B The Beat at Coconut Club
B The Beat comes to the DJ world from a slightly different angle than most. For as long as he can remember, he's been obsessed with learning all he can about different dance cultures from around the world. Scouring the internet, learning the dances and taking a digital tour around the world led him to fall in love with the rhythms and movements of Jamaican Dancehall, Brazilian Baile Funk, West African Afrobeats, and Cumbias from around Latin America. Combined with domestic twerk music like New Orleans Bounce, Miami Bass, and Hip Hop bangers you get the style he's coined "World Booty Music". From blasting Reggaetón out of an old-school boombox on 6th street to his latest monthly party "Passport", 20 years of getting Austin to shake ass is his legacy. Catch his set for a crash course in some of the best underrepresented music you don't know you like yet.
