For many, Ben Pearce is a name  synonymous with his breakout hit ‘What I Might Do’, a genre-spanning, deep  house anthem that dominated club floors across the world in 2012, and shot to  number one in the all-genre charts on Beatport and is still in the Shazam top  twenty one year later. This brought instant support from the likes of Jamie  Jones, Solomun, Pete Tong and Annie Mac who played the track repeatedly on BBC  Radio One and the track went on to go Platinum in mainland Europe.  
                              
                            However Ben is anything but a  one-hit-wonder. A hugely talented underground DJ first-and-foremost  who's ability to work with a range of musical genres have propelled  him into clubs such as Sub Club (Glasgow), In:Motion (Bristol), Warehouse  Project (Manchester), Shine (Belfast), Junk (Southampton), Air (Amsterdam),  Digital (Newcastle), Kassette (Istanbul), Last Resort (Miami) and to festivals  such as Glastonbury (UK), Hideout (Croatia), Pukkelpop (Belgium) and Parklife  Festival in his native Manchester. He’s also becoming increasingly known for  his remixing abilities, the coming year will see him reworking the likes of Le  Youth and Redlight. The latter parts of 2013 will see Ben release original  material and continue a busy touring schedule.  
                              
                            The bedrock for his future  production output is Manchester based Purp & Soul record label, for which  Ben acts as both label-boss and A&R. With existing releases from young UK  house innovators like Harry Wolfman, Real Connoisseur and 2ndSun, it’s shaping  up to be one of the UK’s most exciting up and coming underground  imprints. As British house music expands its horizons into the charts, Ben  is sticking firmly to his underground roots whilst continuing to make music  that transcends the confines of any one particular genre, promising some truly  exciting times ahead.   |
