The loop-based sets that Ben plays aren't really a good indication of his skills. His knowledge of electronic music is very wide and he is definitely one of the most technically skilled DJs on the circuit, but I agree that this doesn't make a whole set of loops very interesting. You should hear him play sometime when he's covering a broader range. It's incredible. http://www.bensims.com used to have some older mixes on it, including a 313-based one. Not sure if they're still up there...
