Benjamin Shock

I made this track 2 years ago now. Its a real pain how long it takes to get tracks released sometimes. I made it around the time that I signed Bobby Tank and Alizzz to my label MofoHifi, and I guess both those artists influenced my thinking in some way - in the combination of uplifting chordal synth work, an 80s/90s revisited sound pallet, and post-dubstep beats. Though of course other aspects of the track are very different to both those artists.

I like the sense that tracks like this give us of an alternative history of music, like one of those Star Trek episodes where you visit earth on a different fork in the time space continuum - one where in the mid 80s people were using dubstep halftime beats!

You may have noticed now that our album "All These Things Are Gone" is focusing on... things that have gone... from our culture and world, and one thing I really miss from music these days is key changes. The key change is just about the most emotionally affecting tricks a composer can use, but these days they have disappeared from most commercial music (apart from going a semitone up for the last chorus of a boy band song) and are 100% absent from dance music. Supersonic changes key relentlessly and willfully - nearly to the point of being a joke, but not quite.  This keeps me happy! (Also see our track "Heart Of The Night" that has the chorus a semitone out from the verse, for a 'light and shade' effect.)

I have great house tempo mixes of this track in from Louis La Roche and Fire Flowerz and I hope to release those during March.

Theophilus London - I Stand Alone (Gigamesh Sunlight Remix)

Lately Benjamin has been keeping himself busy with a number of projects and we are extremely happy to say he’s returning to the label founded by his long time buddy Gramatik with a brand new track, “So Much Fun”. Brimming with soulfulness the new single again showcases Shock’s extensive experience in the studio, while also packing a punch that is certain to keep the dancefloor moving. He created a vibrant instrumental that was flawless on its own and then decided to give it an edge in the form of a promising young Swedish-via-Slovenia singer Marina Martensson, who added a completely new dimension to the track with her beautifully haunting voice.

@kibosh-music casually shimmies through the multiverse wearing a viking helmet and thong, riding on a shiny industrial time machine vacuum, carefully snorting up all the cool beats and sweet riffs like a laser guided Mr. Snuffleupagus. Once his beat bag is full, off he potters to his intergalactic viking repair shop and cobbles together tracks of double-awesome-happy-times!

Because Scour Records' foundations are built on double-awesome-happy-times we commissioned the construction of space shuttle Orgasmatron - out of toilet roll holders and my little pony glue - and travelled to planet Kibosh to negotiate a deal. The cosmic collector of robots and rainbows very kindly served us up this exceedingly tasty four track EP, plus an accompanying Freemix…and free love, and world peace..but hey, grab this EP first, free love and world peace can be his next two releases.

Scour is over the moon to welcome and present to you the joy that is Kibosh!

Morning Sun (feat. Pat Fulgoni)

Benjamin Shock is a multi-producer, best described with a single adjective: versatile. His profession is his passion and his technical knowledge and skills allow him to excel in any kind of genres he decides to tackle. He is open to new connections, loves cooperating with people and further developing his professional path by discovering new abilities. Even though he is passionate about electronic music,  he works with all kinds of music, including house, techno, funk/disco, chill out, hip-hop and is always open to new challenges.
Benjamin Vuković, DJ, multi-record producer and mixing engineer, known as Benjamin Shock, grew up in the Slovenian coastal area. The major rise of the 90s clubbing scene at that time had an important impact on his later sound and creativity. Because of its influence, the French house sound remains one of his major inspirations. Apart from it, his music is also strongly influenced by disco, funk, hip-hop, Detroit techno and Chicago house styles. 
In 1998 he started visiting the local radio station, an opportunity for him to listen to different music genres and study them carefully. He was inspired by the experience and gained a lot of knowledge. This period marked the beginning of Benjamin’s own style of production and mixing.
A year later Benjamin started using turntables, discovering his real passion and revealing his talent for mixing. He began playing house and techno music on a weekly radio show of a local radio station Tartini. It didn't take him long to start producing his own songs. 
He teamed up with his friend, who later became a reputable artist, Gramatik, and the two created various hip-hop and house grooves and finally formed a duo project Fatnatikz based on electro, funk and house music genres. 
In 2012 he attended the BURN Residency DJ Contest, where he won third place and was recognized for his outstanding performance. 
His music style incorporates almost all subgenres of house music from deep, soulful, jackin' house, all the way to techno, electro, disco and lounge. To put it into his own words: “I find it difficult to play or produce only one specific style of dance music. I like to keep my sets dynamic both in clubs and in the studio. I adjust my work to the dance floor crowd and to the vibe in the club.”
His work has been released on the following record labels: King Street Sounds, Lowtemp Music, Guesthouse Music, Neptuun City, Colorecordings, Flapjack and 1st Rate Music. Benjamin made a name for himself as a beatmaker, producer and mixing and mastering engineer on the Slovenian hip-hop scene.
Apart from working globally, Benjamin also supports Slovenian artists. He produced songs for several important pop artists in Slovenia. One of the songs he produced, Anika Horvat's Ruleta, was a finalist in the Slovenian prominent festival Melodije morja in sonca in 2017. He worked with several recognized musicians and singers, one of them Marina Martensson. Their single It's a shame was released on Lowtemp Music by Gramatik. The single was a success – its premiere live performance enriched the fashion show of a Slovene fashion designer Tina Princ on Ljubljana Fashion Week 2017.
Benjamin's work is well-recognized and respected in Slovenia. Currently, he is hosting a radio show called Shockast on the National radio station Radio Koper, which airs every Saturday at 10:30 pm
His plans for the future include further development in his field of profession by connecting with people and creating high quality music. He recently launched his own record label, Watermellow Music, which is focused on delivering quality dance music and pleasantly smooth mellow music. Influenced by Benjamin’s extensive DJ experience and versatility, the sound of the label is rooted in house, techno and lounge vibes. He intends to work with other artists, song writers and remixers and he intends to use the record label to deliver his music to people all around the globe.
