Getting to know… So Beast
So Beast’s music stems from improvisation and the underground art scene often blending sonic collage and performance. Their tracks move between danceable grooves, distorted sound design, layered samples and abstract atmospheres, reflecting a multicultural network of influences and languages. On June 20, they’re playing at Monarch! Read what they had to say on our little Q&A we do with artists.
