The dynamic ensemble Beats Antique joins Midnight Agency. Known for their captivating blend of music and performance art, Beats Antique craft experiences that are both visually and sonically mesmerizing. Formed through the combined talents of Zoe Jakes, David Satori, and Tommy Cappel, their blend of electronic world beats has notched over 30 million streams and topped world charts.
Commitment to the full performance art form is how Beats Antique fuses musical worlds, pulling on global sounds for experiments on the fringes of cinematic cabaret, informed by electronic mash-ups and inspirations who have joined them on the journey such as Les Claypool, Alam Khan, The Glitch Mob, Too Many Zooz and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Each album and stage show has built upon the last, with highlights such as: emergence from the bellydance and bass underground in the San Francisco Bay; performing to a massive crowd at Red Rocks Amphitheater; Thievery Corporation and their management discovering Beats Antique one fateful night at Burning Man; artist friends painting set pieces, or donning masks for the finale; performing in Egypt on the day some said the world would end; and playing a hometown show at The Fox on the night Occupy Oakland was evicted and merged with their fans to light bonfires in the street and leap over the flames.
At the heart of Beats Antique is a performance style that defies categorization. Their shows are a spectacle of art in motion, blending thought-provoking themes with the thrill of theatricality. Audiences are invited into a world of artistic expression, merging music with elaborate designs to tell a story.
Beats Antique is lifted in each step by loyal fans who are included in their definition of chosen family. Whether they’ve been music producers or appreciators, acrobats, illustrators, or students of Zoe’s, the multigenerational, welcoming faces in the crowd are the fire that keeps Beats Antique warm, and ready to explore new depths for the sake of these many muses. They aim for a show anyone can enjoy, a circus that feeds the spirit.
