One of the world’s best. Hessle Audio co-founder Ben UFO will bring his adventurous versatility to Southwark Park in August.

Powered by a rare contradiction – the ability to make the most abstract, experimental sounds feel highly intimate and danceable – Ben UFO is as comfortable tearing through rare Detroit techno and classic Chicago house records as he is UK underground sounds, jungle, grime and dubstep. Genre poses more of a building block than any kind of constraint - the blank canvas for the unexpected. And with insane technical ability, shifting between disparate styles and speeds that may otherwise sound disjointed.

He puts it best himself: “the most interesting music manages to collapse the distinctions between the accessible and the sophisticated, the populist and the experimental.” This ethos drives his uniquely expansive yet sharply curated approach - ignoring genre and geography, mixing 4/4 grooves, obscure gems, and leftfield oddities with seamless precision. His technical finesse and unrelenting commitment to discovery have earned him a reputation as one of the most consistently respected and in-demand DJs of his generation—someone who doesn’t just play music, but reshapes how it’s understood on the dancefloor.

A rare chance to catch Ben UFO within an intimate-feeling, curated stage, alongside a plethora of fellow underground and cutting-edge talent.
