Ben Phipps is shrinking the distance between dance and indietronica with his unique blend of genres.

The Stockholm-based producer has just shared ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ featuring Mike Ruby, possibly his strongest track to date.

More and more house producers are entering the realm of indietronica.

Meet Ben Phipps, a twenty-five year old deep house producer from Stockholm, who is doing just that. And successfully might we add.

He chose to pursue further education overseas in the US and attended the reputable school for music-production, Dubspot in New York City in 2012. Opening doors and opportunities of all kinds through new skills, connections and exciting combinations in sound, Ben Phipps continued strongly through his next two years splitting his time between NYC, Toronto and Montreal refining his craft, songs and style.

He has enlisted the luscious vocals of Ashe on his latest endeavour called ‘Alive’.
