About Ben UFO

Ben UFO is a highly respected British DJ known for his eclectic and technically masterful approach to electronic music. He seamlessly blends diverse genres, including house, techno, dubstep, garage, grime, electro, breaks, acid, Chicago house, Detroit techno, EBM, and even afro-jazz and world music, creating dynamic and unpredictable sets. Uniquely, he has built his distinguished reputation solely as a selector and mixer, rather than a producer. He is also a co-founder of the influential Hessle Audio label, established in 2007 with Pearson Sound and Pangaea, which has been instrumental in shaping a visionary UK-rooted club sound. In terms of his latest endeavors, Ben UFO continues to maintain a busy touring schedule. He is slated to perform at numerous festivals and events throughout 2025 and 2026, including Golden Record NYC and Serum in January 2025, Rainbow Disco Club 2026 in Japan, Sunny Side Festival 2026 in Malta, Awakenings Upclose 2026 in the Netherlands, Primavera Sound Barcelona 2026 in Spain, and Dekmantel Festival 2026 in the Netherlands. Notably, he is scheduled for a back-to-back set with Avalon Emerson at Tomorrowland 2026 in Belgium. Other upcoming performances include Continuum and a show in Mexico City in December 2025, as well as a New Year's Eve back-to-back with Joy Orbison in Glasgow. He also continues to host the weekly Hessle Audio show on Rinse FM. Recent activity also includes a Mix Of The Day from the Sustain-Release festival in October 2025 and an appearance on The Lot Radio in April 2025.
