After spending many years as a singer and guitarist in various bands, Ben Lost eventually started his career in dance music back in 1999 working for Pinnacle Distribution. His love for the trancier side of house music had been defined two years earlier, with tracks such as Sunscreem's ‘Perfect Motion' and Three Drives ‘Greece 2000' introducing Ben to a more melodic yet funky side of club music. Ben began spending many of his weekends at UK clubs such as Gatecrasher and The Gallery, where DJ sets from the likes of Nick Warren, Nigel Dawson and Paul Oakenfold had a heavy influence on Ben's musical taste.
It was these influences which led Ben to join as head of A&R at Lost Language Records in 2001 with a view to developing the progressive trance offshoot. During his time with Lost Language, Ben has been responsible for the release of over 40 tracks, including releases from Solar stone, Tilt and Lustral and has recently set up another new label project called ‘Precinct'.
As the Lost Language label has grown, so has Ben's profile as a DJ. His uniquely melodic and groove based sound has seen Ben rise to a position as one of the scene's most exciting new talents around. This talent has taken him to many of the world’s best clubs including The Gallery and Godskitchen in the UK and to clubs in countries such as Finland, Germany, Israel, Japan, Russia and the USA.
In the studio, Ben has written songs for Ashtrax album due released on Global Underground in 2005, with the ‘Digital Reason' single, featuring Ben on vocals, getting licensed to Paul Van Dyk's Politics of Dancing album and also the Ministry of Sound Annual back in 2003. Alongside this, Ben's collaborated with The Young Parisians entitled 'Jump The Next Train', released on January 2005 release and had support from Paul Oakenfold, Way Out West. Armin Van Buuren and Paul Van Dyk amongst others.
2004 brought more exciting opportunities as Ben launched his brand new show on Ministry of Sound Radio and toured the Far East - but the biggest opportunity came in 2005 when he was approached by legendary UK promoter and DJ Scott Bond, in regards to Ben signing as exclusive resident for his new club project ‘Ahead' - a project which has so far been going from strength to strength.
"Ben Lost is also the vocalist behind "Won't Sleep Tonight" by Super 8 & Dj Tab"
especialy the last sentence.
