Bpm Embraces a New Kind of Sound

Natasha Franks interviews Ahmed Shareefy and Elikem Logan about their music collective.

Guests of any St Andrews event will have heard the sound of Bpm. The Don’t Walk Charity Fashion Show, Rugby 7s, May Ball, and Elaga are amongst the events that have partnered with the music collective, most often seen at the Vic on select Thursday nights. The self-confessed goal of the project is to “provide a platform for young artists and talent.”

DJ Ahmed Shareefy elaborates, “We want to diversify the music culture in St Andrews. You can see already that it’s starting to change the music scene here – everyone is getting new, fresh DJs from outside of St Andrews.”

Bpm’s reach extends across the UK, with previous events being held in London and Birmingham. Elikem Logan refers to the collective as, essentially, a “publishing house” for creative individuals. While their foundation lies in music, Bpm channels a variety of mediums, from fashion to photography. Recently, they announced a partnership with clothing brand Sekai London, and they describe future events as collaborations between various creative groups. Ahmed says, in reference to an upcoming London-based event: “We’ll bring in different acts and have them in one venue, with exhibitions and photography displays all around. It’s a great way for artists to network and meet people who can take them on board for future projects.”

Bpm identified a gap in the St Andrean market. Similar to Wax Collective, they recognised a need for diversity on nights out. “We want to do innovative music nights,” Ahmed adds. “Not just a typical drunk Vic night; something more sophisticated.” Once guests arrive, the collaborative nature of Bpm exposes them to sounds they would not have otherwise experienced. Elikem characterises this method as “bringing together a similar type of energy through these different outlets. People will come into this venue and they’ll hear music they wouldn’t normally listen to at home, and it’s being juxtaposed with music that they like.”

The group aims to create inclusivity through diversity. They welcome aspiring artists, people who would not otherwise have a chance to demonstrate their abilities. “In this industry, it’s hard to show what you’re made of,” Ahmed says. “It’s hard to break through.”

With performances booked at every large event left in the academic year, Bpm will be hard to miss. Both Ahmed and Elikem advise that all interested individuals watch this space for opportunities to become involved.

  24. Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Validation and its Demanding Standards
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the official Swiss testing agency that verifies the accuracy and precision of timepieces. COSC validation is a sign of quality craftsmanship and trustworthiness in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead follows to its own stringent criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO calibre, achieving similar precision.

    The Art of Precision Chronometry
    The core mechanism of a mechanized timepiece involves the mainspring, which delivers energy as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be prone to external elements that may affect its accuracy. COSC-accredited movements undergo rigorous testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and dependability. The tests evaluate:

    Typical daily rate precision between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, highest variation rates, and impacts of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Certification Matters
    For timepiece fans and collectors, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a item of tech but a proof to lasting excellence and accuracy. It symbolizes a watch that:

    Presents exceptional reliability and precision.
    Ensures guarantee of superiority across the complete design of the watch.
    Is apt to maintain its value more efficiently, making it a wise investment.
    Popular Chronometer Manufacturers
    Several famous brands prioritize COSC certification for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Record and Spirit, which highlight COSC-validated mechanisms equipped with innovative substances like silicon equilibrium springs to improve durability and performance.

    Historical Background and the Development of Chronometers
    The notion of the chronometer dates back to the requirement for precise chronometry for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the formal establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the validation has become a benchmark for evaluating the accuracy of luxury watches, continuing a tradition of superiority in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited timepiece is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a commitment to excellence and accuracy. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC accreditation provides tranquility of mind, ensuring that each accredited watch will operate dependably under various circumstances. Whether for individual satisfaction or as an investment, COSC-validated timepieces stand out in the world of watchmaking, maintaining on a tradition of careful chronometry.
