SECURE SHOPPING
If there’s one thing that comes through about Mr Beatnick’s productions, it’s the sheer musicality of it. It’s been a slow and steady ride getting to know the artist, not least on this most recent trio of Synthetes releases for Don’t Be Afraid which have crawled out one a year and culminate in this latest EP. With very little else to listen to in between times, it actually makes for a nice change being able to sit back and reflect on the select tracks that have made it out into the public consciousness, compared to the whirlwind release schedule many labels and artists seem to embrace.

Mr Beatnick – Sun Goddess review
by Juno Plus on 26.03.2012 at 13:10pmThere was a time when London DJ/producer Mr Beatnick could have been classed as a “jobbing beatmaker” – a funk, jazz and hip-hop digger with a passion for loose, off-kilter rhythms, soulful vocals and the possibilities of vintage synthesizers and dusty drum machines.
