Tulgey Beat is a seven-piece genre-mashing groove machine based in Berlin. Tulgey Beat pulls together influences from across the globe - including jazz, afrobeat, and rock. The band is made up of some of the top musicians in Berlin's rich and international musical community. We specialise in original dance-floor filling songs, clashing and mutating influences to bring a fresh and powerful sound.
Tulgey Beat was founded in 2020 by British guitarist George Birkett and Israeli bassist Or Rozenfeld. At the time they both felt a desire for a groove-oriented band focused on filling the dance floor. George’s influences came from a love of music from the African diaspora and jazz music. Or is involved in modern jazz, funk, rock and middle eastern music. The addition of a horn section of trumpet, tenor sax, baritone sax plus a rock-solid drummer and percussionist duo completed the 7-piece line-up and Tulgey Beat was born.
