As we retreat indoors after this glorious and extended summer we head into basements for our musical fixes. The past few months are now immortalised by certain tunes that captured us in that moment, that place, that dancefloor which encapsulated our summer.
One artist that stood out in 2013 was Breach and he comes to Pygmalion for a set this Friday, the 11th of October. His track ‘Jack’ is being hailed as an anthem and can be found on numerous summer mixes. The man behind that moniker is English DJ/producer Ben Westbeech who now operates out of Amsterdam.
Westbeech was signed to Brownswood Recordings in 2007 by the label’s pioneering founder BBC radio 6 music’s broadcaster and DJ Gilles Peterson. Peterson’s mission in life is to ‘Search for the Perfect Beat’. We are all beneficiaries of this insatiable quest of his. Gilles is the compilation king and his ear is permanently rooted to the electro scene and with Westbeech he managed to unearth another gem. Westbeech has been in the finest musical hands since he released his debut album ‘Best Years of Your Life’ on the Brownswood label in ’07.
With Brownswood he explored his jazz, house and electro sensibilities with exciting results. He partnered with the Berlin DJ collective Jazzanova producing the cracking tune ‘I Can See’.
Since then he has explored some deeper house under the stage name Breach. The results of which will be on show this Friday as he takes to the decks. Deep, dark, dancefloor enthusiasts will revel in this one.
The Abstract & Bedlam crews combine to deliver another top booking.
Support on the night is from the Bedlam DJs & an Abstract favourite Colin Perkins, follow the link to check out his recent Radiomade Abstract set.
