Exclusive Electro Funk mix for Electronic Beats Radio, 2012-02
Pitchben - The first time you’ll enjoy a slap

It’s the 80s. A young boy is growing up to the soundtrack of Electro Funk, drawing influence from the likes of Jackson, The Whispers and D-Train and developing a genuine passion for music.

Around 20 years later in 2011, he releases his debut album Pitchslap on Compost Records under his new moniker Pitchben.
Formerly known as DJ M-Tech and member of the DJ crew Needle Addicts he had become one of the key figures in the world of scratching and turntablism, before he returned to his roots of Funk and Disco.

Nowadays he performs live with a guitarist, electric bass player, drummer and vocalists and his masterly arranged productions are teamed up with huge synths and authentic orchestral scores. For Electronic Beats he created a set featuring artists like Groove Democracy and Siriusmo.

Enjoy this exclusive journey to his interpretation of Electro Funk!
