Mystic Funk II - A Trip Hop Mix

“Cacti Traveler” follows an intergalactic journeyman through tropical landscapes, uncovering layers of history and glimpses of the future—from lush forests to barren wastelands shaped by independence, industry, and modern life. Brass melodies narrate his path, capturing wonder, sorrow, and hope. As the journey unfolds, hip-hop beats emerge, echoing his steps, and it all culminates in a spiritual jazz finale—a tribute to the roots that shape BABON’s evolving sound.

BABON - Cacti Traveler

Remix for The Broken Orchestra released December 23rd 2014

In The Same Way feat Lauren Jade (Hugo Kant Remix)

Never Stop Dancing is a mix series dedicated to all those who find themselves locked in the groove, time and time again. To those who find themselves eyes closed, lost in the music. To those who say "one more song" more than once. To those who live for the collective joy, community, and boundless self-expression of the dance floor. To those who never stop dancing. This mix series is focused on amplifying the sounds of DJs and producers in the Kootenays and British Columbia who honour the rich tradition of house, disco, and techno in their sets.

Old Ben has a keen sense for tasteful, soulful, beats that get a dance floor moving. What's more, he's a stand up guy with a heart of gold. Old Ben is the best man you want by your side at your wedding, the dude who will build a stage for your music festival, the cousin who will buy you a $600 laser. He's always up for a good time and for a boogie with the time is right, and can always be counted on to get the dance floor moving. This set of his is a true testament to Old Ben's ability to find and meld rare, slow, and sensuous house music into a cohesive story. I am honoured that Old Ben spent the time to put it together for me, and I'm so excited to share it with you. 

Old Ben Bio: At the turn of the century the Kootenay rave scene was starting to pop off, and this geezer was there for it. He quickly fell in love with the music and culture. The art of partying and the art of throwing a good party. Most of all, the joy of finding new music and sharing it. Over the years new sounds emerged, genres rising and falling, and through it all he developed a keen ear for music that stands the test of time and speaks to the heart. Old Ben sets are soulful and discerning, serving up beats with the smooth sophistication of a fine wine.
