Artist Spotlight
Italian-born Ben Kim’s sound certainly evokes the underground, but don’t be too quick to put him in a box. While his music is steeped in distinct tech house flavor, each track is varied and infused with its own recognizable individuality. Kim’s ability to skirt strict labels has led to recognition from the likes of Jamie Jones, Dennis Cruz, LEON, and more. Earlier this year, he earned his first Beatport #1 with his remix of Jefferson Airplane’s classic “Somebody to Love,” released on Gorgon City’s REALM Records.
