Mr Beatnick is one of the UK’s bonafide musical diamonds in the rough. He is one of few hip-hop producers to newly enter the house and techno fold in the past few years and has really turned heads. During the late 00’s he released on labels like Far Out and Altered Vibes, and contributed remixes for artists like Azymuth and Atjazz , but it was the epic, string-laden house jam “Synthetes”, released on Semtek ’s “Don’t Be Afraid” imprint in 2011

Mr Beatnick is one of the UK’s bonafide musical diamonds in the rough. He is one of few hip-hop producers to newly enter the house and techno fold in the past few years and has really turned heads. During the late 00’s he released on labels like Far Out and Altered Vibes, and contributed remixes for artists like Azymuth and Atjazz , but it was the epic, string-laden house jam “Synthetes”, released on Semtek ’s “Don’t Be Afraid” imprint in 2011, which proved the breakthrough moment for this talented beat-smith, receiving widespread critical acclaim and regular support from djs as diverse as Gilles Peterson, Scuba, Jamie XX, Paul Woolford and Deetron. The follow up "Sun Goddess" created a similar stir in summer 2012, and this year he completed his house trilogy to great effect with the off-kilter sounds of the “Savannah” EP. An eclectic and forward-thinking dj, Mr Beatnick’s sets tread a frenetic and diverse path, weaving in influences across the house, techno, hip-hop, and UK underground scenes. His monthly show on NTS radio is a cult favourite amongst the hip and happening London cognescenti.
