And a LOT of Prince…https://linktr.ee/KerryJeanLister
BENJI B sees the glass half full. His enthusiasm for the massive energy release and experimentation that will emerge from the pandemic is more than just blind optimism; it's faith in the fact that over the course of his career, he notes change as the essential precursor to the greatest creative moments and movements. Seeing music as the outpouring of new groups/scenes of people evolving together, B describes what it's like to live in the pulse of the music of the moment, panning for the gold of today, while regularly stopping to pinch himself in the realization that he has the best job in the world. Following a compass built on old records that moved the dial, B shares a few touch points from his life of exploring sounds. Walking around with a brain full of music is B's reality - the moodboard from his mind emerging like the labyrinth of a spider web with the texture of an orchestra.
This week is a full tour of deep house! Check out the show! With featured alums from Broken Beat compilation Breaking The Beats a Dave Lee comp of Broken Beat sounds and Benji B's new comp of his label Deviation Classic's worth checking out! Normally we list the releases but this week - just listen and enjoy! DEEP HOUSE AT ITS FINEST!

In the current episode of the Telekom Electronic Beats Podcast, host Jakob Thoene talks to British DJ, producer and radio presenter Benjamin Benstead alias Benji B. The Brit is known worldwide for his BBC radio shows and deep, as well as eclectic, DJ sets. In addition to his radio shows, he has been playing DJ sets at his London party series Deviation Nights since 2007. Benji B learned to play the saxophone and developed a passion for records at an early age. In the podcast, he explains the role of radio in his musical education and the significance of this medium to him. He also gives exclusive insights into his new compilation Deviation Classics, which celebrates the legacy of the legendary London club night series and the record label founded by Benji B and Judah in 2007. The compilation covers various music genres and is planned to be released in spring 2021. In this interview he explains the role his audience played in the selection of the tracks and shares his idea of interdisciplinarity. He talks about the changed perception of music in combination with other arts and about his work with creative people from various disciplines, such as Kanye West or Virgil Abloh. In his opinion, the task of art is to merge and learn from one another rather than to compete with each other.

Age 27 and already a tech entrepreneur (as you know, he built live DJ streaming service, Chew.tv, into a 500k community and sold it to BandLab), Ben Bowler built the SendMusic app from scratch while also undertaking an incredible 2-year solo bike ride around the world. Armed only with a laptop and mobile phone for testing, he cycled 23,000km alone across the world, experiencing different cultures, incredible high and lows, physical and mental challenges and more, until his adventure was prematurely ended by Covid-19 and an emergency flight home from Java Island. As a tech-savvy individual, Ben has created a must-watch vlog charting his journey with some stunning footage and insights into the adventure of a lifetime. You can check it out here: www.benbowler.com. In this podcast, Ben gives his insights into why he and co-founder Kemal Mermutlu (BBC Radio 1 - Producer of Diplo & Friends) decided to build SendMusic. What problems they identified within the unreleased music eco-system, and what changes they hope SendMusic can make to industry working practices.
