Osheaga preview with Beat Market

July 07, 2014/ EDM Canada

As EDM continues to grow there are fans out there that try to broaden their musical palette in an never ending cycle to continually find what's new and fresh. Beat Market, an electronic music duo from Montreal, are a live act that will be taking the Osheaga stage for the first time on August 2nd.

Beat Market is a live act as they play on synths and drums, which stylistically likens to other live acts such as Disclosure, or even Big Gigantic (Minus the sax). They refer to their sound to be of the "French Touch" variety, which adequately describes their sound in the album Red Magic. Their latest release though is remixed EP of "Aviator 2000", the first track off of Red Magic, check it out:

Live acts are always worthy to check out in person, and you can at Osheaga when they take the Piknic Electronik stage from 1:35 until 2:25 on Saturday, August 2nd. For more information, click below:
