Born in 1988, Ben Socrates is a versatile musician with a career encompassing as a concert pianist and experience in the field of contemporary improvisation, jazz and electronics. Ben is the recipient of numerous prizes including the Clifford Benson and Robert Headley prizes for solo performance, the Elisabeth Schumann Lieder Duo Prize and the Founders Prize for accompaniment.

Alongside his solo career, Ben’s interest in collaboration has led to his involvement in a number of innovative projects. These have included work with both emerging and established composers, theatre and contemporary dance companies, installation artists and musicians from an array of disciplines.

Ben completed his postgraduate studies at Trinity Laban Conservatoire in 2011, with a scholarship from the TCM Trust, alongside support from the Osbourne Charitable Trust, The Kathleen Trust, The South Square Trust, The Funtington Music Group and the Geoffrey Parsons Memorial Trust. Ben studied under renowned pianist and composer, Douglas Finch. He has performed in masterclasses to acclaimed teachers including Aaron Shorr, Deidre Doyle, Jonathan Plowright, Deniz Gelenbe, Christine Croshaw, Martino Tirimo and Eugene Asti.

Ben has always pursued a keen interest in classical song, performing in many recitals of German Lieder, French Art Song and Russian Romances. He is also a keen supporter of contemporary music, and was recently invited to give a masterclass on modern piano repertoire at Sevenoaks School in Kent. He collaborated with composer Soosan Lolavar on a new work for improvised piano and electronics, entitled ‘Black Dog’, which went on to win the John Halford Prize for Piano Composition at its premiere last year.

Ben’s interest in collaboration extends to interdisciplinary art. In 2012, he launched Field Song; an interactive ‘sonic sculpture’ which was created with a team of installation and technological artists. Field Song, which features a generative score composed by Ben himself, won the Ideas Tap Innovators Award and was exhibited at the More Than Words Festival 2012 in conjunction with BBC Radio 4.

In July 2012, Ben featured on a tour of France with pianist Matthieu Esnult which was widely covered in the national press. Together they staged an acclaimed new interpretation of Ravel’s La Valse, arranged for two pianos with a unique new choreography that merged musicians and dancers.

Ben has performed at venues including the Southbank Centre, Old Royal Naval College Chapel and Chichester Cathedral, and at venues throughout the UK and France. He has also organised and performed recitals in support of charities, such as a piano concert  in that raised money for the victims of the Japan tsunami in 2011. 

My name is Hajee and as you can hear I am pretty much in the deeper realms of dubstep-like music. I use Ableton as my DAW. If you are interested in collaborations or want me to do remixes for you, please PM me.

Hajee - Nobody Is Ass Smart As Everybody

Software designer, producer and teacher of electronic music.

AngMohRecords was founded by me, Terry Owen, in 2013 with the intent of compiling and distributing the wealth of beautiful awe-inspiring music being created which struggles to pinpoint its identity within existing musical classifications, taking inspiration from electronica, folk, pop and ambient styles.


This new venture follows six years working as a founding member and producer within Bit-Phalanx Records, establishing myself as a solo producer and performer under the T-toe moniker performing alongside acts such as Plaid, DJ Vadim, Cats in Paris, Mixmaster Morris, Kone-R, Shitmat, MrsJynx, Chevron, The Gasman, etc. as well as releasing EPs through Bit-Phalanx and Complex Sound Sagacity, and supplying exclusive tracks and remixes for OneLittleIndian Records, Mango&Sweet Rice Records, The Centrifuge, Digital Vomit and Magneoton, amongst others.


On a personal note, the creation of AngMoh Records signifies a steady but significant change in my musical taste over recent years and a desire to help promote and develop the sounds which resonate with my emotional being; sounds with a focus on a simultaneously melancholy and uplifting mood, bathed in melody and harmony, and constructed with the use of honest and inventive orchestration and production.

Slime Recordings
"Designed to move minds"

From its inception at the start of this decade, Slime has strived to bring you the very best in forward-thinking electronic music, designed as much for your own headspace as it is for the dancefloor.

We've sought to re-capture the wide-eyed thrill of the first age of rave, that era of experimental sounds and styles which changed the way so many of us listen to music forever, and re-interpret it for a new generation.
