About Me


Hello! :)
Welcome to my profile!
My name is Ben Parker and i'm 18 years old.
I first got into Trance music when I was about 10 years old, after hearing the remix by Ferry Corsten of William Orbit's version of "Adagio for Strings" and the brilliant "Angel" by Ralph Fridge, which I remember hearing in the UK Charts. However it wasn't until about 2004/2005 that I decided to really get more interested in the genre. Then in 2006 I started producing, at first using the Dance eJay 7 program which kinda sucked for what I wanted, so then in 2007 I upgraded to FL Studio 7 on the XXL Edition. After a couple of years on the software I found that I really needed to use a more advanced and versatile program. Therefore, i'm now using Ableton Live 6 for all my production and mixing stuff. I find it has all the tools you need, some very nice plug-ins and some other handy stuff. Additional i'm using various VST plugins such as reFX Nexus, Zebra2, Rob Papen's Predator, z3ta+ and more. :)
So far i've had one release, a collaboration with Russian DJ Ex-Driver. This release called "Turbulence" had great support from the likes of Tiesto and Ferry Corsten!
