Beats Antique – World Fusion, Electronic Dance Music

Beats Antique, one of the significant acts of our time, delivers delicious, soul reaching rhythms and a multitude of live instrumental grooves blended together with electronic elements.  Add to that a breathtaking spectacle of tribal fusion and performance art of mysticaldelic proportions and you have a show that appeals to Burners, world music lovers and EDM-ers alike.

Known worldwide, they got their start with Tribal Derivations a sort of Middle Eastern inspired trip-hop belly dance music. –A fusion of old school jazz, hip-hop, and psychedelia, all rolled up into a framework of Middle Eastern influence.

Chris Hooper, a concert photographer based in Austin, created compelling images of the trio as they performed live during the Euphoria Music and Camping Festival 2014 (EMCF14).

Sidecar Tommy Cappel (keys, toy piano, drums) points to the audience.

Several abstract forms beckon to be recognized as Zoe beats her drum.

David Satori (guitar, saz, viola, and percussion) gets down on guitar.

Zoe Jakes doing a belly dance where the stomach is in undulation. A serpent revealed itself behind her during image development.

Looks like a water color. Sidecar Tommy laying down some hypnotic rhythms at Euphoria Music Festival.

A fan dance extraordinaire.

Mutli-talented David Satori plays violin in silhouette.

The sweet Zoe not only bewildered with her belly dance but amps up the vibe on the drum.

Abstract reptilian reveals itself during the processing of this image of Sidecar Tommy Cappel.

It is a hi-energy affair with Zoe Jakes on drum.

David Satori adds to the poly-rhythms of Beats Antique.

Nothing quit like the electro-gypsy sound.
