Artist Interview
...I love a groovey bassline, catchy vocals and hypnotic rhythms...
Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.
My name is Ben Lawrence and I have been a DJ for only a few years now, starting as a bedroom DJ during lockdown. I would class myself as a multi genre DJ for those that are unfamiliar with my name and DJ sound. As you'll find when listening to a lot of my mixes I love a groovey bassline, catchy vocals and hypnotic rhythms to try and keep the energy high and take everybody on a journey with me by dipping into various genres.
I have had many club/bar managers turn me away or not getting back to me when asking for gigs.
Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.
A positive message to those that have just started will be to keep practicing, keep working, be patient and most importantly always be humble. I have had many club/bar managers turn me away or not getting back to me when asking for gigs. I still get no's now but the main thing is to stay positive and stay patient as something will always come up.
What artists have inspired your DJ style?
A few of my favourite DJ's are all based in the north east/scotland so I guess that's where I take a lot of my inspiration from. However one artist in particular who has a huge amount of influence on me and that's Patrick Topping. He's introduced me to a lot of my favourite songs and always come away from his sets highly inspired.
Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.
I hope you enjoyed listening to my podcast mix as much as I did curating and recording it. The track selection process I found quite difficult because there is so many good tunes I wanted to play, but in the end I just went with 20 of my favourite songs to help portray my personality through the power of dance music.
