2007 - NEW YEAR’S EVE - 2008
Get set for a FESTIVE DOSE OF ‘AVINIT with the legendary Bristol party crew!
We’re pleased to announce the Ripsnorter debut of Ben Keen, aka BK, recognised the world over as the most successful and prolific hard dance producer of all time.
BK is best known for "Revolution", which entered BBC Radio One's daytime rotation in 2002 - a singular accomplishment for a hard house track. BK's albums and compilations have also garnered huge success, with his series of Nukleuz Presents compilations (including HardHouse Anthems) earning multiple Mixmag "Album of the Year" awards and the 2003 release Extreme Euphoria (Mixed By BK) the best-selling hard house album ever.
In a short period of time, BK has become recognized as not only a genre-defining producer with a cutting-edge, experimental approach, but also as a leading DJ on the world hard dance scene. By 2000, BK was already playing clubs around the world, headlining and appearing at all of the biggest dance events, including Dance Valley (100,000 people), Global Gathering, Gatecrasher, Impulse NL, Frantic, Creamfields, Godskitchen, Judgement Sunday Ibiza, Lashed in Ibiza, Gallery, Slinky, and Code Japan. He currently holds residencies at Frantic's Convergence, Nukleuz's Riot!, and Kinky's Trade.
His latest ‘Under The Influence’ series of collaberative EPs marks a new harder, more electro-influenced direction (sometimes known as ‘nu-rave’ or ‘new age rave’) and one that has been going down extremely well with The Rippers lately - Ben has been wanting the freedom to play a more underground, techno-tinged style (impossible at the larger anthem-hungry hard dance events) and we at Ripsnorter are very glad to give him that opportunity this New Year’s Eve.
