Editorial Reviews
Featuring a remix of 'Roustabout' by Bassnectar who SF Weekly quoted 'The largest cult following of any DJ in San Francisco' Beats Antique return with their brand new offering Collide. Their sound is a unique blend based in 'old' & 'new'. They blend old time turn of the century dust bowl Americana roots based music with middle eastern Bellydance, Electronica, and down tempo Hip Hop to create a unique fusion all their own.

Beats Antique is a wonderful collection for Tribal Fusion, even in it's divergence from the Solace crowd, and Pentaphobe dark electronica influences. (Which I still love BTW) This album breaks new ground and delves into early jazz, blues, and San Francisco Chinatown (1800's)style, with middle eastern drum beats to overlay. It's a hypnotic,opium filled fantasy full of deep smoky images from the past, seeping under the wooden floorboards of a jazz club down a back alley and with the right password, you gain access to it's delicious rhythms.

I'm a little surprised to see all the reviews of people who say they wanted to bellydance to this? I suppose so. I think that's kind of missing the point of the CD.
You could also say it's middle eastern inspired jazz, but I think that's missing a component of the music.
Personally, I'd categorize the music as middle eastern inspired trip-hop. A fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and psychedelia, all rolled up into a framework of middle eastern influence.
The music doesn't strike me as regular enough to dance too. Too many odd tempo changes and pauses. This is music you groove to, no matter what kind of grooving you do. You could chill to it in a dark room. You can groove to it while entertaining friends. You can groove to schoolwork. It's very versatile music. But more than anything, it's sheer pleasure. This is beautiful music. Beautiful, wonderful, interesting, compelling music.

This CD is FANTASTIC! Definately my favorite CD as a tribal dancer. I HIGHLY reccomend this, the music is just phenomenal. You'll especially appreciate this if you're familiar with The Indigo.

I probably should have gotten something a little more traditional while I'm still learning. This music is fun and WONDERFUL, but has a lot of opportunities for a little bit of theatrical movement, and as a beginner, I can barely get the basics down right now. BUT a wonderful add to any collection, I'm still listening to it even if I don't know what I'm doing!

This is a great CD. I just used the music to dance at a show. A real crowd pleaser, and fun to dance to. I agree it brings bellydance into the 21st century, yet it also maintains "real" bellydance rhythms.
I would love to see another of these CD's soon please!

The music on this cd is perfect for tribal bellydancing (especially solo). I love the blend of down-tempo hip hop beats and middle eastern instruments.

Normally when I buy a CD there's one or two songs that I really like and the rest I could live without. This CD doesn't have a track on it I don't like. You can tell a belly dancer had something to do with producing it. I hope they make 10 more just as good as this one.
Each track is different with modern influences but there is a hint of Middle Eastern music if not full blown ME drum rhythms and saz playing going on. The tracks are all good lengths with nice build up in the music. I can't say enough good things about this CD. I could do a whole show using every track. I will say if you are looking for traditional belly dance music you may be disappointed. Definitely made with Tribal Fusion in mind.

I found this music to be great for belly dancing to. The beats are very easy to hear. There are some unusual pieces done as remixes that are interesting also. Enjoy!

People want to bellydance to it for a reason
This is one of Beats' most awesome CDs but let me clarify something.
See that woman on the cover? She is a dancer from The Indigo, a Tribal Fusion/ATS Bellydance group. Read more

Love it!
Have heard their other albums, all of which are great but this one somehow really speaks to me. Hands down the best one, at least as far as favored number of tracks are concerned.

I got to see Beats Antique at Bonnaroo 2011. What a show. With Zoe Jakes belly dancing and drum work, I went into a different dimension. Time stood still, but I couldn't. Read more
