Beats

Beats music emerged in the late 1990s as a delightful blend of electronic foundations with a sprinkle of hip hop swagger, mostly brewing in the underground scenes of the UK and Europe. Defined by its rhythmic, catchy beats and often unexpected samples, it’s as if someone accidentally made a dance floor-friendly soundtrack whilst experimenting with a samplers and a coffee machine. The genre has not only inspired countless artists but also made people wonder whether it’s possible to dance whilst simultaneously nodding seriously, as if contemplating the existential meaning of life and bass.
