BEAM - Bristol to Brooklyn CMJ Showcase

BEAM - Bristol to Brooklyn CMJ Showcase

On 16th October 2012, BEAM (Bristol Exchange of Arts & Music) are bringing a slice of Bristol’s burgeoning street level art, music and film to Brooklyn. BEAM will be running a day and night event at the Knitting Factory, featuring world renowned street artists Inkie and Nick Walker, music from Scott Hendy (Malachai/Boca 45), legendary Bristol DJ and long time Brooklyn resident DJ Milo, plus short film screenings, visuals and art to give a flavour of the creative output from Bristol, UK. There will also be representation from Brooklyn in the form of art, DJs and live music, to add a mix of flavours from these two fair, like minded cities.

Much like Brooklyn itself, the city of Bristol has long been regarded as a place of innovation, radical creativity, and independence. From the street art of Banksy, Nick Walker, Will Barras, Inkie to the groundbreaking, distinctive and original music of Massive Attack and Portishead, and the de-facto ‘home’ of movements such as dubstep and drum & bass, this is all drawn from a multi cultural and fiercely independent city. Bristol is recognised the world over as a leader, not a follower in original and underground culture.

Archie Pelago

Archie Pelago is a live/production outfit emphasizing the fusion of instrumental textures and experimental beat landscapes. The Brooklyn-based trio is comprised of Cosmo D (cello/ableton wizard), Kroba (sax/fx) and Hirshi (dj/trumpet). Joining forces in late summer of 2010, Archie Pelago has been committed to producing powerful tunes inspired by contemporary bass music culture. Combining an electronic method with their unmistakable chamber approach, when the three guys get in a room together, magic happens-- with their productions and groundbreaking live experience. Having played with the likes of Shigeto, Ben UFO, Oneman, XI, Wheez-ie and more, Archie's unique live set has been praised for balancing their original music with live remixes of their favorite dance jams. Reeling off of their recent single released on Car Crash Set, Archie is poised to be dropping several original releases and remixes in 2012 including their unmistakable re-work of Distal and HxdB's "Booyant", out in January on the venerable Tectonic imprint.

Ursula 1000

ESL Music's URSULA 1000 is the alter ego of Brooklyn-based producer/ DJ Alex Gimeno. His albums and mix sessions have taken on a broad scope of retro-tinged spy grooves, bumping latin disco funk, electro go go, sleazy glam rock and he never stops evolving. His collaborations with various artists brought forth sheer magic on the three albums, The Now Sound of Ursula 1000, Kinda' Kinky and Here Comes Tomorrow.
