BEN SIMS: EKSPOZICIJA 08: ESCAPISM Pt.2
cat. no.: EXPLICITCD008
format: CD / digital download
release date: 4th February 2008
distribution: Intergroove /www.intergroove.de/
The latest installment in the 'Ekspozicija' mix-CD series is very special: we at Explicit/Matrix Music are especially proud to be able to work with one of the greatest UK techno DJs – BEN SIMS. The new CD, subtitled 'Escapism Pt. 2 is the
long-awaited follow up to Ben's first ever proper mix CD from 2002 and was scheduled for release on Carl Cox's Intec imprint but due to the label's closure we're lucky enough to have it ourselves along with an updated tracklisting. It's a finely cut-up blend of no less than 41 tracks, more than a quarter of which are Ben's own, some of them as yet unreleased, or from his own labels. Some tracks have also been re-edited or re-mastered especially for this CD.
Ben is a DJ in the true sense of the word: using the (modern and traditional) DJ tools he took ready-made bits and pieces of the greatest tracks he could find and created something completely new, a new epic piece made of funk power, acid basslines, dub effects, raw ghetto-tech, the purest techno and various other tweaky ingredients. He threw everything into his grinder and worked his magic: the result is as fantastic as it can be. It just doesn't let go or allow to drift away, just relentless in-your-face beats and sweaty fun on the dancefloor. A fast, furious and super-funky set that is definitely not suitable for the faint-hearted and the one that you will want to play over and over.
Could Ben Sims be the saviour of techno? Check it out and decide for yourself…
