A Studio Challenge Like No Other
Having spent years filming live performances from MCs, Tim & Barry wanted to spotlight another key figure in underground music — the producer. Unlike vocalists, there often wasn’t a moment where electronic producers could be seen building a track in real time. That’s where the concept for Beat This was born.
The format is simple but powerful: producers are challenged to create an original beat in just 10 minutes. Filmed in a single take, it captures raw creativity under pressure.

This innovative concept quickly became a cult favourite for beatmakers and fans alike — shining a light on rising talent and celebrating the craft of music production.
Featured artists include: DJ Rashad, Four Tet, Champion, Swindle, Flava D, and many more.
