Ben Pest @ Substance

As a solo artist, Ben recently swaggered his way onto the scene with the excellent "Flood Damage" (Agresa EP, Victim Recs) and stellar appearances at the likes of Uglyfunk in London. He's perhaps better known however as a member of the band PEST, a brilliantly original collective who epitomize the Ninja Tune label on which they have released: "a multi-talented bunch of varied stock musicians, who come together and produce a cultural crucible of music which happily defies any succinct pigeon-holes". In addition, Ben forms one half of THE BLACK-E with the highly respected CRISTIAN VOGEL, who together impressed at year's BLOC festival with their live performance of full-on electronic improvisation.

Undoubtedly a massively talented musician, Ben's solo Scottish live debut is eagerly awaited by us - quality club electronica packed full of wonky elasticity, quirky samples and weighty bass punch.
