Inspired by the legendary Prescription label and a love of smokey
basement deep house, Benedict has produced records for labels
including Surface, Freerange and Detroit’s Kolour. Benedict migrated
to Sheffield in 2020, starting a party called Machine Soul with
co-migrant Sirrey. Outside Sheffield, Benedict has recently played at
Berlin's infamous Paloma, has been a regular guest at Audioteca in
Napoli and regularly plays at Eastern Bloc Records in Manchester.

Benedict's Autumn Daze Mix - September 2024

The debut release on brand new imprint we_ctrl features solo tracks and a collaboration from
Manchester duo and label founders Tomson & Benedict.

Having worked together for a little less than 5 years, the pair embrace their similarities and
distinctions to great effect. Tomson with his trippy garage DNA and Benedict with his chuggy, tracky
chord led constitution, blend together into the kind of house, garage and techno they are known for.

The A side is the collaboration. 'Switch' is a straight forward slab of solid house music which builds
and builds on a simple groove to a peak of splashy rides, hypnotic melodies and sternum punching
bass.

The B side is where the Tomson & Benedict DNA code is split into their own solo cuts.
Benedict's 'Automatism', is full of warm sounds applied in the aggressive fashion, so endemic
through his solo productions. Tomson's 'Time for Change' features straight up solid lows and game
changing dancing highs with classic house chords throughout. This is the journey track if there ever
was one.

The wait will not be too long for the next instalment either. Solo EP's from the two will feature
before the autumn end featuring remixes from their favourites of the moment, Fulbert and Medlar.

i-D Mag - Huxley [i-DJ Feature] - Old School Garage Mix.

Having released on Freerange, Hudd Traxx, Morris Audio and Urban Torque, Mancunian duo Tomson & Benedict launch their own we_ctrl label in July with the 'we_ctrl 001' EP (released 2nd July on vinyl and 16th July on digital). The three tracks from it – one each solo, and another as a pair - feature on their podcast which digs deep into the revivalist bump of US garage. Showing its current widespread influence, with tracks ranging from the South Coast's Jordan Peak to Parisian Bambounou, a member of bass modernists ClekClekBoom, it's as stripped and raw as Tomson & Benedict's debut label release title, utilising classic 909 drums and organ sounds to evoke the true spirit of house.
