Beatboxer in town I was well interested. The line up consisted of seven acts including:
I found out about this night literally on the day of it happening and not realizing how much there was to take in I had no time to prepare. I tried gathering as much info as I could to give the dance scene the best write-up I could. Coz from what I’ve seen this gig looks like it could be a way of life. So with the Revs bar being the only real underground club in Milton Keynes and talking to fans I know there is a big cry-out for this type of genre. People would be more than happy if there was a regular occurrence of Beatcheck but sadly at the moment bods can only look forward to Beatcheck playing host every third Friday of the month.
I’ve done a little research on Beardyman and from what I’ve gathered, is really big right now. So I thought it was reasonable with it being four pound at the door. Darren Foreman born 14-5-82 alias BeardyMan the beatboxer/DJ from Brighton won the UK beatboxing championship 2006/07 being the first ever to win two championships in a row. Called Beardyman because when he first kicked off had a beard. He has gigged and recorded with Klum-Z-Tung, together in 2005 presenting Get Lucky TV’s 'The Freestyle Show”. He has done a fair bit of charity and TV work and in 08 appeared as a YouTube Hero. The man has supported Groove Armada and has worked alongside people such as Andy C, Killa kela, Grooverider, Jazzy Jeff and Shy FX to name but a few.
So yeah! a big act at Revolutions small bar. This bar surprisingly is a lot bigger than what it seems. A bit like Doctor Who’s Tardis, making room if full for about nine hundred heads. Of this type of genre Revs has been host to previous guests including: Ali B, The Freestylers, Stanton warriors, Fingerlickin' Records, The Breakfastaz, Soul of man, A Skillz, The Drumattic Twins and other DJs on Beatcheck’s list. There were people of all ages present with an average age range of about 20-25 plus. For a young bunch I found the crowd to be very friendly. Revolution plays host not only to Beatcheck but other showcases as well. Look out for future events.
impressive (little being the appropriate word) DJ. I'm not sure what she was doing on the decks but whatever it was, she was doing it right coz it sounded excellent, this being confirmed by just how nuts the crowd were going. With the downstairs having no dancefloor the whole bar was bouncing with male and females alike. Beardyman started the night off with his Beatboxing act carried on later with his vocal talents being accompanied by Breakbeat. Downstairs The Beard roared with Little Jo filling in on his breaks. I didn’t notice anyone else sharing the decks so I presume the rest of the acts played upstairs, I was told Konnect played downstairs. I briefly went up to the second floor where like below the crowd was pumping. I have to admit as I’ve already said the music was havin-it. I was there just to take some photos and try to get an interview but found myself dancing along side everyone else.Contact us
