Ben Giovanni
 Tracing the roots of Ben's musical style to his childhood, this native of Poland and Italy, spent time in Poland with his father during his youth... exposing him to early 70's electronic music as an everyday soundtrack. With a natural pull towards uplifting melodies, Ben Giovanni has quickly proven to be a tough contender amongst the top veteran djs of Vancouver. Coupled with his unique tracklisting's of exclusive material written by himself, and unreleased tunes from many recognized artists, Ben's arsenal of music will not be forgotten. With powerful performances ranging from Banging Hardtrance to body moving Tech-Trance and the occasional live PA, Ben will never dissapoint the masses. Ben has proven his skills in an unusually short period of time due to the proclaimed "natural skill" that many locals have testified to. Beggining his venture into the world of spinning and producing at the age of 17. Ben is well on his way to redeem his spot as one of many Canadian artists, not to menchion ONE of the youngest producers available. Despite being 19, Ben has already achieved a considerable amount of recognition in the Vancouver scene. In 2003, at the age of 16 he first had a chance to perform infront of a crowd. With that, Ben's energy and music has impressed many. Emerging from the ether and quickly rising to share the stage and play alongside some of the west coast's finest first class talent and headliners, Ben has had the privelege to share the stage with such artists as; Kamui (Druck/Traffic), Paul Maddox, Miss Behavin, Amber D (Tidy), Alphazone (Skywarp), Marcel Woods (Silicon), Cosmic Gate, Dj Diamond (Playboy), Dj Dean (Tunnel) and Dj Fei Fei (Godskitchen). Ben also has travelled through BC and Alberta to expose his music, he has appeared on a variety of musical mediums which include radio show interviews and performances, parites and events ranging from small private gigs in attendance of 100, soaring all the way to parites with 1500 party kids; opening and closing for headliners whom includeinclude Darude, Dj Isaac, The Thrillseekers and Brooklyn Bounce. Getting studio influence from many producers and establised artists having music released under the worlds most established record labels; Nettwerk, Traffic Tunes, Druck Records, J00F Recordings, Solid Records, aswell as production support from some top names in the rock indusrty (Bryan Adams, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith etc.) Ben is surely investing his ideas into a more creative outlet, opposed to the limits that dj'ing has brought him. With the acquired success to date, and seeing his time in the scene pay off, Giovanni has plans to take the scene to another level, opening an independant Canadian based record label for Canadian artists like himself. With much determination, his projects are well in the works (one of them due to be finished spring 2007.)
