Dekmantel Podcast 092 - Mr Beatnick

Mr Beatnik is a proud musical boffin. As well as being a writer able to talk at length about Tangerine Dream, the history of hip hop or the influence of George Duke, he is also boss of his own cult label Mythstery Records. On top of this he is a DJ that spans all sounds and scenes with real knowledge, and as a producer the last ten years have proven him to be a master of both classy house and direct techno. From the sumptuous strings of Synthetes to the elegant and emotive melodies of his Savannah EP via more recent forays into acid and techno, his work most often comes on Don’t Be Afraid and never repeats the same trick twice. Beatnik also hosts an NTS show that mixes up dusty disco, brand new music, spiritual jazz and more, and it is that sort of widescreen vision he displays for us on out latest podcast.
