Damn.. I'm pretty sure he introduced himself to me at Bloc Weekend. Went with him to the bar to buy him a drink but lost him before we got there.

RIP :(

omg no, this is dreadful news. 1st day back on-line this month and Im reading this.

Ben was the very 1st person I met from the Dubstepforum, we spoke for ages about old skool music and the rise of dubstep.

My thoughts are with his family right now, christ, Im gob-smacked, only saw him recently.

We're cutting a record for Ben this Tuesday in tribute to his amazing talent and energy for the music scene in general.

Ben never had a dedicated release of his own bar DLD#2 so we feel its right to get this sorted and present Ben's music to a wider audience than just his close friends.

It's coming out on his own label Brackout and will feature 3 very different tracks representing all the varied styles Ben was into and playing at the time before he passed away. This will be the ever delayed debut release of one of Ben's pseudonyms 'Wi-Fi Of The Undead'

This release has been purely funded by donations from his many friends & family members and all being well if it sells, then we can go out and cut 02 straight away and keep this ball rolling for a while.

If you would like to donate to this release then please send any monies through paypal too: info@plexlondon.com

Anything is gratefully received and will help a great deal in getting this done.

Donators of £20 (or more) will be receiving a limited coloured vinyl copy complete with hand stencilled sleeve - there are only 50 of these in total being pressed (there are approximately 16 left, first come first served etc)
There will be 500 standard black vinyl copies with sleeve art - distribution TBC.

Stay tuned.

Many thanks,

James & Luke xx

Right the limited edition pressings are ALL gone now, just the normal pressing left! There are plenty of those..

I think we may have oversold by 1 or 2 so i need to check who sent money this morning 1st - those that miss out are entitled to a full refund if they so wish or they will get 2 copies of the normal pressing. There isn't much more i can do other than that i am afraid.

If you send £20 from now on you will not be getting a limited edition copy unfortunately.

PM/email me if unsure.

Cheers

Digital copies including FLAC, 320's & V0's all will be made available a few days after the vinyl drops..

Needless to say that if we get enough support on this release there is a shit-load more to come from Ben's music vaults..

That's most kind, thanks a lot!

This release has been purely funded by donations from his many friends and family so without that it wouldn't be happening.
