LISTEN TO MR BENN LIVE MIX HERE! ...
Two and a half hour of reggae, hip hop, soul, funk mash up sunshine niceness recorded in the square outside Cafe Leopold in Vienna on the afternoon of 26/05/07... Big ups to Didi and crew!
---------------------------------------------------------
My DJ sets are an uncompromising blend of proper party music - Hip Hop, Reggae, Disco, Funk, Afro Soul, and anything else with a good groove. I throw in plenty of different styles to keep it fresh, with the aim of keeping the crowd on their toes and expectant! I like to include my own productions and mash-ups in the mix, all of which are created with the dancefloor very much in mind...
I play regularly at various Bristol venues, and have also played further afield at parties around the country, Bestival 2005, and WOMAD festivals in Spain, Singapore and the UK. I currently have a residency at the Tube in Bristol, playing alongside Daddy G (Massive Attack) and Queen Bee (Massive Attack Tour DJ).
My mix CD 'Square One Sound Part II' was aired on Ninja Tune's Solid Steel radio show. You can listen to it here or on the player above...
I write and produce my own music and am signed to Leisure Recordings, who released the 'Mr Benn' EP - a 12" featuring my tunes 'Take It Back' and 'The Jump' - in April 2005. They also released my tune "Trubble" in November 2006, which features a remix from mash up man-about-town Jstar.
I promote a club night in Bristol called Square One. Past guests include Afrika Bambaataa, The Unabombers, Soul Jazz Soundsystem, Mark Rae, Luke Vibert, The Nextmen, Dub Cartel Soundsystem, Fat City Recordings, JSTAR, Blood & Fire Soundsystem, and DJ Derek.
Me and Elly (Square One) programmed Club WOMAD at WOMAD Rivermead last year, and will be doing it again this year - check our website www.squareonesound.com for line up details...
