Beat Connection at the Casbah was a refreshing, energetic experience.
Seattle isn't generally the kind of place you'd associate with catchy dance-pop bands, and with a name like Beat Connection you'd probably think they're rolling out from Brooklyn or Stockholm, but not so. Coming straight outta Seattle, Beat Connection are finally releasing their debut album after teasing us for a couple of years with their "Surf Noir" EP and a couple of singles. Released on Moshi Moshi and Tenderage on July 30th, "Palace Garden" will no doubt be filled to the brim with infectious, sultry synth-pop [...]

Let me introduce you to my go-to Winter into Spring song. Keep this one handy for rainy days. Trust me - it works. I’m 99% confident that slight head nods will turn into feel taps that will eventually turn into an inescapable beam. It’s a synthy track with aptly applied vocals. The hook on Silver Screen is quite charming and will keep you coming back time and again. The feeling is comparable to Matt & Kim 's Daylight , but a little less bubbly. So go ahead… cheese a little. Beat Connection [...]
Beat Connection are what I always wanted chillwave to be. With most music of their genre I feel like I get lost in the songs. Not lost as in I am so deep in the thoughts provoked by said music, lost as in I sometimes forget what the hell I’m listening to and turn it [...]

On a recent sojourn to Sweden, I didn't listen to very much music. I decided it was time to unplug, forget about the internet and the daily grind for awhile, enjoy the world and soak in some Scandinavia. I caught up on books and sleep and museums. And yes, I'll admit that music is part of that daily "grind", despite how much I love it. Scouring blogs and music sites and listening constantly are activities I pursue freely and by extension not things I feel compelled to complain about. However, I do feel the need to ignore once in awhile. [...]

mp3: Beat Connection - Same Damn Time Seattle electro-pop duo Beat Connection released their Surf Noir ep earlier this summer. The eight track collection is the perfect end of summer comedown soundtrack; laid back dance music for chilling out on a rooftop while watching the sunset. Surf Noir is available for free at bandcamp .

beat connection - "in the water" (download) Seattle's Beat Connection released their Surf Noir EP last month. The EP is 8 tracks of summery lo-fi pop songs and dare-I-say is borderline "chillwave-esque." This thing has really grown on me these past few weeks. It's perfect for a sunny summer day, which we're finally starting to get out here in the Bay Area. I guess the timing is right. You can download the EP for FREE right here [...]
This is the second video in the Beat Connection series. Check out part one here .
This summer Camp Revival has had Beat Connection's flawless L.P., Surf Noir , on loop. On August 10th Camp Revival met up with Beat Connection at the band's practice space in the U-District. Climbing up to the attic space where Beat Connection's equipment was set up, the band's sound made more, and more sense to me. They are basically practicing in the clouds, overlooking the entire U-District; it was incredible. After a quick sound check, grilled meats and a healthy amount of beer we started the camera and caught part one of the Beat Connection series.

Surf Noir , sorbitos de un verano menguante. [MP3] Beat Connection - Sunburn

The boys from Beat Connection , a Seattle based duo, recently sent over their debut EP, Surf Noir . These eight tracks are light and summery with a heavy dose of nostalgia, and are perfectly reminiscent of the sand and surf. Considering that they're giving away this delightful bundle of songs for FREE on their bandcamp , you'd really be a fool to pass this up. Beat Connection - In the Water Beat Connection - Silver Screen

Beat Connection - In the Water While we Californian’s are enjoying crisp sunny days, being burned poolside or beachside, Seattle’s duo Beat Connection is fighting off the clouds and pummeling the rain with such due diligence using the only weapon they have; their music. Surf Noir is one of the sunnier, warmer, and hard hitting, waved out, and at times tropical EP’s being released this summer. “In The Water” is a wet bounce-house of fun. I hear a lot of other sounds in it; Blue [...]
