Mix from Ben Alan – Outstanding DJ Representing Louisville, KY

As you may know, Resonant Vibes is based in Louisville, Kentucky. I grew up here, moved away for college and law school, and then returned in 2003 to practice corporate law. When I came back to town, I (of course) went on the hunt for good local electronic music – which, incidentally, is how Sam and I became friends. After going out for awhile to various local electronic music events, I eventually crossed paths with another local DJ named Ben Alan (known to a select few as "Bendro").

Ben is the perfect example of a great underground DJ who gets nowhere near the recognition he’s due. This guy’s been keepin’ it real behind the decks for years! …no big checks for gigs, no glamorous magazine photo shots or anything like that…just die hard devotion to the music. Ben’s always known what’s up when it comes to music, and he has a knack for taking you where you want to go – nothing commercial, strictly real deal tunes.

If there’s one DJ skill Ben is lacking, it’s the skill of self-promotion. He’s admitted that to me before…so it’s my pleasure to do a little promotion for him here.

The mix I’ve posted here is a recent promo from Ben, and I’m digging it fo’ sho’ ;) When I first heard Ben playing, he was really into progressive house…but over the past couple years, he’s become a techno/tech house man…so that’s what you’ll get with this mix…mind-bending techno from a DJ representing RV’s hometown, Louisville! …Enjoy!

I should also point out that this is yet another quality mix that’s available for free in the RV Network! I’m absolutely stoked about the killer content that’s coming in!
