Ape Music was established in 2006, by Ben & Lex, from the ashes of the successful south west club night of the same name. After nearly ten years as residents at ‘Beatz & Bobz‘ (one of the country’s longest running breaks nights) and at ‘Ape’ and having had many releases on other labels such as Functional, Silo, Drum & Breaks and Wut Eva to name a few. Ben & Lex are no strangers to what makes a good tune so they decided it was time for them to get out there and start their own label.

Just like their Dj sets, as anyone who has been lucky enough to see them play knows, Ape Music will not be confined to one style of breaks (or even genres) but will encompass everything from funky to techy to tearout and out the other side!

The only criteria is the quality. And as they put it. “Well, I’d play it!”

Born out of the ashes of the massively successful 'Ben & Lex Live!' tour last year with the mighty Dub Pistols comes the new group project from the duo.

A project based around their love of  writing large beats, proper songs and heavy bass! The duo officially team up with the incredible vocalist Lydia Kaye and their long-time live MC Jay Tuns to form the core of the group – Simian Frenzy . The project has already seen them work with legends of UK Hip Hop Rodney P and Million Dan, the Reggae superstar Earl 16, along with friends from across the pond & UK number one artist Lex One (Wizard Sleeve) and Brian Breach as well as the incredibly talented songwriters Ashley Slater (FreakPower) and Scarlett Quinn.
