Secret Wars Semi Final Nov 1st



Semi Finals this sunday @ The Rainbow from 7pm Skeleton will be holding down for The Beat Suite and Secret Wars resident
looking forward to this..

Show 28/10/09

The Beat Suite last night was fully enjoyable, big thankyou's to MC Chaffinch & Lurch who provided a fine selection of fresh hiphop tracks and interview, it was great to have some of the Open Beats crew in the studio.. Also big up Roskoe [Dubstation] for battling Beat suite resident Skeleton, Roskoe was repping dubstep & Skeleton was dropping breaks.. Breaks/ Skeleton clinched it this time round in a tight and merciless [friendly] battle..

Dolhasz also played a sick collection of new glitch-hop and dubstep around the features however unfortunatly the show didn't records due to a server error or something like that.. so well gutted but we can't hear it back.. anyway cya next week.. peace

Skeleton & Dolhasz

The Beat Suite host The Mr Elephant Radio Show once again!

Just like last week - The Beat Suite has been invited by Marc Reck to host the Mr Elephant Radio Show on RhubarbRadio.com . Once again - it was a wicked experience, especially due to the lovely quiet atmosphere at The Custard Factory. As you've probably heard by now, The Beat Suite has to battle with a massive rave every Wednesday now, and having a quiet studio makes a real difference.
Also, we apologise, but due to some server problems last week, the listen again from the show Dolhasz did with Aaron will not be available for listen again. We're all gutted, but nevertheless we can't do anything about it. Sorry!

Party Rockin Mammals and Cinephonic

The Beat Suite held it down at The Bull's Head, Moseley this gone Friday, alongside Mr Elephant's finest Marc Reck and VJ Blendstate and DJ Lopan from Sumo Soundsystem.
The vibe of the night was amazing, all thanks to the crowd, which was well up for a rave!

We'd like to thank all the supporters and everyone involved in any way and at the same time - we'd like to extend an invitation to Cinephonic #3. That's happening at The Hare & Hounds next Saturday. We will be playing alongside the legend that is Automaton (who's been on our show before) so if you're coming down, expect some head-nodders comin your way.

Big thankyou to Subcitizen from Resistor Records 01/10/09

A big thankyou to Subcitizen who delivered a series of short mixes in various styles of electronica this week on The Beat Suite. It was a wicked selection of tunes that covered a serious amount of ground, spaning : electro/ dubstep/ IDM/ glitched up ragga and more. He also gave a quality interview giving an insight into the electronic world of Resistor Records.. Big up! Unfortunalty Dolhasz was ill and couldn't make it down to the studio so Skeleton held it down this week but never fear, Dolhasz will be back in the studio next week.. Peace
