Listen to two new superlative mixes from Ben UFO

Dekmantel provided two of our favourite presents of the festive season, dropping a fresh Ben UFO mix on both Christmas and New Year’s Day.

The London-based DJ was tasked with headlining the main stage of Dekmantel’s flagship Amsterdam festival last summer, and these two diverse yet equally impressive mixes underscore why he’s heralded among the finest in the world, flawlessly moving through slippery, dynamic and mind-bending selections.

Speaking about the podcasts, Ben UFO said: “I went about this in the same way I would go about making a tape: two distinct but related ideas that I think work better on their own than if I'd tried to jam them together somehow.”

Dekmantel outlines that “side-a [is] an often heady affair with plenty of open space for you to get lost in" and "side-b plots a more high pressure and intense trajectory.”
