Ben Hemsley w. Volaris & Guests

Rerun that sh*t! March 16th sees the return of UK rave enthusiast Ben Hemsley to The Room of New York City’s Superior Ingredients.

It was just last April that he made his debut in the big apple, and with such an incredible reaction the first time, we’ve invited him straight back to do what he does best, raise the roof with his idiosyncratic sound.

The last two years have been something of a dream for Ben, a reality that he could have only fantasized of just a few years ago. It was only recently that he unveiled on his instagram that he was rejected from multiple universities, left jobless and wondering where his path in life was going to take him. Now, his story couldn’t be more different.

This summer, the tables turned quite drastically as he bagged himself his very own residency in Ibiza at ‘the home of the pool party’, Ibiza Rocks. Attracting crowds in their thousands each week, he reeled in a diverse throng of ravers oozing in enthusiasm to devour his fun-loving, intricate blends of trance, techno and euphoric dance - or as Ben likes to call it ‘old-school rave nostalgia’.

Though his multi-genre sound is hard to pinpoint, his potent blend has been flourishing throughout clubland in recent years and has garnered support from the likes Though his multi-genre sound is hard to pinpoint, his potent blend has been flourishing throughout clubland in recent years and has garnered support from the likes of Patrick Topping, Calvin Harris, Solardo, Radio 1’s Danny Howard and more.

The young lad has come a long way from his hometown of North Shields (just outside of Newcastle), after being picked up by fellow Geordie Patrick Topping a few years back. It is fair to say that now, Ben is in a league of his own, with over 100K followers on Instagram alone and one heck of a loyal fanbase.

After his breakthrough moment at one of the UK's largest and longest running electronic music festivals Creamfields in 2021 on Topping’s TRICK stage, he’s now regularly packing thousands-strong venues both in and out of his home country.

Defying convention and doing his own thing is a big part of Ben's appeal, so it came as little surprise when he launched a label of his own. Referencing one of his earlier hits Bebé Música, he launched bebé as a platform for him and his friends to express themselves and present a modernized version of trance and rave.

His sets take you on a journey through different eras of dance music, whilst signaling the future at the same time. To experience a set from Ben Hemsley, is to reinvent your idea of traditional house music realms. You’re welcome.

Taking the stage right before Ben Hemsley is none other than Volaris. Rapidly making a name for himself in the music scene with releases on Armada and Off The Grid Records, Volaris has quickly garnered recognition. He has toured internationally, sharing stages with artists like deadmau5, Mau P, and Franky Wah, and has released music on several labels, including Purified, Sola, and mau5trap.

We're also excited to welcome back Earth Signs, featuring the shuffle-queen Elena Cruz and Adam Friedman. Both are emerging talents in the electronic music scene, having opened for artists such as Gene Farris, Tini Gessler, Joshwa, and Jerro.

We’re excited to dance under the disco ball until the wheels fall off. If you haven’t secured your tickets yet, there is still time. See you on the dance floor!
