BEN SIMS
(Theory/Ingoma) London /UK
Ben Sims got his first set of turntables aged ten. Immersed in pirate radio and mix-tape culture, he'd hunted down recordings from home and abroad. The States offered Levan, Cash Money, DJ Cheese, Red Alert, Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash. The UK gave him Froggy, Westwood, Jah Shaka and Hardrock Soul Movement.He was spinning at friends' parties and after-hours 'blues' houses by his mid-teens, and a few years later he played a key role in giving the emergent warehouse movement a distinct voice - the pirate station Atmosphere FM. Government policy would deal rave a succession of concussive blows, but it moved into clubs and Ben moved with it.
Having become a DJ of repute, Sims was soon recruited by top agency Dynamix, which resulted in his international DJ career really taking off. He quickly proved a renowned, reliable guest and, like many UK DJs, became accustomed to flying out of the country each weekend. Supported by resilient clubs - Atomic Jam, Orbit, System, Voodoo, Ultimate Base and Open to Torture - his case was indicative of the Techno scene in general; largely marginalised and left to its own electronic devices. Reports of his three-deck mixing and energetic appearances began to decorate bulletin boards, pulse-taking publications and infiltrate chat-rooms. His talent has since been recognised by peers and punters alike, and although his productions are developed beyond DJ tools, it's time behind the decks that shapes a distinct, individual sound.
Ben Sims operates five labels, and has employed a definite function for each. Hardgroove describes his core sound - funky at the centre, tough and hard at the edges. Always eager to 'road-test' studio work, in-set acetates quickly become Hardgroove releases if they have suitable impact on the dancefloor. Sister label, Ingoma, focuses on more tribal-infused material, but adopts similar quality control. Theory is a fluid concern, a 'mother label' capable of shifting in style, while Symbolism captures personal, mood-inspired tracks. Onetime side-project Native has evolved too, becoming a home for free-formed, melodic electronica.
In a genre that propagates soundalikes, Ben Sims' production has attracted widespread attention and has seen it's far share of copycat productions. He's been acknowledged by contemporaries as creating a positive Techno style-shift, his work supported by a broad cross-section of DJs and is regularly featured in the boxes of his own personal heroes like Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Jeff Mills, etc. in addition to almost all of the high profile techno jocks on the worldwide circuit.
He has remixed Green Velvet, Blake Baxter and Adam Beyer and alongside many upcoming projects he has a forthcoming artist album on the forward-thinking UK label Peacefrog. "I think my music has progressed but essentially the concepts and ideas behind each label are still the same. Simply put, it's just a reflection of what I'm into, what I play, or what I want to support. Each label has its own reason for existing and each is linked to the others through the concept, the music or the artists involved. I don't like being the product, and I never want my labels to solely rely on my music. I enjoy making it and trying to push that Hardgroove-sound, rhythmic body music or just re-creating that warehouse vibe, but my thing is mixing, DJing and collecting vinyl. It's my escapism, what I do. I love the energy of mixing and there's so much you can add to a set or CD or show to enhance it. My studio productions are essentially just an extension of what I do on the decks, I'm a DJ first and foremost."
The past 6 years have seen Ben attempt world domination, constantly touring and tearing up dancefloors at legendary clubs/parties like Liquid Room (Tokyo), Sonar (Barcelona), Awakenings (Amsterdam), Aria (Montreal), Limelight (NYC), Rex (Paris), La Real (Oviedo), Deliruim (Perth), Metropolis (Sofia), Circuito (Sao Paulo), Zouk (Singapore), U60 (Frankfurt), I love Techno (Belguim) Loft (Switzerland), Shine (Belfast) Florida (Fraga), Family (Toledo), Tresor (Berlin), Rockets (Osaka), Wet (Melbourne) plus hundreds of others proving him to be one of today's most requested DJs and among the UK's finest exports. His two mix CDs to date "Theory of Interpretation" (Theory) and "Escapism Part One" (Primal Rhythms/Fine Audio) have both received wide praise and pushed the boundaries of an increasingly tired format, yet Ben is still surprisingly ambitious and feels there's many more goals to reach.
Ben has recently upgraded his sets by playing a lot of unreleased hot material on two additional CDJs, in true Killa Bite manner making use of tracks as tools. This, alongside his standard three turntables and amazing mixing skills, makes his sets a very unique and intense experience and Sims is without a doubt one of the best and most versatile DJs world-wide !!!
