Enjoyed this set yesterday while soldering. Good good set. That thumbnail image is epic too. What an honor.

I agree and totally relate with everything you've said about Labyrinth Ben, I feel blessed to have experienced it myself let alone played there. You're fortunate to have been twice! Checking the mix....

Holy Shit I can't believe I found this live set!! I was there!! Thank you!!

Before there was Soundcloud I posted my sets on a London-based electronic music discussion group called "4four."  Around February 2007 I posted a set there from a guest spot I did on Frisky Radio.  The next month I received an email from a promoter in Japan who asked if I was interested in coming there to play.  Well of course I was very interested but I don't hold my breath on such offers, knowing that one pans out for maybe every 4 that don't.

This one panned out fantastically well into a weeklong trip to Japan and the most amazing festival experience and dj experience of my life!  From the friendly people that picked me up at Narita airport to the dance marathon (most I have danced in my life) over 3 days and nights and a lineup that included Adam Beyer, Minilogue, Three, Donato Dozzy, Dave Mothersole, D-Nox, Alex Smoke, Aril Brikha, Cobblestone Jazz, Surgeon, Ryan Elliot and more, to the final days hanging out together in Tokyo, this trip was a life-changing experience.  It was right after the first Tropical campout and totally inspired me to keep doing Tropical in an outdoor setting.  Can't say enough about it, how well it was organized, how well the artists were treated, how amazing the crowd was, or the 48-cabinet Funktion One Sound system that tickled our ears.  An absolute delight!

So getting booked here both in 2007 and 2008 as a very underground - ie less famous - artist than pretty much every other international dj on the bill is one of my top life accomplishments :)  I think I am overall a much better dj in 2013 than in 2007 but this was a party I went all out in my preparation for and I would still be proud to play this set today.  

Timing-wise this was around 4am-6am Sunday morning, I think my set was actually 3am-6am but the first hour did not get recorded.  I played after Surgeon, and before Aril Brikha, through the sunrise, with the first part in darkness and last hour in light, you will feel the change in the music I'm sure :)

Enjoy this set from the most enjoyable party imaginable :)

@conforce aka Versalife is a restless producer residing in Rotterdam, Holland, who is forever keen to search out new techniques, tools and sounds for the various musical projects in which he is involved. Continually flirting with a range of genres like techno, ambient techno, electro and house on numerous EPs and LPs, he also operates in sonic territory that has no easily identifiable name. As one of the most prolific artists in the scene over the last 10 years, he has become an essential voice in the often crowded conversation: he is someone who always speaks clearly and captivatingly and has done so via more than ten full length albums and more than 30 EPs on labels like @delsinrecords, @clone-nl, @2020visionrecordings, @echocord and his own label @transcendent-records. With this performances he focusses on musical content rather than equipment. The digital/analogue dichotomy of his productions spread into these sets, always stressing the importance of the human element without shying away from technology’s advances at the same time as marrying genuine emotional depth with dance floor compatibility.
"A solitary Conforce release can never be described as predictable, with each unknown entity having the potential to take you on an emotional rollercoaster or a primal abandon" — @inverted-audio
"Impeccably-crafted techno that maintains bite in its grooves even while the textures spiral into the ether." - @bleep_bot

Mosaic Mix Series 003 - Ben Buitendijk

Another year has passed, another mix is done. Only Kontra tracks and focusing on the more esoteric side of the label.

Ulf Eriksson [Kontra-Musik] - So Zen Kontra mix (recorded 2018)

For the full track listing click here: https://bleep.com/features/bleep-mix-97--carsten-jost

This mix is a homage to the Changing Weather Nights at the Golden Pudel Club in Hamburg that were established by Carsten Jost (@david_lieske) and Lawrence (@lawrence_dial) around the turn of the millennium. Coinciding with the founding of their record label Dial (that turns 20 this year) these weekly club-nights served as the main place of musical experimentation and social interaction for the label and its artists which greatly informed what was later described as the "Dial Sound". The mix is a loose interpretation of a memory of that specific atmosphere at Changing Weather Nights without exclusively limiting itself to music that was produced at this very moment in time.

Biography:

In his zone from deep house to techno, Ben Annand pairs impeccably smooth mixing skills with a dynamic style that keeps the music moving, artfully playing with breakdowns and spending most of his time in the mix.

“For me, a great mix is the interplay of 2 unique pieces of music, creating something greater than the sum of the parts - and a great set weaves those mixes into a musical flow you can’t help but lose yourself in on the dance floor.”

Ben fell in love with dancing and rave culture in 1995, and learned to mix in 1996. Just 2 years later he became resident dj at the famed Moontribe Gathering, and started his own production company, Tropical. The first half of his career was mostly focused on DJing abroad, with 13 trips to Moscow’s Propaganda club, travel across Russia, Spain, and Mexico, an appearance at Wiggle at Fabric in London and two at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan.  

In more recent years, Ben Annand became a top West Coast festival DJ, and recently played a standout set at his 5th consecutive Lightning in a Bottle (CA). He has also appeared at Sunset Campout and Desert Hearts (CA), Oregon Eclipse (OR), Photosynthesis and Cascadia (WA), Shambhala and Motion Notion (BC, Canada).

As organizer of Tropical, he's donated over $32,000 to charity, hosted zero-waste events in Hawaii, and presented gender-balanced dj lineups.

Whatever his project,, Ben Annand is always contributing, and always thinking outside the box.
