Here’s a rare Ben Sims set from Adelaide, 2003, recovered thanks to local legend Jorge Watts, who also played that night. Some words from him are below.

When I came back to Australia from living in Chicago, my partner in techno crime ‘Glenny’, Mr Paul Glenn said to me let’s start up a monthly techno night at Minke. And we did, with the sole intention of bringing our hero to town, the three deck legend Ben Sims. I set up my Tascam DA-30 Mk II DAT machine and we asked Ben if we could record, to which he graciously said yes… Here is the recording of that magical night.

Enjoy,
Wattsy
