Men EP - November 10th

BenZel is the [magical] life of Umi Takahashi and Yoko Watanabe. Originally from Osaka; Umi and Yoko both travelled to New York through their foreign exchange program. They met in early 2012 through an online message board about ankle socks and quickly discovered they each had a profound  for 90’s R&B and J. Dilla. After many failed attempts to create a hypoallergenic ankle sock, they decided to put their efforts towards other creative ventures. Following hours of soul searching: they decided to start BenZel… they’ve been working on it since yesterday.

Peter Boks, also known as Pepito, is a producer and DJ from the Netherlands. 

As a kid he grew up in Curaçao with a lot of music around his family. A lot of family members played instruments and were always singing. 

When he went to High School, he started producing and bought a guitar. He teaches himself how to play guitar by lessons on YouTube and expanded the knowledge in keys to produce his own music. This was always urban and R&B music. He went to Amsterdam to make this music dream his work. Got a lot of great placements and worked with a lot of great artists. 

He always loved house music with funky grooves and a touch of soul elements. His friends from Amsterdam always told him to put his talent in house music but he never listened. Until a car accident changed his whole perspective. 

After the accident he made a promise to himself. Make every day count and think bigger. So he switched to making house music and took all his experience to make it as a house producer and DJ. 

It felt like therapy. Making house music saved his life and emotional state. The experience he has in urban, funk and soul is in perfect alignment with the house he’s making contemporary. He is ready to share his love and passion for music with the people in its purest form.

Schon als Teenager machte er sich auf, um die einzigartigen Vibes der Karibikinsel Jamaika aufzusaugen.
Er hat Jamaika und die Kultur mit großem Respekt aufgenommen und den direkten Draht zu den Menschen dort gesucht – genau das macht diesen Künstler aus. Nach über 1000 Konzerten rund um den Globus ist es immer diese verbindende Energie, die ihn als Künstler ausmacht – der direkte Draht zu den Menschen. Spätestens seit seiner Hitsingle „Intoxication“, die in der Karibik den Sommer 2004 musikalisch geprägt hatte, gehört er zur absoluten Top Riege der internationalen Reggae Gemeinschaft und Festivallandschaft.
In über 25 Jahren entstanden dabei über 100 Kollaborationen mit Top Stars wie: Shaggy, Sean Paul, Marcia Griffiths, Tanya Stephens, Ky-Mani Marley, Christopher Martin, um nur einige Jamaikaner aufzuzählen. Auch in den USA hat Gentleman mit einigen Stars zusammengearbeitet: Aloe Blacc, Pink, Destiny´s Child, SOJA, Michael Franti uvam.
Selbst in unseren Breitengraden ist die Liste lang und bekannt: Freundeskreis, Udo Lindenberg, Die Toten Hosen, Michael Patrick Kelly, Beginner uvam.
Gentleman veröffentlichte über 12 Alben mit 4 Gold- und einer Platinauszeichnung. Darunter mittlerweile Genre-Klassiker wie „Journey to Jah“, „Confidence“ oder das großartige „MTV Unplugged“. 
Zusammenfassend kann man dem Reggae Connaisseur und Autor Ulli Güldner nur zustimmen, in dem er Gentleman als „bis heute ersten & einzigen Reggae-A-List-Ambassador dieses Landes“ tituliert.
