The Beat Goes On

E LECTRONIC fans will have the chance to catch one of Australia's leading electronic groups when Wicked Beat Sound System performs at Newcastle University on July 26.

The three-piece Sydney outfit will perform tracks from its latest album Illa Styles which combines a mix of electronica and soul music.

Linda Janssen handles vocal duties and DJ duo Dave Cranovale and Damian Robinson blend Janssen's vocals with a mix of beats and ambient sounds.

Marco Simec supplies keyboards and melodica during live performances, while Bruce 'Babs' Clark plays percussion and flute.

The group has been together for six years and received an ARIA nomination in 1996 for the album Music From the Core.
