About Me


Blunt Beats has been broadcasting web-radio since 2001 every wed 8pm-12am (uk)www.level-1.org.uk.Bluntbeats is a colective of 5 dj's with various tastes in music & many years experience between them. They play right across musical genres, and are big fans of breaks, hooks, and basslines....i.e jazz, d+b, breakbeat, funk, chilled beats, old soul, nu-jazz, hip-hop, & all forms of reggae; ska, roots, dancehall, dub, rocksteady, digi-dub. As we ourselves say "down and dirty beats, rough around the edges, for those old enough to know better" :)
Blunt Beats Also has a side project UPS Urban Picnic Sounds, this is where we take over a corner of rhthms of the world festival (bancroft gdns) were we colaborate with other guests to bring you a picnic soundsystem, this year the dates are sat 15 & sun 16 july 2006.

Something we love. Something we do every day, and have done for years, and its something, in essence, that brought us all together. We're from a variety of musical backgrounds. It's our musical diversity which makes us what we are -old school acid house veterans, indie DJs, junglist children, hip-hop heads and reggae selectas all came together bringing their northern soul, funk and jazzy beats along for the ride.At the end of the day, we all have one thing in common. The groove. The desire to pull the right cuts from the crates at the right time, and make the heads nod and feet move.
