A pillar of the UK’s underground electronic music community, he continues to perfect his crafts and develop a sound, aesthetic and feeling that’s truly his own. Over time, Ben has furnished a wide and expansive record collection spanning the breadth of house, techno and the wider electronic music spectrum. His vinyl-buying philosophy remains a relatively simple one: seeking out records that stand out on their own as something truly special. Ben has spent the last two decades immersed within the UK electronic music scene and has managed to forge a musical identify of his own from the early days of seeking out breakbeat tapes as a teenager to garnishing influence from the US house sounds of Hard Times and Back to Basics at the turn of the millennium. Following a move to London, Ben established boe recordings in 2007 and wasted no time in attracting fresh, top-drawer signings. Records from the likes of KiNK, Leif, Anaxander and John Shima have gained support from top-tier jocks including Fred P, Raresh, Mike Huckaby, and François K, with the label garnering a reputation as a stronghold of underground talent; an uncompromising and carefully curated imprint with its own discernible aesthetic. With deep, dancefloor-primed cuts that acknowledge the past while embracing the present, it boasts a coherent and impressive back catalogue with its 30th release on the horizon. Ben’s second label For Those That Knoe was minted in 2013, and serves as an outlet for the fruits of his digging-based labour: giving a new lease of life for rare, unreleased and almost forgotten tracks from the unsung heroes of vintage house and techno, including Derek Carr and Casey Tucker. It’s a reissue label that gets the job done properly no rip-off controversies here. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the label’s been a hit with some of the scene’s most respected DJs: Panorama Bar residents Steffi and Virginia are big fans. If DJing for almost 20 years and running two well-respected record labels wasn’t enough, Ben has been steadily honing his craft in his studio over the past decade with a penchant for modern rhythm boxes, legacy synthesisers and samplers and dusty 12 bit effects units. Ben’s edgy and original sounding solo productions have naturally found their way onto his own imprint as well as super selective Contrast Wax. His remix skills are also in high demand with a very special rework on a classic Italian label on the horizon. Unsurprisingly, Ben’s records have recently been finding the record boxes of heads such as Brawther and XDB. With two decades of record digging and DJing experience, many originally crafted productions and an ear for A&R like no other, now is the time for Ben to shine.̸EPs BOE026 Leagues to Light-Years (boe recordings) CW009 Journeys Into The Realm of Team17 (Contrast Wax) Appearances BOEXXX Spectral Gate (boe recordings) BOE025 Aqueous Refraction (boe recordings) BOE022 Low Rider (boe recordings) Remixes BOE024 Anaxander - Wild Grass (Ben boe 16Bit Remix) (boe recordings) BOE009 Deymare - Talking About That (Ben boe Deep Vox Remix) (boe recordings)
