Ben Soundscape is a drum & bass producer from Bristol, UK. As well as producing solo tracks for labels like Dispatch, V Recordings and Prestige Music, he’s also one half of The Insiders and one third of Mosaic.

Over many years The Insiders achieved sought-after releases with their brand of deep liquid funk. They clocked up an impressive discography on labels like Renegade Recordings, V Recordings, Frontline, Defunked and 31 Recordings. With his production partner moving into other fields Ben branched out on his own, recording under the name Ben Soundscape.

Ben is the man behind the highly successful Intrigue events in Bristol and his own label, Intrigue Music. With the quality of music the label continues to release, it’s no wonder Intrigue Music attracts major attention and support from both DJs, heads and the press alike.

During the lockdowns of 2020/21 Ben presented a weekly livestream with partner in crime Collette Warren. The show was received with much critical acclaim across the scene, picking up a nomination for ‘Best Livestream’ at the Drum & Bass Arena awards in 2021.

Recently Ben has been busy in the studio working on new material. He has lined up a slew of releases for 2023, including EPs on Dispatch and Intrigue, and singles for Innerground and Dispatch. He also has a track forthcoming on Sofa Sound with RoyGreen & Protone as part of the ‘Sofa King Sick’ series.
