Time Out says

After a stint in the shadows, Beam has returned to reclaim its spotlight. Specialising in house and techno – but never too purist to flirt with funk – it remains a mainstay for anyone who prefers their nightlife with fewer heels and more hedonism. The dancefloor is deliberately unbroken by tables, giving dancers space to interpret the beat as they will. And with the revered VOID sound system reverberating through your ribcage, you won’t just hear the music – you’ll feel it. Add LED lights and theatrical visuals to the mix, and the whole thing veers satisfyingly into sensory overload.

What’s on

Tijana T Live

With hundreds of sets spun across more than 50 countries, Tijana T’s held court everywhere from the sweat-drenched fog of Berghain to the open-air chaos of Space Ibiza and the voyeuristic gaze of Boiler Room. A product of Belgrade’s underground, she doesn’t so much stick to genres as glide through them – house into electro, breaks into something punchy and unnameable, all delivered with a pulse that refuses to sit still. She plays like someone in constant conversation with the crowd, all rhythm and intuition. Alongside her, Elaheh drifts through minimal and dubby terrain with a quiet confidence, each beat a slow reveal. Takky follows with infectious momentum, blending groove and brightness in a way that makes staying still feel like missing the point entirely. May 22. B300 via here and B500 at the door. BEAM, 9pm onwards

BENEDEK Live

From the palm-fringed haze of Los Angeles to the humid pulse of Bangkok, BENEDEK arrives like a time traveller with a record bag. His sets are less performance, more excavation – acid-flecked funk, humid house, sun-bleached electro and offbeat Latin freestyle stitched together with drum machines, shimmering guitar and the kind of crate-digger instinct you can’t fake. Think midnight car rides with the windows down, but stranger. He’s shared credits with Dam-Funk, Delroy Edwards and Steve Arrington, though name-dropping misses the point – BENEDEK plays like someone who’s lived inside the groove too long to care who’s watching. Joining him, Shanghai’s Endy Chen brings his own quiet obsession. Founder of Groove Bunny Records, he spins rare Asian cuts, jazz-funk oddities and city pop gems with the intimacy of a mixtape made for one. May 24. B300 at the door. BEAMCUBE, 9pm onwards
