The CoachellAltDelight series will put focus on the low key Coachella
artists that we at C+A+D feel like you should know about.
Less than a week till we’re all together!
I’ve heard stories, myths, legends about the UK beat boxer that no one would challenge. The man who could recreate any song with nothing but a synth, kaoss pads, and his vocal chords. He is Beardyman: the most musically talented and innovative beatsmith in the world. The man is so good, he’s the only person to ever win the UK Beat Box Championships two years in a row (’06-’07). In 2008, no one wanted to go against him. The board refused to let him enter that year, so he took a seat as one of the judges. Beardyman can really do it all. My friends and I watched his hour long, live YouTube set from the Edinburgh Comedy Festival and this guy is an absolute thrill. He works off the crowd and ensues lots of laughs and inSANE live musical creations. If you want a show…do NOT miss Beardyman on Friday.
If you can’t make it on Friday, he’s playing tonight for $5 (by RSVP at theloftrsvp@dimmak.com) in LA at Dim Mak Studios with Style of Eye. Style of Eye is one of my favorite progressive house DJ’s, so this $5 deal is a f*ckin steal.

In this mix he recreates a shit ton of songs like A Tribe Called Quest’s “Can I Kick It?” and Cee Lo Green’s “Forget You” live in the BBC studios. Absolutely mad.
