about
Try an imagine, if you a will, the future. It’s 2008, the world is at war with itself, the government is on its knees and the economy is in free-fall. If you were born in the 70’s this scenario would seem like we were covering old ground. But you weren’t born in 1970…you were born in 1980 and for most twenty-somethings, life has been pretty good of late. And that’s where Beat Six come in. It’s gonna get grimy again. The streets are about to erupt in a retaliation to the burgeoning unemployment problems, immigration, bad jobs and bad drugs. Beats Six don’t sing about geezers in town centres in tracksuits….they are the men in tracksuits!!! It’s 2008, and the location is West London. A small outpost in this low-rise wasteland of industrial units, aircraft hangars and one-way systems has finally been noticed by meejahland through the patronage of it’s most famous resident Ali G and the post-clash soul sensation that is known as Hard-Fi. Richard Archer and the boys constantly reference the town they grew up in as its all they have. Pimped up Peugeots, drum n’ bass rude boys and the incessant whistling of dump valves and jet engines from beyond the reservoir at T4. This is Beat Six country. And boy do Beat Six know it well. They know it really well. And why do you ask, do they know it so well. Well, the answer is, that in the 25 years of existence, the five members of Beat Six, have never left the place. These boys have been together for 10 years and known each other since
