Time Out resident djs and bloggers extraordinaire ‘The Beat’ present an evening of forward thinking electronic music split into two parts.

The early part of the evening sees the djs exploring early electronic music including progressive and kraut rock, post-punk, minimal and cold wave. Followed by a more dancefloor friendly mix of chicago and acid house, dark pop and new beat, italo disco and proto house to accompany the latter half of the night.

We also welcome special guest djs OffsetCirlces. An amalgamation of the best things to come out of Southend in the last few years - Offset Festival, Experimental Circle Club and the legendary Junk Club - they will be providing their unique mix of dark disco, minimal techno and brooding electronics.

Time Out resident djs ‘The Beat’ present Defunkt, a new night of forward thinking electronic music charting the path from the adventures in stereo of Silver Apples and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop through musical pioneers such as Manuel Göttsching, Giorgio Moroder, Bobby Orlando, Patrick Cowley, Blake Baxter, Lenny Dee, Carl Craig and Antony ‘Shake’ Shakir to the more recent sounds of Warp, DFA and Border Community.

We’ll be playing sixties exotica, krautrock, post-punk funk, disco, italo, proto-house and past, present and future electronic.
