Ben Evans

Ben Evans's musical journey has been one hell of a ride, leading him onto a path that is only progressing upward to spectacular heights. After discovering a small record shop in Hawthorn, his heart was stolen away by the combination of powerful, melodic beauty and driving bass in trance and since then has dedicated his energy and love to it. From that moment on, his appreciation for dance music has evolved and Ben has developed his own unique djing style which fuses tribal, techy, progressive and melodic sounds driven by rhythmic drums.From modest beginnings, Ben has accelerated ahead of the others and left his musical imprint upon huge mainroom crowds, to intimate underground regulars, playing seamless and exciting sets alongside the likes of Martin Roth, John 00 Fleming, Gareth Emery, Mark Norman, Christopher Lawrence, Sean Tyas, Kyau & Albert, and Andy Moor, just to name a few. Ben's regular residencies in several Melbourne clubs helps feed the fans succulent tastings of Ben's aural delights, playing fresh tunes amongst underrated classics with dynamic flair. His major influences include Sander van Doorn, Paul van Dyk, Infected Mushroom, Astral Projection, Simon Posford Nu-NRG, John 00 Flemming and M.I.K.E.As the founder of the infamous Interview parties, Ben and his strong team of friends have helped rebuild the Melbourne progressive/trance scene and now has a huge committed, passionate following. Interview has grown so much now that the crew have run several breathtaking events loaded with sensory-tickling sound and lightshows at Brown Alley, attracting hundreds and hundreds of people begging for more. Ben and the Interview crew have also collaborated with Gatecrasher at Metro Nightclub, Pharmacy at Metro and Palace Nightclub, PUSH, Element, Ground Zero, Bass Station, as well as a plethora of other successful events in the past. His heart-stopping, mainroom set at Gatecrasher was re-hashed for those who wanted to relive the amazing moment on Syn FM, and Ben also has a fortnightly radio program coming soon on Mixsd FM.At the tender age of 22, Ben's skills and dedication have taken him a long way in the short space of a year and a half, and things are getting bigger, better and brighter for the talented young man. Grab a firm hold of something before hearing Ben play, because his sets will take you and your breath away. -chrissy
