tances. we'd put on club night s ar,d part ies as DJs and were producing our own tracks th e wEbs ite gave '.IS e xposure as a collec-

tive and we grew from there. i've spent the last 2 years working as part of Jamie Hewlett" s Zomb ie team w orking with Gorillaz. we've done all the album

each other to experiment and progress. We opened a small gallery store in Birm ingham 's Custard factory on the 28th September 2002 to showcase artwork and music. Basically it's a place which we can freely use to sho,,", what we like without restrictions, bringing Beat13 back to Birmingham . Original artwork, limited edition screen-p rin ts and Beat13 t-shirts will be sold from there also, but our main aim is to have fun with th e space.
