    After last months packed affair, March sees the New Perspectives DJs bringing back the boom bap, and looking for the perfect beat, as we explore the sounds and scenes of the new beat. From the latest MPC masters and heavy synth wizards, we'll take an all points journey through the future old school, and paying special attention to where we came from and where we're at.
