Pretty excited to have Ben Fox back at the Royal! $2 Before 11pm ⎮ $5 after 11pm Ben Fox is a purveyor of deep, infectious dance floor grooves. As an active member of his local community in mountainous Nelson BC, he is no stranger to the peaks and valleys of a small town with a big music scene. His journey as a producer, turntablist, DJ, and MC began in 2002, but his love for music started many beats before that. His deep connection with hip-hop and dance music has born a mixed spectrum sound that will transport your mind, body and soul to a sonic paradise - a world of pure primal rhythmic indulgence. Ben avoids being chained to any single music chapter and this nourishes a shape-shifting book of creativity. Current productions include conscious Hip Hop, House, mid-tempo Bass Music and DnB interweaved with intricate synth work, brooding bass lines, vivid backdrops and a tasteful dose of vocal hook. Ben has been prolific on stage and in the studio, landing two tracks on the Hypeddit top 20 and an impressive #1 on the Beatport top 100 for Glitch Hop to close 2017. His pedigree includes performing at Shambalaha Music Festival and he has opened for some of the biggest names in the industry such as Method Man, Flux Pavilion and Mix Master Mike to name a few. When experiencing Ben Fox, expect fully loaded sets that pull on everything from relic psychedelics to pioneering spacetime-shifting vibrations. Strap on a Foxtail, hang on to the walls or each other, while The Fox huffs and puffs and blows the house down.

Having begun his path in 2001, Freddy J has been on a focused mission of constant development, molding his unique style to deliver dancefloor mayhem wherever he performs. He unfailingly brings you some of the best bassline driven party funk every time he plays, which can be described as a mixture of electro, funky, dirty, whompy, groovy, bassy, crunky, and a flat out good time. His mixes are guaranteed to bring anyone to their feet and you can count on it that he'll set the tone for a good time, every time. Recent years have seem him cementing his status as one of Canada's "must see" dj's all over Canada at numerous events including the Fractal Forest at Shambhala, 5 times now. Also playing at Motion Notion numerous times and the notorious Burning Man Festival, to name a few. The only way to explain the vibe to your friends is to tell them that Freddy J will get them shaking their asses all night long. What more can be said about this one-of-a-kind DJ, other than that his stylish blend of music is like none other, and can only be witnessed by being part of the crowds he rocks each and every time he plays... This is one DJ you won't want to miss.
