Beat Poetry
http://beatpoetrylondon.blogspot.com
The cyber home of the London club night Beat Poetry. Posting mp3s and mixes, discussing what's hot and happening.
We are Alex, Ally and Joss, a record company flunky, a two-bit journo and a film industry loafer respectively. We fucking love music and put on nights at Gramaphone in Spitalfields where we spin electro, hip-hop, reggae, rock, soul, punk, funk and junk.
We love to hear from fellow DJs, bands, labels and promoters so please send any music or flyers that you think we might like to beatpoetryuk@googlemail.com
