Benji B | J Dilla Tribute Show BBC 1Xtra, February 2006

Soundtrack.
Paris, January 2022.

The soundtrack for the Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2022 show was created based on conversations with Men’s Artistic Director Virgil Abloh. The 𝓛𝓸𝓾𝓲𝓼 Dreamhouse™ inspires a live musical composition founded in childlike imagination and the magic of theatre. A score composed by Tyler, the Creator with arrangements by Arthur Verocai is performed by the Chineke! Orchestra, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, with creative direction by Benji B. Tyler, the Creator has written a sequence of eight new pieces for the soundtrack, which concludes with his 2017 composition See You Again. Together, the four featured artists represent a confluence key to the genre-defying and emotive showmanship of Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton. Tyler, the Creator – the American artist and record producer – composes the soundtrack performed by the Chineke! Orchestra, the first professional orchestra championing change and celebrating diversity in classical music. It is arranged by the Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai, whose self-titled album from 1972 is significant to the musical awareness of Virgil Abloh. The orchestra is conducted by the Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel, who serves as the music director of the Opéra national de Paris, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra. Benji B is a DJ and producer, who has overseen musical direction throughout the eight-season arc of Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton.

Benji B - Prince Tribute - 28.04.16

Sonar 2017 was immense. In its 24th year and the music festival still remains the most respected worldwide for electronic and advanced music. I represented Radar Radio and had 1-2-1 chats with a few artists that performed.

Benji B spoke about the makings of legendary night Deviation and Gilles Peterson’s record collection; before Fat Freddy’s Drop took the main stage we discussed the New Zealand music scene and how online platforms are helping local artists break out; and lastly the boys from Soulection told me about their journey starting out doing student radio in LA to amassing a following of millions and hosting on Beats 1.

Listen to the interviews and selected sounds from the artists here - running order below.

In today's burgeoning culture of opportunism and ambition, you seldom meet an individual with exceptional abilities and a lengthy history of achievement without it being worn on their sleeve. GE-OLOGY’s sets reflect his diverse taste in music perfectly. Unfiltered mixes filled with records ranging from experimental Jazz, Gospel, Disco, Funk, House, Techno and Hip-Hop, GE-OLOGY does is all with ease. There is no single tread to be found in his sets, other than him taking risks and mixing in curveballs that light up the dance floor. On top of his sublime track selection, the skills of the Baltimore DJ are unparalleled and admired by everybody’s favorite DJs. Thus, the enigmatic virtuoso known as GE-OLOGY is a rare find indeed.

GE-OLOGY's ties with music were close from the start. After learning how to play the trumpet and starting collecting records at age 5, 6 years later GE-OLOGY’s interest in DJing and passion for music started rising to the heights he still beholds today. His interest in Hip-Hop brought him together with Tupac, Talib Kweli and Mos Def and later the Baltimore born, 80's New York City bred Renaissance man took the opportunity to produce for Jill Scott, De La Soul, Yukimi Nagano and Vinia Mojica and Jem. Yet, surprising to most, his dance floor oriented music dates back to the same time.

This masterful music producer, skilled DJ, and equally gifted visual artist has been acclaimed internationally for over two decades, however he remains somewhat of a mystery, letting his music and his mixes speak for themselves. To GE-OLOGY, music is something spiritual which reaches his soul and is inseparable from his being. This ethos is clearly emulated in his music, always digging deeper and weaving diverse music genres that coalesce to inspire soulful movement on the dance floor.
