Beats Antique:



Beats Antique combines the sounds of the Middle East with the styles of hip-hop, brass band, downtempo, glitch and dubstep in a new collage of music that is mixed and broken down with clever breakbeats for an adept international flair. Beats Antique is producing an un-charted style of music by adding live horns, accordion, glockenspiel, viola, string quartets, kalimba, clarinet and various unusual instruments to their big beat arrangements.

lespecial:



lespecial approaches their live sets with a scat like spirit of spontaneity and improvisation blended with a tight compositional blend of dirtyfunkhop. With their rhythmically driven sounds drawing on influences from all over the musical spectrum (les claypool/radiohead/j-dilla), they forge a connection with the audience and create a collective atmosphere
