The Beast interviews…Peasoup

The beast invited DJ Peasoup to showcase his wares at the next Minotaur Sound party in May. Wrap your ears around a teaser mini mix created just for Beastie by Peasoup. Forever curious Beast wanted to know more as to what makes Peasoup’s metaphorical metronome tick the most.

Peasoup defines himself as a music lover and DJ from Bristol, into his Hip-hop, DnB & Breaks with anything else that takes his fancy. Beast and crew instantly fell in love with his versatility and the rich bassy sounds that have been emanating from his Technics over the last 16 years of his DJ’ing career.

He has DJ’d alongside Jon First (DMC World Champ) and DJ Rollz and has also played with Tek-One, Llaman and Goldie Lookin Chain. He was a regular at Big Chill and Thekla in Bristol and played at The Brits snowboarding festival in Tignes. He also co ran a clubnight in Leicester in the dubstep days.

Peasoup gets his musical inspiration drawing upon his hip hop background and spends a lot of time digging into past records and samples. “Every time you go back you find a new tangent to follow and expand your knowledge” he explains.

Peasoup tells the beast that if given the chance he would love to appear on the same lineup as A-Skilz for pure party vibes, DJ Premier for Hip Hop and Logistics for DnB. “I love DnB because it’s forever changing faces and assimilating new styles. I’ve never once got bored of it as a genre – it’s so broad and complex” …Beast stomps his hooves in agreement and asks Peasoup if he wants Minotaur Sound minions to know anything else about him…

“…just don’t ask me to play Beyonce”

Beast is relieved with this last statement and agrees that the B word is never to be uttered, let alone requested.

Catch Peasoup pleasing a discerning crowd in the planned Drum and Bass den. A beaty palate cleanser to the main Techno room at the May party.
