THE ART OF JUNGLE
Benjamin Walsh has brought over two decades of experience at the forefront of Australian Bass Music to create his latest project Solo Flight, which is both a live jungle show and studio album.
Live "breaks" and "Studio Takes" Jungle Rhythm is a science that Benjamin Walsh has perfected for over 25 years.
As a drummer he is one of the leading advocates of this form and his trademark explosive live shows leave no dancefloor unturned.
Jungle Music in itself revolutionized the electronic dance world in the early 1990's and gave rise to BASS MUSIC, highlighting the mutitude of forms that have evolved. This album returns us to the origins and revives this wonderful artform.
Ben’s Jungle Revival show is a modern direction from a long path well traveled.
Spinning up acapellas off turntables, triggering voice activated bombastic basslines to shake the building and drumming up a storm, the live show brings back Jungle culture in a way to educate the new generation.
The show brings new tunes mixed from the ingredients of Jazz, Soul and 1970's Funk played out on a collection of vintage - brought to life rather than sampled.
Ben's original group THE BIRD formed in 1996 and were pioneers of live electronic music in his home of Australia.
They were some of the first live Drum ‘n’ Bass performances down under, and paved the way for Bass Music and live acts at a time when DJ's ruled the electronic festival scene.
His brand new album SOLO FLIGHT is his greatest testament to the art of the "Live Break" and signals a new direction on his own.
This album features live drum takes in the studio and is dedicated to Gregory Coleman - the originator of the Amen break and drummer of "The Winstons".
