   About Ben Parker

Hello! :)

Welcome to my profile!

My name is Ben Parker and i'm 18 years old.

I first got into Trance music when I was about 10 years old, after hearing the remix by Ferry Corsten of William Orbit's version of "Adagio for Strings" and the brilliant "Angel" by Ralph Fridge, which I remember hearing in the UK Charts. However it wasn't until about 2004/2005 that I decided to really get more interested in the genre. Then in 2006 I started producing, at first using the Dance eJay 7 program which kinda sucked for what I wanted, so then in 2007 I upgraded to FL Studio 7 on the XXL Edition. After a couple of years on the software I found that I really needed to use a more advanced and versatile program. Therefore, i'm now using Ableton Live 6 for all my production and mixing stuff. I find it has all the tools you need, some very nice plug-ins and some other handy stuff. Additional i'm using various VST plugins such as reFX Nexus, Zebra2, Rob Papen's Predator, z3ta+ and more. :)

So far i've had one release, a collaboration with Russian DJ Ex-Driver. This release called "Turbulence" had great support from the likes of Tiesto and Ferry Corsten!

I don't just produce Trance however. Whilst it may be my primary style for production, I like to experiment with different things. I'm a big fan of chillout/downtempo stuff, and have my own alias for my own tracks in this genre called 'Crystalix'. My first mix with this alias, a chillout mix of Sylva is currently work in progress. :)

If you wanna know more, either send me a message, leave me a comment or give me a friend request. :)

What's goin' on Ben Parker? Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. The music that flows from your instruments overwhelms me with creativity. How it passes there and back again like a tear drop glistening in moonlight. Transistors bridge where your vanity would never go. I desire to see life through your hallucinations so that they massage my viscera into an eternal state of turgid flux. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me.
