On Tuesday, September 18, the electronica/experimental world fusion act Beats Antique will take the stage at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus. The 7 p.m. show will also feature rapper Lynx as the opener.

Beats Antique displays a wide range of musical influences, such as Middle Eastern belly dance, down tempo, hip-hop, old school jazz, clown, afro-beat and many styles of electronic music. Their most recent album, Contraception Vol. 2 will be released on September 18, the same day as the show.
