Dance music has long been tangled up with protest. And this weekend, some of the UK’s greatest DJs and club collectives are rallying together to soundtrack the Together Against The Far Right demonstration in central London. R3 Soundsystem (named after the three R’s: Reject, Revolt and Resist) has put together a stacked lineup of electronic musicians to take to the stage in Trafalgar Square for House Against Hate. It includes Ben UFO, Shygirl, Gideön feat Jessie Ware, Body Movements, Daniel Avery, Katy B, Horse Meat Disco, DJ Paulette, L-Vis 1990 and many, many more.
