Zurich based King Ben is the pure opposite of a late bloomer – namely an early starter. After watching a DJ play live for the first time at the age of twelve Ben was hooked and invested all the money he had saved in a DJ system. 

Quickly he developed a unique groove, performed his first gig at the legendary Sputnik Radio and became Switzerlands’s youngest DJ. 

His organic, melodic and yet very reduced sound probably reflects his personality with diverse cultural, creative and musical influences, such as jazz, hiphop or pop. 

In his studio, the sound tinkerer gets lost in time and experiments for days or weeks on a new track. 

Now his efforts are about to pay off: Say hello to King Ben’s first release on Ouïe Circle – the Miracle EP.

Title track Miracle was inspired by certain samples and beats from Ouïe co-labelhead Acid Pauli. The groovy house track filled with uplifting chords and a stirring xylophone sounds builds to an energetic climax, before fading into a soft outro. 
„Reduction and groove was very important for me in this track“ says King Ben. 

The second track is Tschaggas and retouched by Acid Pauli himself. It’s named after the nickname Ben's two daughters gave him and is an emotional journey through ambient soundscapes. With deeply layered synths and sparse drums the track is an emotional exploration of the certain hustle and calmness that reflects daily life with his children.

King Ben - Miracle

New music needed this week? No problem, we've got you sorted 😊 

We continue our Berlin Mixtapes series with an exciting young artist that is taking the deep house world by storm.

Next up we welcome Swiss🇨🇭 DJ and producer King Ben who is probably the pure opposite of a late bloomer - more of an early starter. Ben grew up near Zurich in a home with a wide variety of influences: His mother is Turkish, his father, who is a gifted jazz musician is Swiss, plus both have Spanish and Polish roots. No wonder Ben started playing the piano at the age of nine and after watching a DJ play for the first time at the age of twelve, Ben was hooked. It didn't take long for Ben to get noticed with his first release on a small label in Germany, followed by further releases on Berlin labels such as Kindisch, Bar 25 Music, Ouïe Circle and others. Today his tracks are played by international stars appearing in DJ sets, radio shows and guest mixes worldwide with a release portfolio that now spans across Berlin, Switzerland and the US. We caught up with Ben to find out more.

Berlin Mixtapes - King Ben - Episode 044

King Ben, a familiar face in the Organic House scene, has previously released music on acclaimed labels such as Kindisch, Bar 25, and Ouïe from Acid Pauli and Nico Stojan. 

With his signature deep sound, we are thrilled to welcome him to Akbal Music with two emotionally charged tracks that exude personality. 

Leading off the release is "Kelim," a track that strikes an emotional chord while maintaining a solid groove. Intricate percussion and stunning instrumentation accompany a powerful sense of melancholy. 

Meanwhile, "Angina," the second track of the EP, takes a more downtempo direction. With powerful synths and beautiful vocal snippets, this track effortlessly combines rolling arpeggios to create a winner.

Podcast #101 - King Ben

King Ben is probably the pure opposite of a late bloomer - namely an early starter. He grew up near Zurich in a home with a wide variety of influences: His mother is Turkish, his father - a gifted jazz musician – have both Spanish and Polish roots. No wonder King Ben started playing the piano at the age of nine. After watching a DJ play for the first time at the age of twelve, King Ben is hooked: Instead of buying an electric bass, he invests all the money he has saved in a DJ system. The investment was to pay off: He starts DJing at the age of 13, develops a unique groove and does his first gig at the legendary Sputnik Radio. And King Ben, Switzerland's youngest DJ, was already bringing the big dance floors to the boil with deep house, his great passion. Among others, as a resident in hip clubs like Zoo Club, Silo, etc.. Together with his brother, who organised parties and ran a club, King Ben worked many late and early shifts at the turntables.

Being addicted to Deep House, the parties alone are soon no longer enough for King Ben. And he spends a lot of time in his studio, where he creates new tracks. His organic, melodic and yet very reduced sound probably reflects his personality with diverse cultural, creative and musical influences, such as jazz, hiphop or pop. In the studio, the sound tinkerer forgets time and experiments for days or weeks on a new track. Which seems to pay off: King Ben makes his first release on a small label in Germany, followed by further releases on Kindisch, Bar 25 and other labels. Today his tracks are played by international stars. And King Ben now releases in Berlin as well as in Switzerland and the USA.
