PIGEONS & PLANES: " A stream of conscious wisdom with a blunted flow that straddles the lines between rapping and spoken word"

Lately it would appear that the long-time sonic innovators, Foreign Beggars, have been moving away from their previous dancefloor orientated output. Where the two emcee, one DJ trio applied their notorious dynamism to a plethora of electronic cuts or their fourth studio album, The Uprising which was released on EDM titan, Deadmau5’ mau5trap imprint back in 2012. With the group having already collaborated with the likes of Noisia, The Prodigy and Skrillex, the LP seemed to be a further document of Beggar’s exploration of the electronic spectrum, fusing rap and dance music, as well as elements of grime, into an energetic smorgasbord of anthems with productions from Knife Party, Kidkaneveil and 12th Planet. 

Their latest material, the heavyweight and trap fuelled, Modus EP - which was released on their new self-run imprint, Par Excellence and included contributions from Alix Perez - did maintain that kind of club aware flex but it exudes a flavour more evident in their earlier outputs (specifically the smash hit 'Contact' or even 'The Cut Deepens' from Perez' Shogun Audio release 1984 LP. Needless to say, it may not be the sound of the group re-treading 2003's defying debut Asylum Speakers, but Foreign Beggars are proving that they are still hip hop, first and foremost. 

Bringing their incendiary live show back to Room One next Friday night (20th February) alongside Newham Generals, My Nu Leng, GotSome and newcomer Amy Becker, the boys have aptly fired over a brand new exclusive mix to get us nicely hyped before the show…

Foreign Beggars & Plastician ft Wretch 32, Dot Rotten 7 Figure Swagger Grime Remix

The world of electronic music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Within the last few years my passion and love for it has grown immensely. The power of the music I listen to and share with the world is indescribable. I've reached a point where now I wish to share my mixing on a regular basis because I believe the joy and love I get out of it can be shared -- even by just fans listening. I pride myself in creating mixes that bring happiness to people when they are sad, brighten days when they are gloomy, and ultimately add any ounce of positivity to a person's life for even just a split second. I hope you enjoy what I play and I look forward to playing live at a venue near you!
