Ben Harvey's journey into the world of electronic music was sparked by the legendary Fantazia
Top Buzz NYE 1992 rave tapes. It was those tapes which ignited a passion that has since
propelled Ben from aspiring DJ to a prominent figure in the dance scene of the city in which he
now resides, Sheffield, UK. By 1997, with nothing more than a pair of Soundlab belt-drive
turntables, a basic mixer, and drawing early influence from icons like Scott Bond, Pete Tong,
and Judge Jules, he dived head first into the plethora of electronica that was available.
In 1998, Ben made the pivotal move to Sheffield, the beating heart of UK dance culture, where
legendary clubs like The Republic and The Leadmill provided the backdrop for his evolution. By
1999, he was fully immersed in rave culture, frequently attending iconic venues and events
such as Ministry of Sound, Passion, Cream, and his beloved Gatecrasher.
His unique ability to connect with audiences led him to start the infamous R&R Sunday parties,
which quickly became a staple in Sheffield’s 24-hour rave culture, showcasing established and
rising local talent, mixing a blend of trance and hard house. These events led to a long-running
residency at Bed nightclub, where Ben’s Sunday sessions drew crowds from all over the
country. The success of these events extended to Monday nights and his weekly residency at
Plug where he delivered electrifying house and trance sets that turned Monday nights into
legendary experiences.
Ben’s dynamic sound has led to bookings at some of the most celebrated events and venues:
• Lust @ The Steelyard (House)
• Network: Warming up for Howard Donald (House)
• Plastic, Ibiza (Ibiza Gigs)
• Insomniacz (Trance and Hard House Afterparties)
• Techno nights at ClimbingWorkz (House and Techno)
As a multi-genre DJ, Ben’s versatility covers house, disco, techno, trance, and hard house, and
his sets are known for their techy vibe, seamless transitions, and relentless bass, creating an
energetic atmosphere that leaves the crowd captivated.
Beyond DJing, 2024 has seen Ben dive into production with Sheffield DJ Jamie Ferguson under
their collaborative alias, Alchemy. Together, they’re crafting tracks at Arundel Lane Studios,
with five releases poised to drop soon.
Ben Harvey remains a powerful force, pushing the boundaries of sound and elevating the crowd
to euphoric heights. Whether in the booth or the studio, his passion and energy are
unmistakable, taking listeners on a journey where the only language is music.
