Deze tweemalige ‘UK Beatboxer Champion’ wordt door BBC ook wel ‘King of Sound and Ruler of Beats’ genoemd. Op het podium combineert de Londense Darren Foreman zijn beatboxing skills met live looping technologie hetgeen resulteert in abstracte geimproviseerde DJ-sets.

“What I sound like depends on how i feel at the time, what i’ve been listening to, what is suggested to me, who i’m playing with, their mood, what the audience is like, the stage of the evening, the stage, the ambience, momentary whims, whether I’m having a fat day or a thin day, the political climate in the world, whether I’ve taken my pills, how much sleep i’ve gotten the night before, how drunk I am, if there are any real heads in da buildin, whether I’ve just had a curry, how well southend united are doing etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.” – Beardyman
