May 18th, 2010 will be the day I believe Ben Samples will begin his Legendary status. Samples is one half (Fisk the other half) of the live remix project Fresh2Death/Girlfriend Bullshit that is based out of Boulder, CO.

Samples is on top of the game and is ready to explode. He is a prolific crunk glitch-hop producer. He brings it hard with his bass-heavy remixes of your favorite club anthems. Ben started his DJ career in 2006 when he picked up a weekly variety radio show for CU Boulder’s KVCU.  He played many styles and genres, with a focus on dance music and hip hop. At the end of the day if anyone ask me what is glitch-hop or what does glitch-hop sounds like I point them in the direction of Mr.Ben Samples.

Samples is a member of the Denver Bass Squad, which is the essential crew that runs the bass scene in the Denver/Boulder area. It is worth mentioning that DBS will be a crew you will all know about soon… Spectre, Fisk, and Samples have been on a rampage releasing serious bombs! Don’t be surprised when you see the top selling tracks on there all from DBS members on the Additech charts.

Pick up the new EP put out by Mochipet’s label Daly City! It’s on pre-release here & check out Samples mini-mix of the EP!

Greg Fisk, one of the DONs of Boulder, CO!

This man is beyond Fresh 2 Death! Hearing this mix gets me fired up and glad to be part of this community with so much dope stuff poppin off and glad to see at the talent is blowing up! Can’t imagine how crazy it’ll get if I do end up moving out to Boulder. Big up to the whole Denver Bass Squadron!

Reuben Garst is S.P.E.C.T.R.E! This man is a hidden superstar. I had the pleasure of getting to book him for my first event ever at WMC this year. This guy is the real deal people. A member of Denver Bass Squadron (DBS) & Founder of Basslab. This man does it all from production, DJ, promoter, and one BMF.

This release is straight heat!
I’ve been waiting for this to come out for awhile. Ever since I heard VIP Bass ft. Ben Samples appear on Soundcloud I knew that Spectre had to be part of the event I was planning.

He absolutely tore it up at Slippery! I’ll never forget that mash up of Joker vs Biggie he dropped that night. Not only is this man a dope DJ and producer he’s a great human being. He spit some serious knowledge and tips on everything. Without a doubt I’m glad I had the chance to meet him and become friendly with him.

Best of luck to him, he definitely bust his ass for the community!
Be sure to pick up the release over at Addictech!
