PARTY BEN BIO

In 2005, Party Ben teamed up with Australian Team9 to produce the Green Day mashup album
American Edit under the pseudonym Dean Gray. The album eventually received a 5-star rating from the
San Francisco Chronicle as well as a cease-and-desist order from Green Day's label.Party Ben has been featured as Spin.com’s “Artist of the Day," and has been profiled in the Oakland Tribune, the Washington Post, and LA's CityBeat.Party Ben is a resident DJ at Club Bootie , the first (and still the biggest) all-mashup club night in the US, currently bi-monthly at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco.
