It doesn’t seem to matter where he plays - Bentley’s ability to read a crowd and deliver a dance floor friendly set is always evident. With one set never being the same Bentley refuses to be pigeonholed into any one genre. Crossing everything from Beats to Breaks, Global to Funk, hip hop to house, drum n bass to soul, Jazz to Baltimore, as long as its quality, Bentley can be found playing it.
