This is a live recording from ILL DISCO in Sydney - Dec 2014. It's a peak time mix so expect some dark patches however all lovingly handpicked and mixed live including realtime human error using "anti-sync" because what is DJ'ing without mixing right!? It's a little taste of what to expect from my late shows throughout the party season. 

Ben Stacey - Recorded Live Dec 2014 - ILL DISCO Sydney, Aust

A mini mix live selection to help us all feel the love and solidify togetherness this summer. Enjoy yourselves, enjoy each other, enjoy this time right now because now is the time. Happy New Year to all and much love, B. 

TOGETHER SELECTION - B. STACEY

A nu disco re-edit with break elements that I've had sitting about since Oct 2014. It's had a good old rinsing since but I have a feeling it will certainly stick about in the crate as a festival kicker for a good time ahead still. 

CARIBOU - OUR LOVE - BEN STACEY RE-EDIT

This mix was originally programmed for potential use for Tim Sweeney's 'Beats in Space' show WNYU 89.1FM in New York City but as I progressed it became relative to what I would play within my old 'Late Show' Revolver sets back in the mid 2000's.

Although I am known for playing quite eclectic sets, this is my true style I feel most comfortable DJ'ing and Producing as you will witness as I unveil my new original productions throughout the year.

For most satisfying results play late night, with friends, on an indulgent evening ... oh, and play loud!



BEN STACEY - AM SESSIONS VOL 2

Here's a little ditty I've been having a little fun with. Pack this one to make your floors go bang!  

Sure Shot - Ben Stacey Edit

This is the first upload that is true to my real sound that I generally produce. Raised on a menu of punk, indie rock and heavy club / electronica it's only natural that my true sound be relatively dark and heavier than your average club track. If you're into a mashed palette of LCD, UNKLE, Holy Fuck, Erol Alkan, the DFA etc then this'll most likely be up your alley.

BEAMS by BEN STACEY

I'd been playing this old classic out as a final track in my sets over last summer. I've been wanting to entirely re-work it for a while to give it some extra fatness and bit of a nu-funk feel so here it finally is. Enjoy! 

Goodnight Tonight - Wings - Ben Stacey Rework

New original track from the Florian Nights project. Working Title: 'Back in the Day' Dec 2015. 

Back In The Day

 spent much of my youth fighting these little guys off and the soundtrack to Space Invaders is somewhat engrained in my head. It's no surprise that I write an interval piece that captures the feel of this arcade classic. This is a demo version of 'Invader' due for official release late 2016. 

Invader

'Morning Light' will be the first single taken from the forthcoming debut Florian Nites LP due late 2016. The track is very reminiscent of Ben's earlier years with Bodyjar. "I suppose I wanted to capture a similar energy that we created with the band but as electronic outfit", Ben explains. I've always struggled writing catchy pop songs since I've been producing electronic music and am happy to have found myself back on this plateau once again. 

Morning Light

'The State You Were In' was written for a project Ben was involved in back in 2013 called 'Bangs'. This track was recently rediscovered on an old hard drive and as it was a surprising stand out, we've decided to use it as a welcome addition to the record. Florian Nites debut LP due late 2016.

The State You Were In

Recorded and mixed: Ben Stacey, Florian home studio Sydney, mastered by Jack the Bear at Sing Sing Studios, Melbourne.

Deadly Agenda

Florian Nites aka DJ Ben Stacey (real name Ben Petterson), started his music career as guitarist/singer in Australian rock band Bodyjar, he then went on to pursue a career in electronica, relocating to London and NYC between 1998 - 2002 to follow his musical passion.

Since then Ben has run and played at countless residencies in London, Melbourne and Sydney, including Turnmills (U.K), Revolver (Melb) and was part of Melbourne’s 33 1/3 DJ roster. Ben has opened shows for artists such as  Beck, James Lavelle, Jazzy Jeff, Grandmaster Flash, Mr Scruff, Stanton Warriors, Freestylers, Plump DJ’s, Krafty Kuts, Greg Wilson, Avalanches DJ’s, Nickodemus, DJ Spun, Recloose the Beastie Boys among others.

“I like to weave an eclectic mix of assorted Electronica, Club, Tech House, Disco/Nu Disco and stay constantly busy, adding new textures and layers over the mix with samples, scratching and effects giving the tracks extra zing. All this comes quite naturally from my time spent performing in punk bands and watching hip hop crews back in Melbourne in the early 2000’s”, Ben explains.

Ben currently resides in Melbourne playing various club nights and is currently working on new original material, re-edits and mixes from his home studio.
