix together for us, and taken part in a game of our choosing. And no, it's not Trivial Pursuit. Or Risk.

Now, we all like to think we know our mates pretty well, right? You'd hope so anyway. You definitely know what your best friend's pet is called don't you? Oxo or Bisto or Kallo or something like that. In the spirit of friendship, we decided to get Moxie and a few of her pals to grill each other on the subjects that really matter.

If you want to find out how right they got it, why not head down to the Laundry next Friday and grab them one by one. Just don't do it while they're DJing…
