Dole & Kom met in Berlin’s Delirium record store, where both work as vinyl dealers.

be serious!

In 2024, the single "Gravity" went gold in Mexico.

Je rencontre le Yoga en 2009 à Austin,Texas grâce à Maranda Pleasant, une couchsurfeuse qui me prend sous son aile pendant 15 jours. Elle m’emmène à un cours d’ashtanga avancé sans me demander mon avis. Je ne comprends pas trop ce qui se passe mais je ressens une véritable plénitude lors de Savasana. Le yoga devient un outil important pour mon développement personnel. Il m’aide à surmonter un chagrin amoureux et une certaine précarité familiale. Je deviens professeur suite au programme The Artist Way, livre culte de Julia Cameron. Je commence par une formation 200 heures Yoga Alliance en Hatha et Ashtanga en 2013 à Rishikesh en Inde à l’école Rishikul Yog Shala où j’ai la chance de pratiquer avec sept professeurs érudits puis me forme dans la foulée au Yin Yoga avec Bernie Clark à Vancouver au Canada. Là-bas, je prends véritablement conscience de la transformation que le Yoga peut générer en chacun. Enfin c’est en Yoga Nidra avec la merveilleuse Uma Dinsmore Tuli que je décide d’approfondir ma pratique sur les îles d’Aran en Irlande. Une autre rencontre marquante. Par le passé, j’ai été professeur de français langue étrangère en entreprise. La fibre de la transmission est déjà présente. J’ai également étudié quelques protocoles de médecines alternatives tel le Body Talk System et le Reiki. J’enseigne en français et en anglais dans tout le sud de la France et j’ai à coeur de promouvoir le Yin Yoga et le Yoga Nidra, deux pratiques rares et précieuses. Mon intention est d’inviter les élèves à rentrer dans un univers, un moment, une parenthèse où ils peuvent se relâcher et laisser émerger émotions et idées. Un des vecteurs de cette détente est l’utilisation de musique et d’un flow parlé/chanté qui caractérise mon enseignement. Mes valeurs et engagements sont de faire preuve de bienveillance en toutes circonstances, respecter la physiologie de chacun, être à l’écoute et ne rien supposer de ce que la personne ressent, ne pas imposer une forme ou un dogme car il n’y a pas une forme ou un dogme qui marche pour tous.

To many, Ben Pearce’s name is synonymous with ‘What I Might Do’, his oddly anthemic deep-house debut that dominated club floors across the world in 2012. Whilst this is an easy correlation to make (the track went platinum in Europe, reached #7 in the UK charts and was the most Shazamed tracked of 2013 in the UK), those who have followed him since the beginning can testify that he is so much more than that.

Ben is very much an underground DJ first-and-foremost, aided in no small part by his vast musical knowledge and the ability to play across a wide range of musical genres. His skills behind the decks have not gone un-noticed, as shown by high-profile sets alongside the likes of Simian Mobile Disco, Tensnake and Claptone. 

On the rise, Ben was named DJ Mag's Best Breakthrough Producer in 2013 and in the following year further proved that he's deserving of the coveted award. Becoming increasingly known for his remixing abilities as well as his own original productions, remixing for Le Youth, Kwabs and Tender Games all in 2014. He collaborated with Black Orange Juice ‘Predictable’ for MTA, a soulfully smooth single that equally showcases lyrical flair and production talent, as well as release the underground club infused 'Lego' EP on his own label. 

The latter end of 2014 saw Ben launch of his new disco inspired project The Sextape Series. Which incorporates a number of free mix tapes, cheeky edits and a sequence of Sextape inspired parties. These specific nights see Ben playing extended funk-infused sets across a range of characterful, intimate venues in the UK. 

Through 2015, Ben has continued to tour around the globe, starting the year in Australia before embarking on a tour of North America in March. Starting in Miami where Ben played a special Sextape Series set, the tour also took in dates in Montreal, Texas and Mexico City. Having appeared for the brand last year, Ben was given a recurring residency for ANTS at Ushuaia and additionally appeared for We Love… and Magna Carta at Sankeys Ibiza. Not to mention the inaugural Creamfields Festival in Ibiza at Ushuaia. Away from the White Isle, Ben played at the first ever Lost Village Festival as well as Parklife, We Are FSTVL and the Ruis Festival in the Netherlands.

Revered for his classic disco sets, the legendary Giorgio Moroder also enlisted Ben to play a special set at the launch party for his new album at Shoreditch House in May - an event that also served as a fundraiser for Bridges for Music. 

Alongside a hectic touring schedule, Ben has also provided remixes for the likes of IYES and Hayden James on ‘Something About You’ in 2015, as well as standout collaborative record ’Nothing Ever Hurts' with Shadowchild and featuring vocalist Laurel - a track that reinforced Ben’s penchant for blending astute melody with peak-time bass.

Ben also successfully runs his own label imprint Purp & Soul which has celebrated its 12th release with regular artist showcases and releases. After a massive couple of years, Ben has shown that he’s not one to rest on his laurels and 2015 is sure to further Ben Pearce’s status as one of the top DJs and producers in the industry.
