[FONT=&quot]As a solo artist, Ben’s DJ schedule is busier than ever and his performances behind the decks undoubtedly reflect his hip hop roots, and it is clear that it is behind the turntables that he can truly express himself. As Ben himself says “I see the two as parallel musical forms with no constraints – techno is always changing and always moving, and hip hop is exactly the same”. It is because of this inventive and innovative attitude to his profession that Ben set up his Ergonomix label, an imprint influenced by Jeff Mills ‘Cycle 30’ release, solely devoted to locked grooves. In 2008, Ben celebrates his fifteenth year as both a DJ and recording artist. His love of electronic music remains as strong as ever, and his enthusiasm undiminished. With a stack of new music ready to be released, and worldwide bookings well into the year already confirmed, you can expect to see Ben Long and The Space DJ’z around for some considerable time yet.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]One half of the best UK techno duo SPACE DJ’s delivers his first solo mix compilation recorded live at the WINTERWORLD festival in Germany. BEN LONG runs the Potential Records label and is an in-demand DJ on the international techno scene, either on his own or with fellow SPACE DJ Jamie Bissmire.This mix is a tour-de–force of in-your-face techno and features some of the brightest stars on the international underground scene such as Patrick Skoog from Sweden, Spiros Kaloumenos from Greece, Misjah from Holland, Marco Bailey from Belgium and Valentino Kanzyani from Slovenia. Ben took their music and blended it into a mix that never lets go…and its firm grip was equally efficient live in front of thousands of enthusiastic dancers at the Winterworld ‘mega-rave’ as it is today on this album. Ben Long’s debut mix CD is a definitive confirmation of his reputation as a first-class techno DJ.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
