Ben Stevens
Regarded by many of his peers as a technical genius on the wheels of steel, beatmaster Ben has become one of the most in-demand hard house DJs in Britain, with regular slots at high-profile events such as Frantic, Polysexual, Creamfields and the Tidy Weekenders.
Chances are the first time you heard the name of Ben Stevens, it was none other than Paul Glazby tipping the aspiring DJ for the top.
And in the half a decade or so since he first grabbed the attention of the revered Vicious Circle head honcho, Stevens has never had any problem living up to such high expectations.
Glazby’s faith in the youngster saw him land pivotal roles in the development of the Vicious Circle stable, both in A&R and event management, and as a result Stevens has a sense of professionalism that belies his 28 years.
Regarded by many of his peers as a technical genius on the wheels of steel, beatmaster Ben has become one of the most in-demand hard house DJs in Britain, with regular slots at high-profile events such as Frantic, Polysexual, Creamfields and the Tidy Weekenders.
Ben has enjoyed many bookings in Ireland and Europe, including arguably the best festival on the continent – Dance Valley in Amsterdam.
With tours of Australia (Adelaide), Canada (Edmonton and Calgary) and New Zealand (Auckland and Christchurch) under his belt, the acclaimed DJ’s international profile is consistently growing, and it was given a great boost when he deservedly scooped the illustrious Mixmag Future Hero gong at the Hard Dance Awards in 2006.
The gifted youngster has also found time to hone his skills in the studio, now producing all his own music and engineering tracks for some of hard dance’s biggest stars.
Some of the UK’s other leading labels have also secured his services: Tidy, Flashpoint, Toolbox and Tripoli Trax among them.
Ben has spent much of the past couple of years laying the foundations for the next phase of his career – his own Fireball Recordings label. Fireball has hit the top of the sales charts on the download sites and has been a massive hit with other dj’s.
The new label kicked off with the seismic Stevens double-header ‘The Warning’/’Supergroover’, a really strong package which sets dancefloors alight and reminds you how diverse and entertaining that hard house can be. Now on their 80th release the label has gone from strength to strength.
The abilities and talents of Ben Stevens are without question: whether producing tunes or playing them, he knows exactly how to work a dancefloor and raise the roof off a club.
