Beatnik share their new EP, 'Vol. 2'

Scottish-born, London-based sibling duo Beatnik have released their new EP, 'Vol.2'.

The record is a multi-genre affair, and the six tracker explores sounds of drum 'n' bass, R&B, dancehall, rap and electropop.

It follows on from years of the brother and sister pairing's contributions to London's clubs through their Beatnik-themed parties, combined with their global touring, having played Glastonbury Festival, Isle of Wight, and even at parties for megastars Beyoncé and Jay-Z and Jay-Z.

"We have been in a creative bubble, writing & producing new tracks aiming at what we want to spin in our DJ sets. The EP is a mix of the genres we love: dancehall, hiphop, drum 'n' bass and just good vibes,” said Nikki Beatnik, one half of the duo.

“We collaborated with friends and artists from the UK & US, we had some great studio days where we were all just as creative as possible with the music, adding some catchy hooks — it's very Beatnik," added Statis.

Drum 'n' bass track 'Never So Much' features vocals from songwriter and performer Roystonm who worked closely with Estelle on her LP 'The 18th Day', whilst electro-influenced 'I See Ya' involves Asian Hawk.
