Ben Brown - Chinstroke/151 EP

Here’s some info about “151″, a new Ben Brown track on Audio Logic.

151 is a pretty straightforward progressive house banger with the production more focused on fx work and sequencing… It builds pretty well and has some great energy for use more during peak time sets. This one has recieved some support from Tiesto on his Club Life radio show in the spring of 2007 (forget which episodes). I also included this track on my “15 Minutes of Fame” guest mix on Tiesto’s Club Life show that appeared on another Club Life episode around the same time. I’ve been waiting to put out this track for a little over a year, so its nice to have it finally hitting the shelves.

-Ben

Here’s Audio Logic’s write-up on 151

151 is a progressive gem that sets the mood immediately and keeps the listener locked in. Ben uses an arpeggiated bass line to set the track apart and combines it with a funky melody that creates a relentless groove. 151 will raise energy levels in an intimate room or massive festivals making 151 a versatile weapon of choice for all DJs.

Release Date: March 10, 2009
