COMING SOON…

The Beep are DJ Smokin Jo & Composer/ Musician Michael Palmer.

The idea behind The Beep is to release big fat dance tracks and to create an exciting live show by performing improvised live electronic music alongside traditional instruments such as guitars and drums as well as performing their own tracks live. Jo and Michael met in March 2010 through mutual friends, Michael a talented musician had always been keen on the idea of playing live alongside a DJ improvising over the music, Jo had just finished her last live project so was also keen to get back to performing her own music live and had always wanted to work with a musician. So the pair teamed up, got in the studio and came up with some hot new tunes with the aim to re creating them live on stage. Jo handles all the digital side of things, running loops, firing sounds, creating effects along with doing live vocals, Michael plays keyboards, lead guitar, bass guitar and just about anything else he can get his hands on. They have an amazing drummer whose nickname is ”MIDI” as he plays so in time with the music. Jo conducts the proceedings, telling the boys when to do certain high and low points. Their musical style is a hybrid of good old house music, funk, electro, tech house and breaks, a real sound clash of styles, which at their live shows tears the roof off.
