The set which T is referring to was excellent and Im looking forward to DL this mix, we were suppose to record it but had some probs with the MP3 recorder so it never got done, Ben was a bit gutted which is why this mix has been done.
He is doing a chi town set at this party on the 16th- http://www.retro-vert.com/ may be some disco as well.

I heard him play a set with a similar crate a few months ago, which really blew me away. I certainly formed some really narrow and inaccurate perceptions about his musical interests when I first explored the music he makes and a couple of his DJ sets in the late '90s (which I enjoyed but weren't very broad), but over the last few years his bookings at Retrovert and Split (and what is played on the Split radio show) have opened my eyes a lot. The similar set I heard was definitely one of the highlights of my year, so I thought I'd pass this eagerly-awaited recording on, as his name pops up occasionally, and generally not always in the frame I think he deserves: http://www.splitmusic.net/gallery.asp.
