He also launched his own monthly parties LESS DRAMA MORE TECHNO in 2015 where he could illustrate his own definition of music. 
He 's still processing to create vibrating moments where deep hypnotic sounds that rub shoulders to post industrial influences, defined by a poetic and smooth aesthetic: a sophisticated mix of deep & raw drums, groovy basslines and haunting melodies could define his own soundscape. A personal vision shared with an eclectic selection of international and local artists that stands out the current programmation of the parisian scene. Linked with this project. Ben Manson is also heading his own label LDMT records that reflects his own vision of music and promotes the local queer scene.
 
The recent launch of JIM Club, that schedules the most advanced Indie Dance, Italo Disco and House music is echoing to his 2000's background with a more contemporary direction."

DJ Barney Philly
"Internationally Renowned Circuit Kub"

Philadelphia PA USA Based.
Globally recognized and respected.

DECADES of professional nightclub DJ skills, and began my practicing in the very early 1990's.
When I was 18 years old I used to sneak away from home to go to NYC to hear Junior Vasquez at  the original Sound Factory and then found my way to the Limelight.
In my quest for obtaining the most illusive and private remixes of my idols I because friends with some of the most influential DJs in the NYC dance music scene. 
Spending many evenings in the studio with DJ Eddie Baez and becoming friends with other DJs like Razor N Guido, Chad Jack, DJ Escape, & Peter Rauhofer.

After years of just being a music lover and collector I decided to make the progression to Disc Jockey. After-all, I was entrusted with a wealth of rare and unreleased music, it should be played.

In Philadelphia I had already been closely tied to the nightclub community. DJs like Robbie Tronco, Michael DeCero, and Rob Lee were already among my close circle of friends.
So I was already doing a good job bridging the gap of transporting music between NYC and Philly.

I have played at almost every major dance venue in the Philadelphia region, and started to make a name for myself in other cities around the country.
I was embraced by the Bear & Leather community and quickly found myself playing at almost every major Bear or leather event around the country.

By why stop their. I have a Passport, a reputation and am well networked.
My global career started in the most unusual of places, Reykjavík Iceland where I have been asked to return year after year.
I then started to branch out into Europe playing London many times. North of my home into Canada welcomed me with welcome arms, where I am a frequently requested favorite in Vancouver!
After crossing the Atlantic Ocean, I decided to cross the Pacific Ocean into Japan. Tokyo praised me, and continues to bring me back.
North America, Europe, Asia, where next?? The Southern Hemisphere of course!
Sydney Australia has asked me to provide music during their two week celebration of Sydney's Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras year after year since 2010.
This event is known the largest gay pride celebration on the planet!

I still am all about the music, the party, and the vibe, so its not unusual for me to play to a crowd of thousands at a major circuit party one week, then to a crowd of a dozen at a private birthday party or maybe a hundred at a bear run or Leather bar.
If my music, talent, and skills are appreciated I'm happy to entertain. 

Please enjoy my sets, and try to come hear me sometime!
