For Those That Knoe

This is the full recording of my set at Field Maneuvres near Oxford. I was over the moon to be asked to play in the Field Moves tent run by the Night Moves posse and top eggs Jade Seatle and Jane Fitz. The tent ran from Friday evening all the way through till late Sunday. Incredible stuff end to end and some amazing sets by some great DJs supported by lots of lovely people there to DANCE.

Live @ Field Maneuvres (Field Moves Tent)

This summer-fresh installment of the Avenue Red Podcast series comes from London-based DJ, producer and label-owner Ben Parkinson, AKA Ben Boe to those in the Knoe! His Boe Recordings label has gathered some seriously high-grade moss since it's inception back in 2008 with a juggernaught discography of releases from heavy-hitters and underground talents including Burnski; KiNK; Leif; Iron Curtis; Kris Wadsworth and Nick Lawson to select a few. There is a new release coming from Anaxander on 11th August on limited 12" vinyl called Travelogues EP: soundcloud.com/boerecordings/sets/anaxander-travelogues, which also features a remix from Ben himself. We advise keeping a diary entry for that!

Last year Ben also opened a secondary tube line with a sub-label called For Those That Knoe - in Ben's own words... "For Those That Knoe is a House and Techno label from the UK focusing on under the radar tracks recorded by unsung heroes, ripped from dusty DATs and lovingly re-mastered and pressed onto vinyl for like-minded people and music collectors alike". Just the kind of project that Avenue Red has got full support for.

You can catch Ben playing at the intimate and rather intriguing Field Maneuvers festival at the end of August that is held "in a beautiful riverside location 60 minutes outside of London" (unspecified). But as a precursor to that, dive into this mix from the man himself. An all-vinyl mix that is a diverse and nutritious stew of house, techno and electro that will leave even the most hungry and connoisseur-like music heads out there feeling fulfilled and coming back for seconds and thirds, no doubt! Enjoy the mix people, we certainly did.

Parts of my set recorded live at O Galop on a glorious Sunday afternoon and evening in sunny Marseille. It was an incredible party with a friendly and up for it crowd, hence me throwing down stuff a little more up front than usual. PARTY VIBES. The recording had a couple of problems at the start and in the middle section so I've uploaded from about 30mins in and the last 2 hours.

Hope you enjoy!

Ben Boe Live @ O Galop (Extend & Play)

It's coming up to nearly four years since we had Ben Boe, along with Nick Lawson in the saddle at one of our Dialogue parties, they took us on a 8 hour ride with some fantastic music that we won't forget in a long time, it was a special night!

Ben is back sharing music with us again, (thank you Ben!!) but this time with a special podcast to take us into November. Deep, dark and dirty, this mix is really fitting as a little TREAT for the ears on All Hallows Eve. Here's what Ben had to say about this mix...

"I wanted to record a mix that reflects where my head is at right now. It's similar to some of the music I played at Field Maneuvres this year, although I only played one of the records there that made it into this mix. It's ended coming out a bit dark which suits the time of year I guess! It's definitely on a moody tip, maybe one for a hazy afters. I managed to squeeze in a couple of label tracks which I don't normally tend to do, so I'm quite happy how they feature in this mix. I hope you enjoy it."

"Ben has spent the last two decades immersed within the UK electronic music scene and has managed to forge a musical identify of his own from the early days of seeking out breakbeat tapes as a teenager to garnishing influence from the US house sounds of Hard Times and Back to Basics at the turn of the millennium. Following a move to London, Ben established boe recordings in 2007 and wasted no time in attracting fresh, top-drawer signings. Records from the likes of KiNK, Leif, Anaxander and John Shima have gained support from top-tier jocks including Fred P, Raresh, Mike Huckaby, and François K, with the label garnering a reputation as a stronghold of underground talent; an uncompromising and carefully curated imprint with its own discernible aesthetic. With deep, dancefloor-primed cuts that acknowledge the past while embracing the present, it boasts a coherent and impressive back catalogue.

Ben’s second label For Those That Knoe was minted in 2013, and serves as an outlet for the fruits of his digging-based labour: giving a new lease of life for rare, unreleased and almost forgotten tracks from the unsung heroes of vintage house and techno, including Derek Carr and Casey Tucker. It’s a reissue label that gets the job done properly no rip-off controversies here. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the label’s been a hit with some of the scene’s most respected DJs: Panorama Bar residents Steffi and Virginia are big fans."

Under The Disco Ball Podcast - 025 - Ben Boe (For Those That Knoe)

Absolutely lovely new poddy from one of the pillars of the UK electronic music community. Ben Boe has been curating some seriously sweet releases over the course of the last few years on his For Those That Knoe and Boe Recordings imprints. A devoted collector through and through with an aesthetic and sound that he has made his own, Ben turns in a super slick selection of old and new from across the globe.

BSU 049 - Ben Boe

I played a 3 hour set for Secret Ingredient at Tola in Peckham this month but unfortunately the live recording failed after about 5 tracks in. I was still fresh from the party and decided to recreate the set but condensed into 80 minutes. The first 5 tracks mirror how I started but this time I ventured off on a different path, using a few records that featured on the night and some that I didn't get chance to play. 

Hopefully I've captured the energy of what was a really fun party. It's rare I get chance to record mixes these days so I hope you all enjoy!

Ben boe returns to the For Those That Knoe professionally recorded digital stereo mix series.

"Second-Storey Work"  is an aural metaphor for a swag bag bursting with fully legit gems swiftly half-inched through broken bedroom windows. It a cocktail of deep tekky rollers sprinkled with a smidgin' of jacked up bleeps and some breakbeat wobblers.

Turn that dial to 11.

Second-Storey Work - Ben boe [KNOE MIXX/BB2]

In the early 2000s Derek Carr's notoriety for producing high fidelity techno was understated and unbefitting to the quality of his musical output. In 2016 For Those That Knoe initiated an acclaimed series of EPs which showcased unheard material alongside some long lost vinyl only classics from Derek's archive. Cut to now and the imprint has put together something truly special: a raid on dusty record shelves have been traded for one into the binary world, For Those That Knoe has selected 17 recordings only previously available on the digital format or previously unreleased, now remastered and pressed onto physical form.

Derek Carr - A Future-Retrospective Of Art [KNOE 5/4]

Originally recorded in July 2018, this digital file was unarchived especially for the For Those That Knoe professionally recorded digital stereo mix series.

"Dreem Sequenze" is an intergalactic cerebral trip through aural psychotic states induced by the blending of sparse ambient house rhythms to bubbly tech house from the stratosphere of Pluto.

Turn that dial to 11 and keep it playin' till you hit the surprise jam yo!
