Beat Phreaks, a brand that constantly puts the spotlight on people with extraordinary musical talent are back at it! As part of their mission to champion some of the brightest acts on the local and international scene, they are showcasing an amazing lineup of Musical Talent on Saturday the 20th of February 2016. This festival is dubbed Phreak Out Live.
The organizers of the event have recognized a thirst for something different: A common-ground where serious music fans and fanatics (Beat Phreaks) get together to express that love for music and the excitement that goes with discovering new artistes or genres of music and not just what is fed to them via radio.
Phreak Out Live is creating that necessary platform where DJs, Producers, Dancers and Artistes can showcase their craft live and allow music lovers to interact and appreciate each art-form better.
The event is set to be a major annual festival. The first edition of Phreak Out Live was nothing short of enthralling with acts like Wanlov a brilliant artiste and performer, and Azizaa an energetic female dubstep musician, amongst others, delivering breath-taking performances which set the standard for future editions of the event.
With a lineup of dope DJs and performers as well as an amazing band called the Musical Lunatics, doling out an eclectic mix of Electronic and Alternative music, the first edition of Phreak Out Live was one of the most musically relevant events last year.
This time, they are upping the stakes. This year’s edition of the festival is divided into two parts:
The Music Concert.
This would happen from 8pm to 10:30pm at Alliance Française Accra and will showcase really amazing Indie acts such as Ghanaian Budapest based artiste Sena Dagadu of Irie Maffia who is bringing an eclectic mix of Electronic/Tropical music, alongside some of the most brilliant young artistes in the local scene Worlasi, Poetra, Yung Pabi, Quayba, Kojo-Cue, King Promise amongst others who are setting the standard with their socially relevant music and great young producers such as Kuvie who are challenging the status quo with their work!
The Electronic Music Rave:
This is dubbed “Electric Warehouse” and would feature some of the best Electronic Music DJs in and out of the country at Plot 7 lounge in Osu. The Funky Professor Kobby Graham alongside Eddy Blay, Keyzuz and more will be bringing a heavy dose of bass and blasting out the best Dubstep, Drum n Bass, Grime, and House Music vibes from 11pm till late! The rave would also give festival goers the opportunity to meet and interact with artistes from the concert. If you have never been to a warehouse rave, you shouldn’t miss this experience!
Leave your inhibitions at home, and come ready to experience exceptional musical talent on the 20th of February to set the tone for the rest of your year. For more information, send an email to beatphreaks@gmail.com or find them on twitter @BeatPhreaks.
