About Me


Short bio:
Ben Brown was born in Indianapolis, USA in 1983 to a family of modest means. With his father in the computing industry and his mother being somewhat of a musician, it seemed inevitable that Ben would get into some kind of trouble with computers and music. His youth consisted of the usual childhood activities but music and its various influences left the greatest impression upon him.
Fast forward to the fall of 2006 when Ben moved to Chicago, both to pursue an graduate degree and also to engross himself in a thriving progressive, trance, and house music scene. Along with a hectic schedule of graduate school and work at a 9-to-5, Ben found instant success with his music, getting booked for gigs at a number of Chicago’s finest dance music venues, showcasing his unique style of progressive house. His initial impression on the scene proved to be an outstanding one and as a result of growing acclaim both as a DJ and Producer, Ben was asked to begin his tenure as a resident at Chicago’s biggest name for dance music, Vision Nightclub.
Producing since the age of 17, Ben developed a diverse sound that captures elements from all realms of dance music and beyond. His remixes, originals, and bootlegs began hitting public ears in early 2007, garnering support from DJs across the globe, including heavy hitters like Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, 16 Bit Lolitas, Ferry Corsten, Sultan,Above and Beyond, The Flash Brothers, Kenneth Thomas, Blake Jarrell, Solarstone,Kosmas Epsilon, Eelke Kleijn, Rowan Blades, and countless more.
