No birthday temper tantrums for Beatcheck
Published Date:
15 May 2008
BEATCHECK is two years old this week, and like all wee nippers of similar ages, the city's only underground dance night is a feisty little monkey!
"If Beatcheck was a kid it wouldn't be content with mum on the stereo and games of musical chairs like the other children, so instead we've thrown the presents out of the pram, cleared the floor and found a breakbeat pioneer to slam in beats, breaks and dirty basslines," those at the helm told City Nights. "That should save everyone from any birthday temper tantrums."
Beatcheck has always prided itself on bringing musical marvels to the fore – Ali B, Freestylers and Beardyman will ring plenty of bells with attendees ... and this week will be no exception.
FreQ Nasty, the New Zealand-raised DJ, producer and pioneer of the breakbeat scene, is flying into the country direct from LA for a mere handful of gigs – including this one on Friday night.
He is a music innovator and to that end will be 'splicing up the floor with cutting edge breaks fused with dubstep, rock, ragga, grime, funk and anything else that comes to hand'.
But Beatcheck don't simply want to give you your musical fill, they want you to have second helpings too, and so FreQ Nasty will be ably assisted by resident roars Gusher and Muff, Anya with Special A,
Relentless, Nicky G, Konnect and Andy Black spinning the goods.
No birthday party is truly complete without jelly either, eh? And so the first 100 punters making it through the Revolution doors can dig in to some nice vodka jelly. Free CDs will be dished out at some point during the night too. But you'll have to take your own party hats.
Running between 9pm and 3am, the only cheap thing about this night is the cost of admission – a top price of a fiver, a low of £3.
