Read the Ben Chemikal Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I've been producing dance music for over 10 years now, ranging from house, to glitch hop, and tons of genres in between!
I also have a monthly glitch hop mix series called "Trigger Fingers" where I showcase original productions, mashups, and tons of fresh funky tunes!
You can keep up to date with my music and download past shows for free at https://soundcloud.com/benchemikal
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My influences have largely stayed the same over the years, although it's safe to say I think the music itself has grown vastly. The sounds that originally inspired me, I used to only hear in speed garage tracks back in the 2000s era. After a few more years went by, those same bass sounds ended up being prominent in Dubstep, Glitch Hop, and now they are showing up in Bass House / Future House
What´s new right now?
I have huge remix in the works for Beatsmith that I'll hopefully be able to preview soon, and I'll have my January edition of my "Trigger Fingers" Glitch Hop DJ set uploaded by January 20th!
