About
Progressive, aggressive, and with a strong message, Barcelona-based Beatspoke is a part of the new wave of future soul artists. Fearlessly melding genres with unparalleled success, they are ones to watch. In early 2009 they released their debut album ¨No Rush¨ (Inphusion) along with two EPs featuring remixes by European artists such as DJ Vadim, Blackjoy, Dave da Gato (Zero dB) and Ishfaq, as well as artists in Japan like Aroop Roy, Sauce 81, Kez YM and Fujimoto Tetsuro.
Since then they´ve been nominated for and won several awards including theGilles Peterson´s Worldwide Festival Talent Search (2009) and Radio Grenouille´s Hangtime Award for Best First Album (2009).
And they´ve been touring around europe in support of their album release sharing stages with DJ Vadim, Yarah Bravo, Gilles Peterson, Bonobo, Alice Russel, Wax Tailor, Zero dB, Simbad, Diplo, and Bugz in the Attic amongst others.
Their live shows, a combination of vintage synth sounds, fat analogue broken beats, seductive vocals over live-looped harmonies and spoken word, are orchestrated through a synchronized string of drum machines, samplers, synths and even an iPad.
They are currently working on their second album to be released soon.

Lyrics
- Beg & Plead
You know the way that you walk
Hmm You know the way that you tease
and oh no the way that you talk
Hmm no the way that you steal
And oh I wanna hurt you so deep
wanna hear you say please
mmm wanna hurt you so deep
wanna hear you beg and you please
Had me looking for some kind of salvation
while my heart in all but starvation
dizzy with this same old sensation
of malnutrition
way down in my very damn core
and all you do is ask for more
And oh I wanna hurt you so deep
wanna hear you say please
mmm wanna hurt you so deep
wanna hear you beg and you please
living for this day
you´re the harbinger of sorrow
filled with so much hate
you´ve bestowed upon me fatal blows
here I am a floating
don´t know what or who I am
gone today tomorrow
this is what I chose to live
I transcend in convalescence
so behold I incandesce
leaving you a second-guesser
in your own farewell address
just a rung upon my ladder,
a hesitation in my stride
a greedy little needer dented in my pride
oh wanna hurt you so deep
I wanna hear you beg and you plead
oh I wanna hurt you so deep
I wanna hear you say please
