Amen to that! Ben's an outstanding DJ - a real breath of fresh air. I saw him play a few months back and it was very apparent to me that I'd never seen anyone with a style like his. As John points out, he's very hip-hop influenced in the mix, but he's pretty subtle with it too - definitely one to watch.... and whilst I agree with John about the 'tracky' techno comedown, Sims certainly knows what buttons to push on the dancefloor with his productions.

Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2000 18:19:42 +0100 I saw Ben Sims play this Friday at the Silo in Belgium. Keep your eye on this guy. He is really brilliant behind the decks. Clearly his hiphop past is reflected in his mixing. I saw him do stuff I've never seen a dj do before. Really cool. Although I'm coming down a bit from this hard looped techno this was still exciting. His productions are more than everage as well, to say the least of it. Oh, btw, he's working on a new album right now. It should be released through Tresor later this year.
