Groove Pleasure presents Ben Sims
Known as the '3 deck master', 'the human ableton' and 'the machine', Ben
Sims had his first decks at age ten. Schooled on mix tapes by the likes of
Bambaata, DJ Cheese and Froggy, and with his musical roots in reggae, funk, disco, electro, rare groove and hip-hop, by his mid teens he was spinning at after-hours 'blues' houses and a few years later came the acid house explosion with pirate radio and clubs.
Ben Sims productions have gained widespread attention and feature regularly in the boxes of his own personal heroes like Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Jeff Mills and Rolando, whilst also attracting crossover appeal from the likes of Carl Cox etc. He has remixed Jeff Mills, Green Velvet, Blake Baxter, DJ Funk, Marco Bailey, Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer plus many more and has had his tracks and remixes featured on mix cds by Robert Hood, Francois Kevorkian, DJ Rush, Joey Beltram, Dave Clarke, Umek, Luke Slater, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin and hundreds more.
On the 5th November @ Corsica Studios in London Ben will be playing for Socialeyes and Tilted Disco alongside The Advent (live), Mark Broom and Steve Strawberry with Justin Robertson, Robin Ball & Colin Dale in room 2
