Party Ben is a DJ, producer, curator and radio host currently based in Los Angeles, best known for his mashups, remixes, radio shows and eclectic live sets. He started his music career in the San Francisco Bay Area, stumbling upon viral remix and mashup hits starting in 2001 with a rework of Eminem's "Without Me." A 2004 Green Day/Oasis combo called "Boulevard of Broken Songs" received airplay around the world. He was named a Top 10 "High Note" of the 2000s in Bay Area music by the San Francisco Chronicle, and two of his mashups (including a Snow Patrol/Police blend) were featured in the Razzie-nominated Adam Sandler comedy "Just Go With It." He's credited with helping jump-start the mashup phenomenon in the United States with the "Sixx Mixx" program, running from 2002-2006 on Bay Area alternative station LIVE 105. He has produced notable remix work as well, with a DJ Shadow remix called "perfect" by Mr. Shadow himself, and a remix of Lyrics Born appearing in the movie "Sisters." His DJ career has taken him around the world, and he was the original resident DJ at long-running mashup nightclub Bootie. Since 2011 he has moved into a music curation career, first at Slacker Radio (now LiveXLive), then Pandora, and is currently the senior dance & electronic music programmer for Amazon Music.
