About this item

Ben is a Detroit-based producer who makes up half of Symptoms of Love, along with BPT records alum Ryan Spencer. He here brings us a 4 tracker of the absolute highest order. It both sounds like music that no one else is making, while also sounding like a pastiche of everything that you've ever liked in the past. The magic formula baby!! Shall we walk thru the music together?

BPT founder and music's #1 man Jeremy Castillo has described the EP absolutely brilliantly as such: "YMO style dissonant electro with a Detroit touch on the a side, with pitched down Patrick Cowley psychedelic Macarena on the B-side.

The A1 and title track is an incredible statement of intent from Ben - it really does sound like if Hosono grew up in Detroit listening to Electrifying Mojo. It's an absolute blast of sunlight coming through your headphones. Press play and watch your vitamin D levels rise!

A2 cut 'Music Remembers' is a groovy joy ride reminiscent of Galaxy II Galaxy, complete with re-pitched vocal chops and 808 claps galore. This will hit SO hard on a spring day if you live in a city currently blanketed in snow.

On the flip, B1 'Whose Water' will be a big hit with anyone who dug Dam Funk's Garret project. Introspective downtempo synth fans rejoice! And we wrap a stellar outing with B2's 'New Sun' - a propulsive cosmic workout that will open up any dancefloor. The psychedelic Macarena is right baby!

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Causing more excitement than a vinyl DJ at an EDM festival. Ben Christensen presents a New Sound from Detroit. Playful & tipping his hat to New Yorkers Mantronix; it's a radiant and fully realized sound that's got us all in a flutter here at HQ. Don't sleep!
