Beta 2 - The Beats Inbetween EP

Review by Rebecca Stahr

Alright, let’s dive into The Beats Inbetween EP by Beta 2. Released in 2016 on Metalheadz Platinum, this little gem is a slice of pure Jungle/Drum'n'bass goodness that feels like it was crafted for those moments when you’re vibing hard but also need something to chew on emotionally. Dominic Purcell wrote and produced the whole thing, and honestly? It shows. This isn’t just another DnB release—it’s got soul. First up, “Black Dahlia.” Man, this track hits different. It opens with this eerie, almost cinematic vibe, like you're walking through foggy streets at night, trying not to think about what might be lurking around the corner. Then BAM—the beat drops, and suddenly you're running. Not from anything specific, mind you, but more like running toward something you can't quite see yet. The bassline is gnarly as hell, all growls and wobbles, but there’s this melody weaving in and out that keeps things hauntingly beautiful. I remember listening to this late one evening, staring out my window, and feeling like the world had slowed down just so I could catch my breath. Weird how music does that sometimes. Then there’s “The One That Got Me (feat. Suzanne Purcell).” Oh man, this one’s a gut-punch. Suzanne’s vocals are soft, almost fragile, but they cut right through the chaos of the production. There’s this tension between her voice and the jagged breaks underneath, like she’s holding onto something precious while everything else falls apart. And those lyrics—simple, but they stick with you. Like, yeah, we’ve all got that person or moment we let slip away, haven’t we? When the drop finally comes, it’s cathartic. Feels less like ‘dancefloor banger’ and more like ‘cry-in-your-room-then-get-back-up-again’ kind of energy. Honestly, every time I hear it, I get chills. Proper goosebumps. What makes this EP stand out isn’t just its technical brilliance—it’s the way it connects. Beta 2 doesn’t just throw together some sick beats; he tells stories. You feel them. Whether it’s the dark allure of “Black Dahlia” or the raw vulnerability of “The One That Got Me,” these tracks linger long after the music stops. And here’s the kicker: even though it came out back in 2016, it still sounds fresh today. Maybe because life itself is kinda like drum ‘n’ bass—chaotic, unpredictable, and full of unexpected drops. Or maybe I’m overthinking it. Either way, if you haven’t spun The Beats Inbetween EP, do yourself a favor and press play. Just don’t blame me if you end up zoning out for hours… or crying in your car.
