Press release:

#FEELINGS is proud to unleash its 9th digital release, label boss Ben Aqua’s debut album “Virtual Anticipation”. Over 3 years in the making, this full-length album presents 12 high energy, melody-driven cyber-synth sonic jewels spanning a myriad of musical influences, ranging from Frédéric Chopin to Wendy Carlos to Yellow Magic Orchestra to Sega Genesis to Timbaland to RP Boo. “Virtual Anticipation” culminates Ben Aqua’s conceptual celebration and psychological investigation into the future of IRL vs URL identity, HD biometrics, wearable technology and the virtual utopian landscape. Where do we go from here?

In the past year, Austin-based multidisciplinary artist Ben Aqua pumped out official remixes for YACHT, STRFKR and Feathers, as well as a successful, viral mashup of Aaliyah and Ciara entitled “Are You That Somebody’s Body Party”, which VICE Thump featured in their list of top 10 Ciara “Body Party” remixes. Ben’s music was also recently featured in Interview Magazine, Mishka and Lil Texas' Diplo &amp; Friends mix for BBC Radio 1. He shared a SXSW 2013 Music Festival stage with The Crystal Method, as well as club bills with DJ Rashad, NGUZUNGUZU, Bok Bok, Kingdom, Sepalcure, Jubilee and Pictureplane.

#FEELINGS is proud to present its 16th digital release: Ben Aqua’s “Don’t Play Dumb” single. This 4th release on #FEELINGS by label boss Ben Aqua is a maniacally playful, yet ecstatically dark and cybernetic nod to Detroit & Chicago-style techno and ghetto-tech. Aqua’s raw, pitched down vocal hook initiates a frantic call-and-response mind game against crunchy, minimal acid synths and distorted 808s that evoke the spirits of club legends DJ Godfather, DJ Assault, and DJ Rashad.

In 2010, Ben Aqua informally self-released a primitive version of “Don’t Play Dumb” via Bandcamp. The track gathered support from club music innovators such as Girl Unit, and was featured on the Goon Club Allstars’ “Layers” mix for DIS Magazine in 2014. A year later, Ben realized the irony of how human creatures like to “play dumb”, regardless of how “smart” their technology is. These #feelings spawned his decision to re-edit and polish up “Don’t Play Dumb” for a fresh 2015 release.

“Don’t Play Dumb” arrives about one year after Ben Aqua’s notoriously controversial Resident Advisor RA.434 podcast of 2014, which sparked an intense critical discourse on the state of internet-inspired club and electronic music, aka the “online underground”. A few months after the RA podcast drama cloud cleared up (somewhat), Ben performed alongside SOPHIE and A. G. Cook of PC Music - two prominent co-conspirators of the “online underground” - at the official Resident Advisor SXSW 2015 Showcase. More recently, Ben’s work has been featured in FACT Magazine, The FADER, VICE Thump, and Nest HQ.

"'Reset Yourself' is a sharp, sexy and strange song that maintains the perfect speed for a futuristic catwalk. The tuneful track packs an element of surprise while maintaining its strategy, a chic, low-pitched vocal driving the song forward as topsy-turvy synths and snares help build its vigor."&#13;
