Beam Up trawls the rich seas of traditional musics of the planet and beams down messages from the future to compose. Beam Up plays bass, trumpet, percussion, analogue bleepers, software, recorded music and machines.

Biggest influences are dub and the Jamaican soundsystems purpose built to project this ancient-futuristic sound! Beam Up grew up inna England and first heard reggae on the radio in the 70s in tandem with the Clash, Kraftwerk & Jean Michel Jarre.

Since then Beam Up has absorbed sounds across the globe - having been infatuated with the Balkans since the turn of the Century. Recently he’s remixed Hava Nagila in a Drum & Bass style + dubbed out Austrian ‘s balkan reggae influenced tunes. Even Italian outfit Municipale Balcanica have been digested, reconstructed and beefed up.

Recent studio excursions have come out on Australia’s Little Rascal Records (Suuluup) and Japan’s Soul Fire label (Giddyviddy).

Other electrodub tunes are being brewed fresh in 2008
