Ben UFO For Rinse:016

New mix confirmed

Hessle Audio guru Ben UFO is set to take charge of the forthcoming Rinse:016 mix.

Dubstep has fragmented beyond any recognition. The days of being able to construct a mix at 140 BPM are long gone, with different tempos and different styles making themselves known on the bass scene.

Ben UFO has sat at the heart of these changes. Making his name solely as a DJ, the turntablist is also one of the three minds who chair Hessle Audio.

One of the most vital imprints on the dubstep scene, Hessle Audio has released some outstanding cuts. Holding down a slot on Rinse FM, Ben UFO was the logical choice for the next instalment of the station’s mix series.

Now onto its 16th instalment, the Rinse mixes are a vital cross section of the bass scene in Britain. Previous mixes have come from Plastician, Geeneus, Skream, Skepta and more giving it an almost unrivalled pedigree.

Taking hold of the 16th Rinse mix, Ben UFO has prepared a typically diverse compilation. Crossing genres and styles, what holds the mix together is the thick bass sound which oozes from each cut.

Mixing exclusive cuts with some huge tracks, Ben UFO keeps it diverse throughout. Joy O & Boddika make an appearance with ‘Swims’ while German techno producer Actress supplies ‘Ghosts Have A Heaven’.

Opening with a number of deep, bass driven house tracks from the likes of Aaron Carl, Kassem Mosse and STL the forthcoming mix then gets heavy with Karenn’s ‘Caretaker’ and a grime influenced track from Jam City.

The full tracklisting for the release has yet to be confirmed, but if you need a taster then tune into Ben UFO’s shows on Rinse FM on the first and third Thursday’s of each month 2300–0100 GMT.

‘Rinse:016 – Ben UFO’ is due to be released on September 19th.
