Plaze

Plaze combines the soothing but haunting vocals of Plum (Summer Rain Recordings), with dark synth basslines and turntable trickery from Ben Phaze (Beat Feast Collective). Guitars and live percussion meet electronic beats and vinyl scratching, looped and effected to create a unique blend of cheerful/sinister electronic/acoustic music
"Sounded, looked and felt unique and extraordinary...see you on Jools Holland in a year"
Gerry Farrell
"The live set was mindblowing. I have listened to the myspace tracks, but it really has to be experienced live to be fully appreciated. Amazing"
Tanis Grandison
"The foot tapping, smile inducing sounds of Happy Beat received an enthusiastic burst of spontaneous applause from the audience which can only be found when each and every person in the crowd gets what it is that an artist is trying to do. The blend of styles from Ben Phaze and Plum have created a sound that is almost a study of human emotion; from a dark look at our need for revenge, to a playful bounce through the brighter side of life. The contrasting nature of the set makes an interesting listen and their use of beats and samples has created a distinctive sound that is instantly recognizable and blends the set together perfectly"
Rachel Mouat

"You are actually quite talented"
