Ben UFO embodies all the weird and wonderful aspects of music. Over the years he has introduced us to unfamiliar and cutting-edge sounds, new and old, whilst staying true to his unassumingly superior DJ ability.
As one of the co-creators of Hessle Audio, Ben holds an influence over artists, DJ’s, promoters (certainly us) and beyond. It is not a surprise he stands alongside the greats year by year and of course, has continued to prove his dominance with an esteemed range of UK selectors.
Whether it be bossa rhythm, 140 dubstep, intergalactic techno or a booster of UKG for good measure. This Friday we once again invite the dance-floor enchanter for an all night long set of twists and turns. So to get us warmed up here is our 5 stand out Ben UFO mixes.
1. Truancy Volume 100: Ben UFO
On the back of his Fabric ‘Hall of Fame’ induction, this mix is a perfect display of Bens varied record collection and mixing ability. Taking us throughout the BPMS, genres and moods. Minute by minute you are drawn deeper and deeper into Ben UFO’s world.
2. Ben UFO b2b Joy O- Recorded at XOYO in August 2019 (Calibre Residency)
Two juggernauts of modern-day music come together for a special b2b. If you know, you know.
3. Ben UFO - Untitled A (The Trilogy Tapes) 2010
This was a limited edition cassette tape, consisting of 2 mixes by the wizard himself. Lock in for a journey through abstract sounds, UKG, Grime, House and techno.
4. Ben UFO b2b Helena Hauff, Sónar Festival, Barcelona 2017.
This is perhaps one of the most unlikely yet threatening duos in dance music. We’ll let the music speak for itself on this one.
5. Ben UFO | Boiler Room x Dekmantel 2019
We can’t talk about Ben UFO without mentioning one of the most influential underground dance music festivals to grace the world. So here it is, that unforgettable Boiler Room. Load up and listen out for tracks by Champion, Fango, Special Request and of course the tune of that summer DJ Bogdan – Love Inna Basement (Midnite XTC).
We look forward to connecting with you, whether you’re a bedroom mixtape dancer or at World Headquarters with the man himself this weekend.
