BEN KENOBI
LOVE AND RHYTHM COALITION - COLUMBUS
HOUSE / SPEED GARAGE / BREAKS / DRUM N BASS / ACID JAZZ
A longstanding veteran, Ben Kenobi is one of the most versatile DJS in the pb-cle area. I've seen him play booty house, speed garage, nu skool breaks, intelligent jungle, acid jazz, you name it. He personally blew me away with his early morning acid jazz set at Unity 2000.
He played another memorable acid jazz set in the second room of Grrr... for me. It was one of the highlights of my night, and a perfect way to end my third party.
INFLUENCES?
"does it sound good, does it move you, make you smile, tap your toe, drive 5mph faster or slower... yea, i dig!"
ON HIS MUSIC:
"what summons tears at the loss of a friend, or warmth from an awesome landscape... i don't know, or not in such a way that i can accurately put it in words... color, tone, warmth, dissonance, harmony, richness, texture, soul, vibrance, when shit just clicks and makes you... do."
"pick your parties, be aware of who you support, don't hate, inspire and create, add don't subtract, we all live in the same bucket... be careful where you pee."
