Beatabet will be producing a number of live studio sessions to showcase the bands affiliated with our fledgling record label. The first of these features Man Ray Sky, who recently appeared on BBC Introducing-The South Radio. Here you can see them performing “I” and “Ghosts of Industry” from their debut Beatabet release “Vessels”, plus an exclusive version of a new track “Keep Fighting”.
As you may have heard, Beatabet is stepping up a gear to bring you the most spectacular Metahub to date… www.themetahub.com
We’re privileged to have been co-commissioned by Nuit Blanche White Night and supported by the EU Interreg 4 (Channel) programme as well as Arts Council England. Working closely with Brighton & Hove City Council and collaborating with the Metahub Association, PiP, Quadratura, Phoenix Brighton, C3 and Brightonart, our combined forces will create a large-scale interactive installation that will illuminate the cultural life of our cities.
The Metahub will feature as a centrepiece to both the Amiens Nuit Blanche (France) on the 15th October and Brighton White Night on 29th October, connecting festival venues by streaming live video footage into the Metahub and projecting it onto an outdoor sculpture. Video mapping will transform every face of the sculpture’s cubes into a multitude of projection screens, emanating the sights and sounds created by many of the wonderful artists involved in Nuit Blanche White Night.
As well as live streams, we are encouraging the public to share their experience of the festival and help create content for the sculpture. Anyone can upload their own videos, photos or sound-bites to the Metahub, straight from your smartphone on the night, or at a workstation inside Jubilee Library.
Follow the Metahub on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with the latest info. See you there!
We’re glad to announce that we’ll have our very own tent at Playgroup Festival this year. Full of musical wonderment, visual delight and a Beatabet performance troupe including the Lady of the Manor, Fitness Focus and David McWizard, the Beatabet tent will be somewhere to come when you fancy something a little bit different. The festival runs from 5-7th August in a beautiful location halfway between Brighton and London. For more information and tickets visit the website.
Beatabet presents an intimate night of electronic music in St Andrews Church.
Tim Didymus, composer, producer and sonic artist will do a performance of his composition using glasses spinning on turntables. Truly serene.
Beatabet’s very own Officer 82 woo with atmospheres and lullabies that’ll leave you in a dream like state, to be followed by a special drum-less set from the riotous Brighton based electro-rock-party legends AK/DK.
A special night, not to be missed!!
PRICE £5
(INCLUDING A COMPLIMENTARY GLASS OF WINE – HOW SOPHISTICATED!)
Kicking off our 2011 releases, Beatabet’s much anticipated PU$$Y SHOW has finally arrived. A raucous electro-hop dancefloor banger produced by the man named Dave The Machine, featuring the lyrical onslaught of vocal maestros Bunty and MC Fay-Zee.
Brace yourselves…
The track is downloadable from HERE, name your price and support Beatabet to be able to continue doing what we do.
Directed by Kassia Zermon and Alex Forster, the music video was shot in the back streets of Brighton where the collective is based. 90′s rude-girls and boys strutting their stuff in string vests and shell suits… what a combo meal!
Thanks for all your support. Don’t forget, Beatabet are putting on a night at St. Andrews Church this Friday 17th June with special performances by AK/DK, Officer82 and Tim Didymus. Check out the event page.
