Time Capsule Takeover: Beauty & The Beat

For almost two decades, Beauty & The Beat (BATB) has been one of East London's best-kept secrets, yet at the same time, a cornerstone of London’s underground music scene, cultivating a unique space for sonic exploration. Founded by DJs Jeremy, Cyril, and Cedric, BATB is revered as one of the original audiophile parties, a precursor to the high-fidelity sound systems that have surged in popularity over the last decade. Their dedication to delivering impeccable sound quality has shaped the experience, evolving alongside advancements in audiophile equipment to maintain a deep connection between music and its audience.

But BATB isn’t just about sound. Rejecting the label "eclectic," the trio describe their approach as “Deep Psychedelic Dance Music,” rooted in Afro Psychedelia Tradition but extending far beyond. Their selections are guided by a strong aesthetic vision, offering a cohesive, immersive journey through sound. In this special 2-hour show, they discuss the origins of the party, the secret to its longevity, and how it’s influenced London’s music communities and beyond. Alongside the interview, expect a deeply curated music journey, as always, crafted with care and intention.
