Benjamin One isn’t just another studio producer…
With a fresh approach picked up in the backwaters’ of Englands’ West Country, formed by cuddling speakers and then going out painting, Ben along with his samplers and records created an electro-magnetic live show with a definate skull-swinging-foot-flinging ethic.
Known for his crooked, bass-driven sound, his tunes are rugged, forward-feeling beatscapes. Ben is known for making heads turn anywhere you may find youself and your speakers or headphones.
In 2010 Ben has been included in the Dj Shadow remix cd which is a definate honour and testament to his unorthadox orthadoxy.add to that signing tracks to well respected brighton label Tru thoughts records and starting a project with legendary dj krust”s (full cycle/fresh 4) new rebel instinct imprint…the feeling is good right now and the music is spreading.
Bens’ live prog-hop pad-banging beat journey on mpc and laptop has seen him support:
The Glitch Mob (Alpha Pup), Anti Pop Consortium (Big Dada), Gaslamp Killer (Brainfeeder), Dimlite (Stones Throw/Now Again), Dose One and Jel (Themselves/Anticon), Edan, Bullion, Slugabed (Ramp), Sole (Anticon), Blackalicious (Solesides) and many more.
To add to that his tunes have recently recieved kind praise from artists such as:
BBC Radio Introducing , Take (Alpha Pup), Dizz One (Nod Navigators),Kutmah (low end theory) Unique 3, Rob Luis (Tru Thoughts ), DJ Yoda , DJ Cheeba (Solid Steel radio/Ninja Tune), Blue Daisy (Black Acre), Rob Smith (Smith and Mighty), Komonasmuk (h.e.n.c.h), Om Unit (Terrorrhythm), Dobie,dj para (breakin bread), Moneyshot (Solid Steel radio/Ninja Tune), Grillo (Bubblegumbeats Italy), Ras Kwame (BBC Radio 1Xtra)
