sheffield based musician, dj and producer

about me

My names Ben, and I am a skilled dj, producer and multi instrumentalist based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. I’ve been working in and around the electronic music scene in the city right back from when I started secondary school. I landed my first club gig when I was just 14 years old, and I’ve never looked back! I’ve released my own productions which have gone on to gain approval from the likes of Nick Warren, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy and Ralph Lawson, and I have enjoyed a variety of session work providing artists with brass instrument parts for their productions. This is just the start of my journey, and I look forward to all that the future has to bring…

some of my work

Here’s a very small collection of tracks and mixes which I have been involved with, enjoy!

ebb and flow – mix recorded in July 2023

Have a listen to my latest mix on soundcloud – ‘ebb and flow’.

Ambience is positioned next to dance floor orientated compositions to create an immersive musical journey of peaks and troughs… I’ve always loved the more melodic and spaced out side of electronic music.

MAKS – North (Citizens of Vice)

This is perhaps my most successful release, and it’s a downtempo tune with strong sonic references to music from the early and mid 90s.

The original mix is released next to two stunning remixes from fellow Sheffielder ‘Yarni’, and Canary Islands based producer ‘Sauco’.

Guestmix for FLOCK (Sheffield)

I was honoured to have been asked to record a mix for south yorkshire based party starters, FLOCK. Again, my signature use of beatless compositions helps to establish emotion in this hour long exploration of melodically focused electronic music.

Connor Byrne – Perdu a Paris (MAKS & Denizens Remix)

I teamed up with Ayrshire based DJ and producer Denizens to reimagine Connor’s hard hitting techno banger into something a little more melodic and progressive, but still dominated by percussion in the form of edgy processed breaks samples…
