About the Event
Reconnect: No Requests celebrates the art of DJing, music, and storytelling in an intimate setting. To launch this exciting new series, we’re thrilled to bring you two of the most innovative forces in music: Complexion and Vanessa Maria.
This event is where music, meaningful conversation, and connection intersect to create a signature Reconnect experience.
An Unmissable Q&A Panel Conversation
For the first time, Complexion and Vanessa Maria will come together for a live panel conversation.
Complexion, the visionary behind the globally respected Future Beats Show, is a pioneering force in the next wave of music culture. Known for his genre-blurring sets and boundary-pushing curation, he’s built a loyal worldwide following by championing emerging sounds that sit between R&B, electronic, hip hop, and beyond.
With a reputation for taste-making well ahead of the curve, Complexion has collaborated with cultural giants including Marvel, BBC 1Xtra, and Boiler Room, bringing his signature sonic aesthetic to audiences across continents. Whether behind the decks or the mic, he crafts immersive journeys that don’t just entertain, they redefine how we experience music.
Vanessa Maria is more than a DJ — she’s a cultural force shaping the sound of a new generation. As a broadcaster on Foundation FM and Kiss FM, and host with Resident Advisor, Vanessa has established herself as a powerful voice within UK music, spotlighting underrepresented talent while breaking boundaries on air and in the club.
Her electrifying sets are a bold fusion of underground UK sounds, global club rhythms, and the kind of energy that fills dance floors with intention and joy. From Boiler Room to Fabric, Glastonbury’s Nia Archives Takeover, All Points East, and a viral set at Tate Lates, Vanessa has made her mark on some of the most iconic stages in the scene.
Recognised with the Limitless Black Influence Award 2023 and named in GUAP’s 30 Under 30 Blacklist, she continues to use her platform to champion inclusivity, representation, and innovation in music culture — all while keeping the crowd moving.
This interactive session will delve into their journeys, creative processes, and what drives them as pioneers in the music industry. You will also have the opportunity to ask burning questions, making this an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Following the panel, Complexion and Vanessa Maria will perform exclusive sets, bringing their unique styles to the dance floor. Expect a masterclass in storytelling through music as they curate genre-defying mixes that blend the best of R&B, electronic, hip-hop, and UK club classics.
