Ben Wu has been DJ'ing for over a decade. His style has constantly been evolving and changing from day one. You could describe his music now as being somewhere between Techno and House depending on Ben's mood and the gig. He does have a fondness for that Acid sound though….."Everybody needs a little 303."

 

From 1998 to 2003, while attending Eastern Michigan University, Ben spent weekends traveling all over Detroit, Ohio and especially Canada playing late night raves and nightclubs. Some of Ben Wu's highlights include playing the infamous Motor Lounge in Detroit and Ann Arbor's Necto many times, holding a Saturday residency at Detroit Science and even playing the World Electronic Music Festival (WEMF) in Toronto

 

In 2002, his mix-CD, "PHUNKY MONKEY V.2", turned heads across the country getting reviewed in the October issue of the electronic music magazine, URB. That same year, Ben started his weekly internet radio show of the same name on Toronto's Club 246.

At the end of 2003, Ben and his wife Natalie packed it up and moved to San Diego to experience something new and to see what the Left Coast had to offer. The offerings were plentiful as he spent the next 3 years headlining shows up and down the coast from San Diego to L.A. to San Francisco. He was also continuing to run and promote his highly successful internet mix show and frequently came back to his hometown of Detroit to play, especially during the Detroit Electronic Music Festival weekend.

Today, that crazy thing called life has brought Ben and his family to Indianapolis and back to the Mid-West scene. The area has welcomed him back with open arms. Not only has he played locally numerous times, but Fort Wayne, Detroit, St. Louis, Louisville, and Chicago have all shown him love with the opportunity to do what he does best, which is rock a dancefloor. Ben has had the great honor to have headlined Chicago’s Ruby, Wax and Vision Nightclubs on several occasions.

Ben Wu is the Manager of the Indiana branch of Bang Tech 12. This Detroit based DJ/Producer collective and Management Company is dedicated to bringing the masses the best in electronic music and has done so since 1996. Since then, it has expanded to hold offices in 5 States. WIth the help of Taylor Norris and Sneaky, Ben is helping promote electronic music in Indiana the same way he manages a dancefloor, with integrity and passion.
