#MUSICMONDAY Sound of the Week: BEATNIK ft. TYSON - 'BYE BYE' (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

'Bye Bye' by Beatnik feat. Tyson is enough of a badarse anthem to make me wish I had a working set of legs to run me over to the gym, wheelchair-free, for some serious squattage. Exactly what you need to get you 'into the zone', the Drum'n'Bass beat is genuinely hypnotic, and singer Tyson’s vocals are uplifting enough to take you through any set of reps that the most hardcore of personal trainers dare bestow upon you.

With a banging video to match – lookout for DJ Nikki's 'Ladies Touch'; from some killer sexy heels on the turntable, to her trademark crystallised headphones, to her beloved pet pup Purdey. It’s just as well Tyson is dressed in head to toe black; that colourful, turnt up energy would clash with any bright colour. As for the loveable teddy bear that is Statis Beatnik, he holds up the men’s corner for the GQ Style section.

Now GO - Run this into your collections IMMEDIATELY!

Until the next...

#MusicMonday #ESPspotlightNews: BEATNIK BEATS!

Did you go to Wyld last Wednesday for the start of the new Beatnik residency? I told you they'd make you dance your feet off, didn't I? I told you they were gonna hurt, didn't I? Well, if sadly you were unable to attend, or for some strange reason, just plain didn't believe me, then you can rectify your shocking behaviour this week...

If, like Moi, you have to be content with living vicariously through others, the very least you could do, is play a Beatnik mix as the soundtrack to your time of woe - hey, it works for me!

#MusicMonday News Headlines: BEATNIK Are Baaack! Jay & Bey Go 'On The Run' - Will You Give #Chase?

My favourite mixing duo are back with a BRAND NEW residency at the prestigious Wyld Bar in Leicester Square, as of Wednesday, 30 April - that's two days away for your midweek dancing feet.

Make sure you catch them sooner rather than later, because believe me, if you haven't caught a Beatnik set, then you haven't had the best night out in London (also, don't get too attached to your feet - you're going to dance them right off the end of your legs).

The music will, of course, be excellent, that's a given; but more than anything, a Beatnik night means one for the creatives; the only thing monochrome about this sibling sound system duo, is their rather nice new flyer for the night. And did I happen to mention that it's also FREE ENTRY? So what have you got to lose? It's worth a slightly sluggish Thursday - trust me when I tell you this, I speak from experience.

You have been warned...

Will YOU Give #Chase?

Just when you thought they couldn't possibly milk any more money out of the concert-going public, JayZ and the Mrs have revived their Bonnie & Clyde personas, and plan to take 'the #Chase' #OnTheRun this Summer, for those who actually want to follow them across North America... Tickets go on sale at 10AM (EST) tomorrow (April 29th).

I s'pose we all better prepare for the promo steam train, it's about to roll through, well, The Globe...*sigh*.
