You would think that after writing BBC Radio One's "Record of the Year," coordinating a charity music education program which provides free lessons to underprivileged children, working with Grammy-winning producers, teaching music production at a university, performing in venues throughout the world, and managing four record labels, Ben Camp might need to take a break, but he would disagree.
Ben has found success with well-received releases on his Movim Recordings, Houseplant Records, Hatch Music and Human|Nature imprints, and three production deals with UK-based Silver Planet Recordings. He's also recorded and engineered with Grammy-winning producer David Ivory, received dancefloor support from DJs like Sasha, Sander, Digweed, Deep Dish, Josh Wink, Ferry Corsten, and performed all over the world, from Turnmills in London to the internationally-renowned music events at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Even after all this, he's not content to rest on his laurels, and continues to look to the future. After talking with Ben for even a few minutes, you'll understand that his endless passion for music has instilled in him a desire to constantly explore new territory. His current side project with members of the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra and Arts in Motion (a non-profit arts education and classical music organization), fuses together his favorite type of music -- bass-heavy dancefloor beats -- with complex harmonic structures and musical traditions that have stood the test of time. In Ben's latest club productions you can hear the intricate melodies of Bach and Beethoven dancing overtop a throbbing rhythmic tapestry, layered with swirls of stirring electronic soundscapes. Just picture "Switched-On Bach" toughened up for the 21st century, performed with some of the world's greatest classical virtuosi, married to an irresistible electronic rhythm. You'll start to get the idea.
