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!

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!

Greg Fisk, is clearly a force to be reckoned with. You may know him by being 1/2 of Fresh2Death aka Girlfriend Bullshit. He resides right now in Colorado the mecca for Glitch Hop. He put out an EP earlier in 2009 and is back for some more with this new mix, Puzzle Pieces.

I had the pleasure of getting to know him and jam out with him quite a bit during WMC this year. This guy has to be one of the realest and straight up guys I’ve met so far in this endeavor of music.  Don’t sleep on this guy because I promise you Ben Samples and Greg Fisk are on the way to the top of the game and their duo will always be remembered when you speak of glitch hop.

Check out this free mix on Fisk’s bandcamp!
Also look out for Samples new EP, Snowstorm, to drop some serious bombs!
