Ben

Ben EshmadeTo sum up in a few short paragraphs is a bit like squeezing one of the Roly Poly's into a size zero leotard. There's a lot to fit in. But here goes....

Ben, a radio producer and founder of the Arctic Circle, is a visionary, a grafter and an all round good guy (with a penchant for tea and cake).

His radio career began at his local Essex station before he went national at Classic FM. Here things really took off for him and he found himself producing shows for the likes of Mark Goodier and Simon Bates as well as crafting a series of eclectic one-off documentaries. He also created his own show, bringing a slice of minimalism, ambient and film music to the station every weekend. A cult hit, that has now transferred to digital station Chill.

It was the success of this boundary-pushing that led Ben to his current project - The Arctic Circle club night. The circle, which counts The Spitz as its home address, is a fast growing community of all that's cool in contemporary music. Think cutting edge classical, lap top ambience, live electronica and DJ sets in a relaxed environment and you're pretty much there. Still only in its second year, the night has exceeded even Ben's high expectations.

That doesn't mean he hasn't had time to work on his plans for world domination. He's also been able to add recording artist to his list of talents, adding his French horn finesse to recordings for the likes of Dollboy, Gavouna, Psapp, Vincent Oliver & Songdog. So as you can see - he's a busy boy indeed.....
