The Bird was at capacity by 9pm and a line of keen punters ran down the street and around the corner. For beat aficionados it was the place to be. Nineteen beatmakers took to the stage in a series of heats, then the hopefuls were whittled down to eight as things started to get to the pointy-like-a-stylus end. As the quarters went to the semis and then bang to the finals, it was Perth’s prodigal son of the beat Ta-ku who took out his third successive Beat Down Title – a three-peat! (Thanakfully he has now been retired and we should see a new champion arise out of Beat Down Four…)

Beatmakers who appeared on the night included Rob Shaker (2nd Place), Creed birch, Ian johnson, Axis, Ta-ku, Mathas, Raize, Silence, Fybdz86, Konflikt, Alphanumerics, Leonidis, Daniel Oath, Mike Viture, M’da V, Gravy.
