ON THE RADAR JACK BEATS
The duo that make up Jack Beats are seasoned scenesters of bass music but now Niall Dailly (Plus One) and Ben Geffin (Beni G) are hitting the big time, both here and across the Atlantic, under the guise of Jack Beats. Speaking to Music Week, Geffin
spoke about their signing to Skrillex’s OWSLA label earlier this year: “We’ve known Sonny/Skrillex for quite a while and we thought it would be the perfect label to put stuff out on. We approached Sonny, and they were super-keen. It was really grass roots, something we really wanted to do and luckily we made it happen.” “It’s amazing for us to have
come from putting out remixes in our bedroom on a blog and then for it to spread from home studios to actually bringing it out and having success in America, it’s pretty mad.” The latest release in the Jack Beats armoury is the first of two mini-albums, Careless (featuring Diplo, Example, Dillon Francis and MNEK), plus the single of the same name featuring Takura which has already topped the Beatport chart ahead of its release on iTunes/ Columbia/ rest of the world. For those not familiar with Jack Beats, Geffin he explains: “We fall under the bass music umbrella.

We make hybrid music, taking influ- ences from lots of types of things. “We make music on a house tempo but we hybrid all different things from hip hop to drum ‘n’ bass to dubstep or whatever and put it into the mix.” Although relative veterans of bass music culture, Jack Beats look set to capitalise on the grow- ing popularity and mainstream attention that the genre is experi-

encing now and Geffin remains humble with the act’s ambitions: “We’re still growing and evolving, there’s still hell of a lot left of what we want to do. This is like the first jump off really. Our drive and ambi- tion for future stuff is pretty big, we’re just at the beginning now of the next chapter.”
