New John B & Beta Recordings Webstore Launched!

We’re proud to announce the launch of our brand new webstore at www.beta-store.com

Thanks to the amazing skills of our new web designer genius Mike @ bozboz.co.uk and Trickartt at www.trickartt.com and a lot of blood, sweat and tears in the Beta Recordings office AND several million hours climbing around in the loft going through all our back catalogue and checking stock levels – we’re finally there!

The new webstore has a much better system for dealing with digital downloads, we sell bundles now too which is great for albums, and we’re planning on putting up some previously unavailable stuff too – like John’s first album, ‘Visions’ and a previously very limited USA only release of ‘Brainstorm’ – plus lots more classics, remastered & remixed – but more on that later.

We’ve also massively improved the shipping system – every item has its weight recorded, so when you check out all you have to do is tell us which country you live in, the webstore works out the total weight of everything you ordered and then calculates the correct shipping, so no more searching for the right shipping option in a huge list, and no more accidental overcharging or any of that rubbish! Lovely!

We’ve got loads of back catalogue up now, (if it’s displayed on the site then we have it in stock!) – and some really cool new stuff coming in time for Christmas too (did someone say JOHN B SNOWGLOBES!? haha!)

So go check out www.beta-store.com right now and bag yourself some electropunkrobotikDrum&Bass – mp3s are only 89p!

Photos: John B @ 18 Months Club, Freiburg 02.05.09

Taken from the offical John B Blog:

The guys at nitebeat.de and subculture.de sent over some galleries of photos from my gig over in Freiburg, Germany a couple of weeks back, at 18 months club, with MC Fava – man with the deepest voice in Germany! Had a really fun gig, nice and busy, and well up for it crowd.

Had the world’s greatest Club Sandwich in the hotel first actually – worthy of a picture:

And then Rrrrrrrrrinsed it out! (Note my shirt totally soaked and stuck to my back later on. Was HOT in there! Got a late checkout the next day and had some proper rest, seriously good to be able to catch up some sleep like that sometimes! The hotel people were lovely and made me a FABULOUS espresso the next day, flight was on time, and came home to my fabulous girlfriend and PIZZA. Yay!

As usual you can see the whole gallery of photos (there’s about 300!) up on my flickr, facebook & myspace pages – and on their original places at nitebeat.de and subculture.de (thanks to the photographers for sending the photos over!).

Photos: John B @ Luxor Live, Arnhem 25.04.09

Post taken from the official John B Blog:

Many thanks to Lukas Verdijk for sending over the photos from my gig over in Holland a couple of weeks ago, and big up to DJ Tyson for hooking up the event and getting the audio recording and these pics over so quickly – check out my podcast for the recording of my set!

The club was a bit smaller than I’m used to playing lately, but the vibe was excellent, really REALLY good sound & lighting, and literally everyone in there was going nuts – ended up with loads of randoms up on the stage jiggling about Flew over from London to Dusseldorf then a quick drive over to Arnhem with Shimon, who was also playing – good to catch up with mr AudioPorn and check out what he’s playing too. So yeah, great gig – looking forward to going back sometime!

I’ve posted the whole photo galleries up on flickr, the John B Myspace page & the John B Facebook Fan page.

Loads of live footage from his set in the main arena, then the VIP Deluxe arena for his 2nd set. Crazy performances from acrobats and performance artists & sexydancers on-stage. And some bonus footage from the artists’ area backstage, and pretty scary video of stilt walkers falling over! (We hope they’re ok!)

Much love to all the Russian fans, all the organisers & crew that made the event as amazing and memorable as it was!
