Bradley's Beat is an EP by Richard D. James, under the alias Bradley Strider, released by Rephlex Records in 1995.

The record has a 1991 copyright date, but there is no reference to it on any Rephlex promotional copy until its 1995 press release. The Rephlex label often put out misinformation about their release catalogue, which may explain this. Three pressings of the single are known to exist. Although all three have the same A-side track, the B-sides vary on the first two pressings and the third pressing has a grooveless B-side.

Reception

In 2014, Andy Beta of Pitchfork listed Bradley's Beat as one of James's "10 Essential Releases", referring to its mix of dance techno and world music.
