About
Ben, from Sydney, spends half his year in Ibiza as resident DJ for We Love Space Sundays. He has also played at Pacha (Ibiza), Wonderland at Eden, T Bar (London), The Key (London), The Cross (London), The End (London), Weekend (Berlin), Mullet Over (after party), Angels Of Love (Naples), Stink (London) and many more. Ben was voted No.1 in Australia's very first national DJ poll, the AUS DJ Top 20. When Inthemix.com.au then started their National 50 the following year, Ben was voted No. 7 in the country.
Ben has released a mix comp for the respected Balance series, titled "Electric 03", currently receiving rave reviews including 5 Dancing Men from DMC Review and Album of the Week from Brag (Australia). He's now making his first foray into music production.
