The Beat Stuff is the debut six track EP by Canadian singer-songwriter Hannah Georgas.[1] Originally released independently in 2008 as a five-song release,[2] the EP was later picked up by Hidden Pony Records (with distribution through EMI Canada), which released a new edition in early 2009 with the extra track "Gabriella".[3]

The EP garnered radio airplay for the singles "The Beat Stuff" and "The National".

Starbucks licensed "The Beat Stuff" for play in its cafés.[4] During her tour to support the EP, a commercial music supervisor also saw her performance in New York City, and licensed her new non-album track, "You've Got a Place Called Home", for use in a Wal-Mart commercial.[4]

Georgas won CBC Radio 3's Bucky Award for Best New Artist in 2009.[1]
