ABOUT US
Our Story
The Beat Goes On.... is the UK's latest independent Micro-Festival.
Our events are self funded via ticket & bar sales. We are fully committed to providing quality productions on a small scale. We offer multi-genre electronic music accompanied by performance, art freedom and escapism.
Music & DJs
We celebrate the very heart of UK electronic underground dance music by booking a diverse line up of DJs able to deliver sets showcasing a wide range of musical genres: Acid Techno, Hard House, NRG, Acid House, House Acid Trance, Psy Trance, Dub, Reggae DnB & Jungle. We welcome submissions from DJs, if you would like to get involved: please send us a link to your music with some information about yourself & no more than a 45 min mix.
All external signage & TBGO decor
All signage, decoration and seating has been created by upcycling items giving rubbish that was heading to landfill a second lease of life!. All wood has been sourced locally in Bristol. Our colourful glow in the dark UV Re-Cyborgs were created over several months using rubbish heading to landfill either sourced from our household rubbish or from the Scrap Store Bristol. We are proud to be part of building a better future!
Performance
We enjoy adding mind blowing decoration as well as an element of theatrical performance into the mix and have been supported by several acts over the past few years. Including The Real Amy G , Honey Events, Luak Fire Tribe, Flow Tek Circus Skills, The Rubbish Robots from Outer Space & The hugely talented Mechanical Menagerie
If you are a performer or walkabout act and would like to get involved, please get in touch using our contact form.
