57 Jermyn Street
I get alot of messages from people who used to come to my legendary club night @ 57 Jermyn Street, London from 1999-2002.
We were nominated for club awards, but who cares about awards? More important than that, 57 was the best party you could hope to go to. We were as famous for who we turned away as who we let in..This club will go down in history. My friends Liz Mendez, Karen Gilbert & I captured a moment in time...If you were a true regular- you know what Im talking about. I ALWAYS wanna hear from you guys.
Much Love
NIKKI xx

BEATNIK MUSIC
BEATNIK IS THE NEW BRITISH SOUND
Beatnik is a band made up of writer/producer siblings Dj NIKKI & STATIS. Nikki and Statis are both internationally renowned DJ's in their own right. They have worked together writing, producing & appearing on tracks for fashion shows, corporate awards and television and have produced remixes for commercial release. They have now focused their energies on their own groundbreaking sound.
The combined styles of the duo fuse to make what could only be described as a British Urban White Stripes. The overall sound is a fusion of Hip-hop and Breakbeat drum tracks mixed with rock style riffs and electro sounds. Add to this vocals ranging from punk influenced raps to soulful R&B hooks and the final mix is a combination of wonderful originality that fuses to become a combination of like Johnny Lydon and Slick Rick's understandably perverted lovechild.
