Born of Oakland, CA, the musical trio Beats Antique consists of producers, David Satori, Sidecar Tommy and world-renowned belly dance performer/producer Zoe Jakes, who helped inspire the thematic Middle East tempo of the band.

Growing like wildfire under the canopy of live electonica and world roots music comes Beats Antique, a masterful merge of modern technology, live instrumentation and seductive performance. Beats Antique combines the sounds of the Middle East and orchestral gypsy music with the styles of hip-hop, brass band, downtempo, glitch and dubstep in a new collage of music that is mixed and broken down with clever breakbeats for an adept international flair. Beats Antique is producing an un-charted style of music by adding live horns, accordion, glockenspiel, viola, string quartets, kalimba, clarinet and various unusual instruments to their big beat arrangements.

Beats Antique have also performed with an incredible list of artists including Bassnectar, Diplo, Tipper, Ooah, Yard Dogs Road Show, Jesse Rose, Plastician, MRK1, Ghislain Poirier, Glitch Mob, Adam Freeland, Ana Sia, Eprom, Mimosa, Mike Relm, Haj, Laser Sword, Sub Swara. They have performed at sold out shows in some of the countries most well known venues including The Fillmore, Great American Music Hall, El Rey and the Bowery Ballroom.

Beats Antique is best imagined as an innovative creature built from the cumulative heritage of the world’s music chasing its tail. However vivid that image, when a marching band groove crashes into bluesy folk chords only to be accompanied by electronic beats and Middle Eastern melodies, you’ll still be surprised.
