About the Tour

The quest for beats and bass. This is the story of a young, suburban dweller's first foray into London’s underground drum-and-bass scene.

In this semi-autobiographical, guided tour-tale, Paul Cree takes you on a journey through London’s vibrant city-centre, past old nightclubs and record shops, while telling you about his first trip to the legendary End nightclub.

Music produced by W. Scott Cree.

1 tour

Writer and performer; poems, stories and plays. Started out as an MC and rapper. I live in London and enjoy the little things in life, like a decent cup of tea and a fresh pint of lager. Love football, music and staring out of the window aimlessly, especially when it's raining.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
Do tours without paying for data
Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.
