Sam Beach, Music Producer, musician, and DJ from North London. Sam is also the Owner of event brand 'Off Site Funk, an up and coming club movement hosting events around the country that bring like-minded people together for the love of music, giving him the chance to play-out and road test his new tracks live.

Sam grew up in a house full of music. From an early age, many a home video shows him singing and experimenting with various instruments. He now plays drums, keyboards and guitar. Inevitability he gravitated towards House music as his mum was (is) always playing Disco and Soul.

Eager to produce his own tracks Sam started learning how to write and produce musical ideas on his Dad's home studio. He has been on various music production/sound engineering courses at The Stables in Milton Keynes, and has spent a lot of time learning DJ skills at the Roundhouse in Camden.

As he continues to feed his tracks out into the world of media his dedicated efforts are beginning ‘bear fruit’. Several of Sam's tracks, remixes and DJ edits have yielded active plays by DJ friends at Golden Bee, (London), Hi (Ibiza), We Are Festival (London), Cafe Mambo (Ibiza), and radio stations BBC Radio 1 and 1XTRA, Kiss FM, FLEX FM, Rinse FM, Select Radio, The Beat, and a guest mix on House 559 radio, playing club records, some of his own material, remixes and DJ edits.

 The story of UB40, and how this group of young friends from Birmingham transcended their working-class origins to become the world’s most successful reggae band is not the stuff of fairytales as might be imagined. The group’s led a charmed life in many respects it’s true, but it’s been a long haul since the days they’d meet up in the bars and clubs around Moseley, and some of them had to scrape by on less than £8 a week unemployment benefit. The choice was simple if you’d left school early. You could either work in one of the local factories, like Robin Campbell did, or scuffle along aimlessly whilst waiting for something else to happen.

By the summer of 1978, something else did happen, and the nucleus of UB40 began rehearsing in a local basement. Robin’s younger brother Ali, Earl Falconer, Brian Travers and James Brown all knew each other from Moseley School of Art, whilst Norman Hassan had been a friend of Ali’s since school. Initially, they thought of themselves as a "jazz-dub-reggae" band, but by the time Robin was persuaded to join and they’d recruited Michael Virtue and Astro – who’d learnt his craft with Birmingham sound-system Duke Alloy – the group had already aligned themselves to left-wing political ideals and forged their own identity, separate from the many punk and Two Tone outfits around at that time. The group had nailed their colours to the mast by naming themselves after an unemployment benefit form. Their political convictions hadn’t been gleaned second hand either, but cemented in place whilst attending marches protesting against the National Front, or rallies organised by Rock Against Racism.

By the time Chrissie Hynde invited them to tour with the Pretenders during the summer of 1980 and their debut single "King b/w Food For Thought" had sailed into the UK Top 5, all the essential elements of UB40 were already in place. Their line-up will remain unchanged for almost thirty years, and they will continue playing a mix of original material and inspired choice of reggae covers in a style that’s instantly accessible with its bright melodies and sweeping horn arrangements – one that’s allied to a formidable rhythm section, capable of holding its own with anything from Jamaica.

UB40’s first album was released the following September, on Graduate Records. Their deal allowed them more creative freedom than if they had signed with a major label. The cover artwork memorably duplicated an unemployment benefit card, with the title "Signing Off" rubber-stamped in red, but it was the music that quickly worked its way into the affections of a young, mainly student crowd with its knowing lyrics, solid reggae rhythms and dubby, instrumental passages, offset by warm horn solos and Jamaican style scatting. There was nothing else like it at the time. As a multi-cultural band from Birmingham, UB40 weren’t drawn into trying to sound "authentic," and there was considerably more depth to their music than that of many punk and 2Tone bands. "I’m a British subject, not proud of it, whilst I carry the burden of shame," they sang on one of the tracks. Accepting the truth of their own situation amidst a sea of other reggae songs proclaiming black heritage gave us a valuable insight into where UB40 were coming from. They were unafraid to stand up and be counted, and British audiences instinctively loved them for it. "Signing Off" duly went to No. 2 in the UK and stayed on the nation’s album charts for 72 weeks.

On September 2nd, 2013, UB40 released their latest album ‘Getting Over The Storm’ on Universal/Virgin Records.

A product of the nineties, Will spent most of his free time lurking around east london pirate radio stations observing and absorbing the then emerging UK Garage and Jungle scene. 
Whilst trying to define his sound he found himself drifting towards the deep soulful house circuit and soon was totally submerged as he fell in love with the then very underground secret after partys, with dance til dawn culture that went hand in hand with music.

Then he got into the deep tech sound and as his passion for this scene increased, Will got into the DJ side of things and with in no time found his way behind the decks at a number of clubs, Mother Bar 333, Brickhouse, Basing house,Avalon, XOYO, Scala, Aquarium, Lightbox\Covert, Delanos(ibiza) and other bar, club and warehouse venues in the east london area featuring on line ups with the likes of Alex Arnout, Clive Henry, Mihai Popoviciu, Mark Radford, Carlos Aries, Krankbrothers, Lee B3 Edwards, No artificial Colours and others
