Dope recording of Beats In Abundance's set at our GET LOW Sunday Sessions at The Lock Tavern.
I'm gonna lay you down with some hard truth. Beats In Abundance are one of the top DJ outfits in London. Heck, probably in the UK. Their vast musical knowledge and irreverent flavour means they throw some of the wildest feel-good parties known to man. They're don't aim for glory, they do it purely for the love of music. Word of mouth does the rest.
They go way back with us, when they reigned supreme on the student clubnight scene in Norwich when Get Low was just starting out. Luke Baines (pictured) and his brother Jesse, armed with just a pair of turntables and a cdj (pre-Serato days) would throw wild nights - a smorgasbord of killer jams, mixing ultra-obscure beats with party anthems and curveballs. And do it in fancy dress. One time they brought their Mum to their clubnight. Why? Because they're badasses.
When I was living in San Francisco for my study year abroad, Luke was working out there and every week we would DJ together for 6 hours straight at a psychodelic bar called Noc Noc on Haight Street. It was dope.
This is the recording of Beats In Abundance's set from our GET LOW Sunday Sessions event at the legendary Lock Tavern in Camden. It's more of a slower bpm vibe, and exactly what we'd want to hear whilst supping our pint and noshing our roast. The event was a hoot, and we got a surprise visit from Annie Mac, Toddla T, Jammer and Jack Beats for Redlight's birthday. Zing!
