I like breaks and I like em chunky!

About Me

Beats Persona A.K.A Andrew Bonwick, London Based DJ & Producer is a guitarist from an early age who found an interest in the electronic dance music scene back in 2001. Particularly drawn to big-beat and anything with a broken, fat, or chunky beat, he began experimenting with sample based production. Swiftly getting bored, he wanted to make more substantial music with a bigger, chunkier sound. Today, Beats Persona amalgamates a combination of chunky, epic, electro, techy, dirty breaks with touch of glitch and euphoria.Beats Persona applies a similar approach to his DJ-ing. Armed with a pair of CDJ's he detonates the dance floor with his signature blend of dirty electro, tech-funk, big-beat breaks and 4/4. Adding a healthy dose of custom remixes, bootlegs, and euphoria, ensures a sure-fire effect on dance floors. Beats Persona has been a regular DJ at Leicester's premier breakbeat night MINT, as well as many other gigs both around the country and internationally, supporting various highly regarded DJ's.With several releases and more in the pipeline from Acidphonic along with other labels, there is still more to come from Beats Persona.Provided on myspace is a small selection of many tunes created by Beats Persona. Beats Persona is part of the Acidphonic collective - with more tunes/information from acidphonic records - www.acidphonic.co.ukA a ahref=
