Ben started his career in the early 1990's being a resident DJ at the former Hamburg Brainstorm club playing rather harder techno music. His sets became more versatile as he played in different clubs like Hamburg's Front or Unit. With the emerge of Goa trance music and its growing popularity in Germany Ben specialized in that genre playing his sets on open air festivals like the VooV Experience. In the early days of psychedelic trance parties in Germany he was one of a few skilled artists who clung strictly to the concept of beatmixing during the sets while other Goa DJs were still crossfading endings and beginnings of songs at wrong tempo (mostly those parts where there was no beat). His skill and sense for what makes people move on the dancefloor made him become a most wanted international DJ act.Since 2004 he runs his own label PLANET B.E.N. RECORDS based in japan.
new album release soon march/april 2007!!

The Heat
Planet B.E.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Geeked and freaked out, make the meek bow down
Compound the holy grail sound with the criminal underground
Hundred round for before the mortician makes his rounds
Go pound for pound, ounce for ounce, we'll match
Burn the ash of the opponent that we once dispatched
Then relapse to the path, hit the ground moving fast
They attached to the smack so we cooking it from scratch
Oh, you heard about Klamacc? He got shot in the back
Attack the racks, hold tight and grip the strap
Flip the pack to the alley cat 'fore the sun come back
Shift the crack to the room, the impending doom looms
The defendant's tomb croons for a good view of the moon
Gold spun from my loom, street activity resumes
You never knew been through this shit since 0'2
I'm from the east where killers sleep with guns in bedsheets
Can barely sleep, the semi automat claps on repeat
And reheat the street for a fatality's fee
And we never speaking on the banality of G's
Naught can budge you, especially in gulag's roof
God can judge you, the devil do a good job too
You a fool if you acting like he never knew
He flew through the hood, breaking through, in pursuit
Of some better days, ain't no one better got played
Better be safe, or the better man's Beretta might spray
Away with your pains, my image breaks through the frame
I play no games I try and locate perdition's gate

As hell slowly heats, I rise slowly to my feet
As things get tougher, I gather my strength to face the challenges
Geeked and freaked out, make the meek bow down
Full of energy and determination, ready to face anyone
Compound the holy grail sound with the criminal underground
Combining the best of both worlds, mixing the sacred with the profane
Hundred round for before the mortician makes his rounds
Preparing ourselves for the worst, expecting the worst case scenario
Go pound for pound, ounce for ounce, we'll match
Ready for a fair fight, matching our opponent's strength
Burn the ash of the opponent that we once dispatched
Remembering our past victories, and learning from them
Then relapse to the path, hit the ground moving fast
Returning to our purpose, and charging ahead with renewed determination
They attached to the smack so we cooking it from scratch
Our adversaries are too reliant on shortcuts, so we put in the hard work
And we booking it past the junkies newscast
Not letting the distractions of others slow us down
Oh, you heard about Klamacc? He got shot in the back
Ignoring the gossip and drama of others, focusing on our own challenges
Attack the racks, hold tight and grip the strap
Going on the offensive, staying alert and ready for anything
Flip the pack to the alley cat 'fore the sun come back
Outsmarting our foes, staying ahead of them on all fronts
Shift the crack to the room, the impending doom looms
Acknowledging the risks and dangers we face, yet still pushing forward
The defendant's tomb croons for a good view of the moon
Reflecting on the consequences of our actions, and striving for clarity
Gold spun from my loom, street activity resumes
Despite the challenges we face, we continue to work hard and push ahead
You never knew been through this shit since 0'2
Others may underestimate us, but we have been through tough times before
I'm from the east where killers sleep with guns in bedsheets
Coming from a place where danger is always lurking, we remain vigilant
Can barely sleep, the semi automat claps on repeat
The sound of gunshots is a constant reminder of the dangers we face
And reheat the street for a fatality's fee
Continuing to work hard, taking risks, even in the face of danger
And we never speaking on the banality of G's
Avoiding complacency, and staying focused on our goals
Naught can budge you, especially in gulag's roof
Staying steadfast, even in the most difficult of circumstances
God can judge you, the devil do a good job too
Focusing on our own actions and decisions, while being aware of the dangers that lurk
You a fool if you acting like he never knew
Acknowledging the risks and dangers of our actions, and still persevering
He flew through the hood, breaking through, in pursuit
Overcoming obstacles, taking control of our own future
Of some better days, ain't no one better got played
Working hard to create a better future for ourselves, without relying on others
Better be safe, or the better man's Beretta might spray
Being aware of the dangers around us, and taking precautions to stay safe
Away with your pains, my image breaks through the frame
Pushing past the obstacles and pain, creating a new image for ourselves
I play no games I try and locate perdition's gate
Staying focused on our goals, even in the face of adversity
