Benny Howell (aka DJ Subaru) is a UK based producer, DJ and overall promoter of good times who's undoubtedly propelling a new generation of music appreciation with an honourable respect for the earlier beginnings of club culture. Benny Howell might also be the pioneer of a new post-Brexit Eurodance genre, with "Surrender", a catchy Pop oriented production with strong influences from Italodisco and HiNRG, written and produced entirely from scratch with best friend Bella Quirin who co-wrote the lyrics after a break up with her ex. Innocent and charming lyrics over 120's BPM drum machine and a simple melody that you'll be humming in the back of your mind for days to come. Equipped with a Yamaha TX81Z, a few guitar pedals and a makeshift bedroom studio, "Surrender" is the product of a dear friendship between the two music lovers, as per Benny's recount: "Bella came and sung on the track in my bedroom during one of the gaps between Covid lockdowns after I asked her at the pub if she knew any singers and said me of course, and we went from just friends to best friends."
The remix on the B-side by Castro takes a darker turn into what almost sounds like a Techno version with heavy dubbed out effects taking the "Surrender" theme through an unhinged Ketamine flanger vortex. Full cover artwork and mastered at Manmade mastering in Berlin.

Babes In Love : Bonus Babes Dub Reprise

The Time Tunnel Mix Tape

An underground scene in the psycho tropics of crazy-meets-mad India—the most off-the-clock permissible place—was where Ray Castle found himself behind a palm tree with two Walkmans and a stack of cassettes mixing Special Goa Music in the jungle of Disco Valley Vagator in the late 80s.
What was this music? How did it find its way here? What was so special about it? Why did it have agency in Goa, like no where else?
For the DJ, each track was a hallucinogenic spell, an imaginal theme park ride, an aural-gasm rush—a mini drama in a nusical neural weave. Night music, first light music, morning music. This was not a night club in the wilderness. This was metaphysical, life-altering, eight-hour-dancing-non-stop, ritual experience. A unique Special Goa Music dancefloor sound that was a Gonzo blender of World Music, New Wave, Industrial, Break Beat, Neu Beat, EBM, Disco, Electro, House, Rave, Acid Tekno—all under 128 bpm. 
After ’93 the music sped up, became a genre—Trance, within which Castle produced music, inevitably to become trapped in cookie cutter fashion. Gonzo celebrates free range music on the dancefloor, which is the Goa he wants you to know about.

Alien Invasion (demo)

A 2.5-hour excerpt of my all-vinyl set at Rodeo / CWW Radio Shop. This set is a bit different from the last few I’ve done. I had a lot of fun playing some of the first records I ever bought — many of which are amazing yet low-budget house tunes. I hope you enjoy it!
