Ben UFOUK
Ben Thomson, known by the masses as Ben UFO, arrives with a simple offering: high-energy, club-focused DJ sets to bring dancefloors together.
Widely regarded as one of the UK’s premier selectors and mixers, he navigates a wide spectrum of sound—from techno and house to breakcore—inciting bodies to motion with precision and imagination. Layering deep, resonant basslines with off-kilter samples and playful percussion, his sets walk the delicate line between unpredictability and composure: his affinity for unfamiliar sounds guiding him toward sharp breaks and left-turns; his sense of rhythm keeping him steadfastly in the groove lane.
As the co-founder of the influential Hessle Audio label, Ben UFO has helped shape underground club culture far beyond the UK. Whether in Leeds, London, or across international dancefloors, his gravitational pull draws crowds into a shared pulse, transforming rooms into a unified whole.
