On the other side of the camera, writing and performing with artists as diverse as seminal punk band Crass to Tessa Pollit (The Slits) to the French collective Nouvelle Vague, Beki was also asked to sing with Röyksopp – something she was thrilled to do, citing them as a huge musical influence and cultural shifters themselves, the result of which is « This Time, This Place », released as their second single on the new album, “Profound Mysteries”.

Pitchfork review:
The seven-minute highlight “This Time… This Place” takes a harder approach, opening with breakneck techno before paring back into a sturdy, clean beat for singer Beki Mari. By the time it hits the six-minute mark, the song devolves into a swirl of Mari’s voice, dreamy synth lines, and a shuffling drum beat, evoking the gauzy, after-hours feeling of watching the sun rise over the dancefloor after a late night out.
