Welcome to the 37TH release for @PuzzleProjectsMusic brought to us by Japanese Artist LeftHandSoundSystem and British producer and label boss @BenSpaldingOfficial.

PuzzleProjectsMusic continues its unorthodox journey in dance music with the strong diversification of its discography. The label's rapid growth, particularly in the last 18 months, has deliberately been by not following trends, whilst championing experimental and dancefloor-ready jams.
 
The latest release - designed for crazy and hazy afterhours, is the lovechild of label head Ben Spalding and Japanese Artist LeftHandSoundSystem AKA Ken Aoki. The pair started these creations back in 2021. After some time away from the arrangements, the EP rapidly came together in recent months. 
 
Ken and Ben have boldly indulged their penchant for the leftfield, odd sounds, and unusual samples to create two distinct cuts that wildly blur the lines between minimal, electronica and tech house music.
 
‘SWEET LIES’ kicks off the EP – the track, strongly inspired by a real-life traumatic life situation teases in expertly through its throbbing funk-infused b-line, along with a range of percussive elements that feel as though they’ve been played live. A soulful, haunting vocal floats in and out, while hypnotic elements pull you into their auditory orbit. The breakdown introduces a thought-provoking woozy spoken-word dialogue featuring two legends in deep, meaningful talk. This extended breakdown adds to the track’s mesmerising appeal and leads us into the latter part of the track, which continues to unleash that ultra-Funkadelic bassline.
 
On the flip, ‘ANIMAL’ – specifically designed to be a slow, winding, sleazy after-hours set opener, creeps in with crunchy kicks and hats, ushering us in via a powerful bassline with a sensual female vocal sample via long-term French collaborator of Ben’s Marie Berson, who orders us to “Get to the dirty groove… the filthy, dirty groove” - further female and male vocal clips come via British vocalist Megan Laura.
 
Unsurprisingly, the low end is exactly that, taking us into the depths of deep, subterranean frequency. The duo utilises the weird-and-wonderful arrangement to introduce segues, warped samples and vocal clips from Ben - making this a mind-melting composition. Steel yourself for the air-raid siren-driven breakdown towards the end. Massive late-night, dark-lit afters vibes.
 
Spalding’s well-known and loved knack for delightful and provocative storytelling is strongly evident in both productions, paired with Ken’s obsession for strong percussive elements and rhythm makes for a magical collaboration.
 
Stay locked in for the final release on PuzzleProjectsMusic until 2024 – the explosive ‘NO SLEEP’ EP showcasing the dynamite partnership of Mexican Dan Ros and Ben Spalding, supported with a brilliant remix from Fabric club (London) regular and rising talent Jake Beautyman.

Ben Spalding and Dan Ros share their next release to the world showcasing a sound design that's strongly focused on hypnotic, creeping, gritty, trippy warehouse rave-inspired electronic music - the highly original end creation diving somewhere between the darker realm of offbeat, almost cinematic Minimal Tech House.

A tireless studio collaboration back in 2021, which kicked off with their lauded Winter 2022 remix of ‘Carl’s Groove.’ The initial collaboration unexpectedly spawned into nearly ten rave cuts in the works that have proceeded to attract forthcoming remixes from German live act Christian Burkhardt, among others.

The original mix sees Dan and Ben flexing their creative muscle to produce a playful, deep, and engaging cut. An assault of highly provocative vocal clips from one of Ben’s favourite films unfolds throughout the arrangement. Spalding’s trademark penchant for composing unusual, weird, and suspenseful arrangements gives ‘NO SLEEP’ its unique character in perfect marriage with Dan’s passion for powerful groove. Hefty lo-end combines to spectacular effect with deep undulating bass tones, while an extended breakdown leads into an explosive second half.

Fabric Club (London) regular Jake Beautyman was specifically brought in for remix duties to create a higher energy cut and delivered in absolute perfection. Jake strips away the raucous drums and adds more organic sounding percussion, while the groaning low end remains intact. Mysterious sounding sci-fi effects add to the nuanced atmosphere of this rolling remix. Jake’s musicality shines through, as he unleashes a simple, yet highly effective melody during the breakdown with the wildest of chord stabs slicing immaculately through the sleazy lo-end.

After four relentless years, this is the last release on PuzzleProjectsMusic until 2024.

______________________________________________________________________

A Londoner, now based in the mountains in Norway - over the last decade, Ben has performed in over 40 countries, including Coachella Festival in California and @LostBeachClub in Ecuador.

The @PuzzleProjectsMusic and @HOT-GROOVERS label boss has been on fire in recent overseeing the rapid growth of the two record labels and the talented and diverse collectives of artists from over 30 countries leading to critical acclaim from publications such as DJ Mag, BBC, Billboard charts and support from countless, major underground artists across the genres of Disco, House & Techno worldwide.

As a music producer, Ben has released his original and unique take on Tech House, Minimal and Techno music to great success - regularly exploring and enjoying powerful studio collaborations with artists including @RonaldChristoph, @FlavioMPMusic and many other talented producers on his record labels.

His music has been consistently supported by many of the scenes biggest names including Maceo Plex, Marco Carola, Jamie Jones, Richie Hawtin, Joseph Capriati, Steve Lawler, Nic Fanciulli, Claude Von Stroke, Chris Lake, Nicole Moudaber, Roger Sanchez, Riva Starr, Danny Rampling, Gene Farris, Eddie Amador, Seb Fontaine and many more.

A fierce supporter of unknown, established or megastar talent, Ben is also the man behind the sprawling PuzzleProjectsGroup, which operates several progressive concepts dedicated to the underground scene and the artists within, which include the chart-topping record labels @PuzzleProjectsMusic and @HOT-GROOVERS, the nomadic rave concept @PUZZLEDParties and the 360 business agency PuzzleProjectsCreate which provides services to a number of record labels and independent artists in the scene.

With the soon to be established booking agency PuzzleProjectsTalent and his third record label @ANIMALRECORDINGS in the works, there is no limit to what is to be achieved over time.

On the performance side, 2019 proved to be a huge year for Ben as bookings for him as a solo act and @PUZZLEDParties shows took him on a 19-country world tour in nine months, playing sell-out shows across Europe, Asia & Australia.

Despite the pandemic restrictions, Autumn 2021 saw Ben tour South America extensively, playing alongside artists such as @Rafa-Barrios.

2024 will see Ben have multiple releases out in digital and vinyl format on @PuzzleProjectsMusic and @ANIMALRECORDINGS, whilst early 2024 will see Ben go on another tour of Europe and the Americas making debut shows in more countries.
