Best way to describe Beats Working? Spontaneous, orchestrated, brilliant, yet unpredictable! If you don't know who Beats Working are, they are a fresh new band that take the definition of hip hop to a whole new level, attracting the attention of industry heavyweights and record labels as well as building a solid local following. Beats Working is a musical collaboration between Handsome Dan, (Dan Leaver) JB aka +1 (James Branson -previously Kid Confucius), with MC Mullut, (Tullum Delaney) and DJ Helmy (Tim Helmy) who have been feverishly brewing in a basement in the hills surrounding Coffs Harbour since early 2007. Taking inspiration from a diverse range of artists such as Oz hip hop stalwarts like The Hoods and the Herd, to American pioneers like The Roots and Gnarls Barkley, through to the whole spectrum of pop music such as The Beatles and Goldfrapp. Beats Working are constantly crossing genres blending hip-hop with a few cheeky samples that even Mum remembers.
