Kanye West released remix parts for Love Lockdown in Fall 0f 2008. I picked up the remix stems up and came up with this little jam. I’d say its a groovey prog houser, but genres lines can be tricky.. definitely a little more mainstream appeal than most of my other work.
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.

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.
Here’s some info the new Ben Brown track, titled “Chinstroke”. The track is out on March 10, 2009 on Audio Logic Recordings. Some people have asked where I got the name for this one… a good friend of mine and fellow dj/producer use the term to describe people that go out to clubs and stroke their chins, analyzing and critiquing music instead of enjoying it and having a good time. I’ll admit though I’m guilty of being “chinstroker” occassionally… it comes with the territory.
Chinstroke showcases Audio Logic’s distinctive progressive sound. The track starts with slamming percussion that builds with an airy tension. Haunting melodies captivate the listener in a rage of energy as the lead filters in and out. The driving bass line creates an intense experience as the track builds and channels incredible energy. Chinstroke has a fantastic vibe that will become a favorite on dance floors across the globe.
Audio Logic has allowed for early samples of the tracks to be available for streaming and download, including direct downloads and a torrent for your convenience.Check them out below.

Progressive-Sounds.com has given a 9/10 rating to “The Fix” release, which includes a remix by Ben Brown.
Here’s a snippet:
Chicago native Ben Brown has quickly built a name for himself with his punchy big room electro influenced progressive house style. A thicker, more heavy bass accompanies washy dirty effected synths while the acid sits in the background. The new bass, similar to what Prydz may do, is creative and sounds fresh in how he works all the other parts. The synths become twisted and hypnotic in a big room style. And a massive peak towards the end that never seems to end makes this essential for any quality DJ.
