Bensley – A name which has remained a talking point across the genre since the announcement of his exclusive signing to Ram Records. Heralding from the city of Toronto, known for being a hotbed for the drum & bass genre, Bensley has stood as an anomaly.

In its 20 year plus history, never before has the RAM imprint created a journey as unique as Bensley’s. If you scour the internet, you won’t find one single release, an upload or even any previous history on the producer. Yet all it took was a one single demo to attract the attention of the acclaimed electronic music label. The RAM HQ was instantly enveloped by Bensley’s technically adept and musical personality, with the demos blowing the roof off the Hornchurch office on first listen. 

Bensley ‘let the music do the talking’… Quite literally. On first listen to ‘Fandango’, a precursor for what’s yet to come, you’ll instantly tune in to why he was snapped up so quickly. His innovative composition appeals to even the hardiest of heads – but it also builds a bridge between the commercial and the underground.

Straight away, you can hear the heavily influenced tinkling of his jazz musician grandfather; Bensley is also an accomplished saxophone player, having traveled extensively with his school band. An artist who’s just as inspired by the contemporary sounds of Wilkinson and Loadstar, as much as jazz pioneers Dave Brubeck and Charlie Parker, the depth of his musicality goes deeper than a DAW interface.

When I heard the DJ Zinc remix a few years back I was completely hooked which got me straight into producing Drum & Bass. Now I felt like I should make "my own" version of it. I hope you enjoy it! :)

Ready Or Not (Champion Bootleg)

DC Breaks - Breathe Feat. Dave Gibson

Out March 11, 2016. 
Pre-order: https://RAM.lnk.to/BensleyTiptoe

The story of Bensley’s rise to fame within the drum & bass community has become infamous. One of the scene’s most prolific to date, the emerging Ram stalwart was pushed into the agenda’s forefront without any prior music being available to stream online. Having been signed to the revered imprint based on a few mysterious demos, the LP that followed demonstrated the thought process behind label-head Andy C’s decision.

And next single ‘Tiptoe’ only goes on to solidify Bensley’s position. One set component from the last eighteen months that has created nearly as much hype as his ground breaking first single ‘Fandango’, it again hones in on the artist’s signature production standards. Hollowed drums and building note arpeggios bring you forward on top of a reverberating bassline; quickly cut then propelled forward on pounding subs, clacking percussion filters between carefully composed loops.

Hailed by radio tastemakers Beats1’s Zane Lowe and 1xtra’s Mistajam as one to watch, this next single adds another milestone to his journey. Whether it was on the dancefloor across his European tour last Autumn/Winter, or through personal headphones, Bensley is beginning to dominate playlists globally. ‘Tiptoe’ solidifies why.

Never Stop

Out July 8, 2016.

Bensley’s story is one of the most illustrious across drum & bass. Plucked from relative obscurity, he pathed his way through legendary competition, heralded as the genre’s wonder kid. Dropping a full LP of fresh cuts after showcasing a just tiny glimpse of his production standard, his music was met with awe. And just over a year later, he’s continued with a succession of releases pedestalling a talent that’s only continuing to grow.

Using the full ethereal atmospherics of elevating note arpeggios and plucking synths, Bensley is back with his full sound scale. Rattling percussion filters between space-like stabs and humanistic samples, breaking up the mix then pushing it down into unconventional breaks. Demonstrating a growing complexity seldom seen in producers so young, once again Bensley proves his commitment to musicianship. One which hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Expect to hear these fresh cuts from Bensley dropped on crowds from London to the USA this summer. A perfect introduction to the summer season, momentum is only growing for this producer’s already stellar discography.
