DJ / Producer and event organiser based in Melbourne, Australia.

Ben hails from Melbourne originally but spent almost 20 years growing up overseas - living in Africa and Asia, and travelling all over the world. This international upbringing has translated across to a diverse taste in music and unique approach to production.

Since returning to Melbourne he has immersed himself in its electronic music and festival scene, hosting notable underground events at parks, beaches, warehouses, and venues all across the city.

All the while becoming a talented DJ, he has played at some of Melbourne’s best clubs - including Revolver, Glamorama, My Aeon, Bourke St Courtyard, 524 Flinders, Colour, Brown Alley, and Electric, among others. 

The last year has seen him go from strength to strength, with a debut single release breaking into the Beatport charts, various podcast releases including a set for the renowned Flow Music series, and recent festival slots at Let Them Eat Cake and Beyond The Valley to top it off. 

With a focus on pushing an emotive brand of dance music, Mode B has a layered and varied sound that effortlessly straddles between melodic, progressive, afro house, and indie dance. 

His debut track 'Pertama' peaked at #74 in the Progressive House Top 100 hype charts on Beatport, and the VA Compilation it featured on peaked at #9 on the Progressive House Charts and #27 on the Melodic House and Techno Charts.

With a debut EP currently in the works, stay tuned to hear more of his original works in the near future!

Edger blends deep tech, melodic, progressive and afro house in a way that keeps the vibe and dance floor going all day and night. Growing up playing drums and loving all genres from rock to disco, becoming a DJ was the obvious transition as Edger’s love for house music intensified over the years. With a drumming background of over 25 years, sometimes you might catch him playing percussion during his live sets. Being in and out of recording studios since the age of 19, producing music has always been a big passion. His first single "Take Me Home" was signed in 2019 under Valiant Records, and soon after his single "Heartbeat" climbed to number 4 in the Beatport hype deep house chart. Edger has received international support from Hook N Sling, Felix Leiter, Milk & Sugar, John Course, Anthony Pappa, D-Compost and Kid Enigma to name a few. Edger's releases have been featured on radio stations in Australia, the UK and Canada and you can hear him on his weekly radio show, "Sonic Edge", on Australia's iconic house music radio station Kiss FM. 

Edger's bookings have seen him supporting international acts such as Stacey Pullen, Osunlade, Traumer, Dave Dinger, Henry Saiz and Tiago Oudman. He has also shared the stage with some of Australia's best including Anthony Pappa, John Course, Jamie Stevens, Thank You City, Mo'funk, Cristopher Coe, Sgt Slick, Steve Ward, Tom Evans and Colour Castle to name a few. His DJ bookings have taken him around the world playing in Australia, Canada, Indonesia and the Netherlands. 

In 2019, his first track “Take Me Home” was released by Valiant Records. An upbeat melody featuring soft vocals, drums and strong flute trills perfect to energize the crowd at any moment. With only a few months of releasing, his next tracks “Kallista” and “Heartbeat” caught his audience’s attention and made it to Beatport’s Afro House Chart (#36) and Hype Deep House Chart (#4)

EDGER has held residencies at some of Melbourne's most famous clubs and can be regularly seen at places like Storyville, Pawn & Co, 29th Apartment and Sky Disco ft. John Course among others. He has also played in famous clubs like Cocoon Beach Club (Bali), and top-level Australian events like Festival 23. His presence on radio shows has grown by leaps and bounds starting with support from Australia's own Kiss FM, RTRFM and Fresh 92.7, and now EDGER has a weekly show every Tuesday from 2:30-4pm on Melbourne's Kiss FM. 

Always in studio and working on new music, so expect some big releases coming soon.
