New Album ~ ‘Contraption v.II’ by Beats Antique

Posted on by


FromBeats Antique

“Growing like wildfire under the canopy of live electronica and experimental world fusion music, the acclaimed musical trio Beats Antique launch their fall tour to finish out 2012 in support of their upcoming release,Contraption Vol. 2, a new cinematic, orchestral, and seductively bass heavy EP.
As the trio masterfully merges modern technology, live instrumentation, brass bands, string quartets, glitch, and dubstep, Beats Antique’s highly anticipated new album explores another octave of musings first begun in 2007 with Tribal Derivations. Five years, four albums and two EPs later, Contraption Vol. 2 – arrived this Fall 2012 – to round out the collection of over 80 songs released.
Beats Antique will inspire their fans with a raw, animalistic musical event that blurs the lines between the provocative, the spiritual, and the artistic while still maintaining allegiance to the muses of class, beauty. The tour, “Animale Mechanique”, will cover 35 locations in North America and end with a once-in-a lifetime show in front of The Pyramids in Egypt on the Winter Solstice.

Having already enchanted audiences at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Red Rocks and beyond, Beats Antique’s performances blend electro-acoustic breakbeats set to a Bollywood bass-circus stage show, with the sophistication of top hats receding to a sea of animal masks and wild feather headdresses. Their ability to create a balance between artist and audience even before the curtain rises creates a total escape both through live performance and the album experience that leaves critics and fans reeling alike.
Consider “Allure,” the opening track on Contraption Vol. 2 – you are instantly transplanted to an Art Nouveau Speakeasy. The truth in the music is told as the acoustic and electronic indulge in one another until they can’t be told apart. This is best observed after listening to the purely acoustic, Doo Wap inspired “Crooked Muse”, featuring the soulful voice and songwriting of long-time collaborator, LYNX .
The journey that led to Beats Antique was a winding and twisted path from the West Coast and eclectic underground of San Francisco’s performance art scene, to the ancient trade routes of the silk road. In this modern incarnation, the musical alliance of producers David Satori and Tommy Cappel is inspired and emphasized by their collaborative partnership with world-renowned belly dance performer and music producer Zoe Jakes.
David Satori studied at California Institute of the Arts and Tommy Cappel studied at Berklee School of Music before they ventured to locations such as Bali, West Africa, and Serbia. With extensive backgrounds in multicultural music production, and the passports to prove it, Satori and Cappel command the spectrum of live and digital instrumentation with skills born from Traditional Folk to Hip Hop and old school Jazz.
Zoe Jakes adds a third dimension as the diverse and disciplinary dance counterpart to Beats Antique’s sound. Jakes has worked with two major dance troupes, including Miles Copeland’s Bellydance Superstars and Rachel Brice’s Indigo Belly Dance Company, and is a student of ballet and contemporary techniques.
Beats Antique is best imagined as an innovative creature built from the cumulative heritage of the world’s music chasing its tail. However vivid that image, when a marching band groove crashes into bluesy folk chords only to be accompanied by glitchy electronic beats and Middle Eastern melodies, you’ll still be surprised and taken to a place you hadn’t previously known existed.”

Strange Arrangement Going On Hiatus Following Nov. 21st Park West Show

Posted on by
“The last 5 years has found Strange Arrangement traversing the Midwest and the country sharing our brand of jam funk to anyone that would stop and listen. The list of people to thank is too long to mention everyone individually, as it seems everyone we have come across wants to give a helping hand or lend us a kind word for doing what we do. 
That being said, after our show at the Park West on November 21st, Strange is planning to take the Winter/Spring off to recharge our batteries. Time has become an issue for all of us with two of our members children growing up more and more every day, day jobs, school work needing attention, mortgages to be paid, and other side projects beginning to take shape. Being able to find time to catch our breath, write new songs, and keep things fresh for our fans has become a daunting issue. We plan on taking this time off to reinvent ourselves in order to hit the road again next Summer and beyond to send Strange Arrangement to the next level musically, spiritually, and professionally.
This is by no means the end of Strange, this is an opportunity to breathe new life into and energize what we have already accomplished. Words can’t begin to describe our love and gratitude for the thousands of Strangers out there that have helped support us in immeasurable and incalculable ways. It sounds cliche, but there really is no way we could have lasted as long as we have without the sturdy backbone of love, laughs, and generosity by everyone who ever came to see us, bought a CD, played us on the radio, or introduced us to their friends or loved ones. 
This is not the end of Strange, this is hopefully the beginning of a new chapter that will take us even further across this great country and to places we never imagined. We still have two months of shows left before this hiatus, so please check out strangement.com to see if/when we are in your neck of the woods again, and lets make these last shows for awhile count. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we’ll see you soon!”
