Ben Matrix
Ben Matrix began his DJing career in 1995, and played out for the first time just one year later. He became a DJ because he "always loved underground music," and he says, "it was the progression of music that brought me to where I'm at with music today, plus I'm a big fan of technology and the constantly changing music it gives us." His aggressive drum & bass style has earned him a lot of recognition, including residencies at Zythos in Pittsburgh and The Haven in Orlando, as well as affiliations with Downlow Communications and Jungala Records.
Pittsburgh, Erie, Buffalo, Columbus, Baltimore, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, and Indianapolis are just some of the many cities Ben has played in. Some of his more memorable experiences as a DJ include "the friends [he's] met in different cities all over the country and the comfort of knowing that if you want something bad enough, you can get it." His favorite experience was "opening for Electric Skychurch last summer with DJ Circle K and MC Collaborator in front of 2800 people."

Renegade Hardware, Machine Code, Cylon Records, Under Fire Records, and Biotic Records top Ben's favorite labels list. You can hear his sound on one of his many mixtapes or CDs, some of which have been reviewed in Urb and Mixer magazines.

Ben's goal in the future as far as music is concerned is "to keep moving forward." He has accomplished many things as both a DJ and promoter, and it is clear he isn't going to stop anytime soon. He says, "I want to let people hear the newest tunes... it is something that I love to do. I feel that if you keep up with new music you'll never grow old. It's all about the music."  Catch this fine selector running  Infrastructure ,  a miami drum n bass staple. Ben 'matrix' is  a hot stepper.

  From Wu-Tang Clan to Gravediggaz, Brotha Lynch Hung to Insane Clown Posse, and Korn to Slipknot; all the ingredients for a hardcore Drum and Bass DJ called Sicc:16. “It was all about that feeling when I walked into the Jungle Room and was surrounded by the vibe.” That is when he realized Drum and Bass must be a part of his everyday life.

 Sicc:16, aka Will Caban, is originally from Youngstown, Ohio. With Cleveland to the west and Pittsburgh to the east, Drum and Bass began to close in on him. The time was January of 2000 when the mystical influence of Drum and Bass converted him into a vinyl junkie.

 After several mixtapes and one mix CD, “Guilty Pleasure”, the respect finally came when Sicc:16 released, “Sicc:ession”. Distributed between the Pittsburgh and Cleveland areas, people began to respond. Invitations to play at art museums, bars, clubs and raves were the results. “Getting the people to listen was the hardest barrier to break. And once they did, I couldn’t ask for a more positive reply.” Moments like those are what encouraged his pursuit as a Drum and Bass DJ.

 Over time, Sicc:16, along with a few others, created a new found respect among the Drum and Bass scene. With residencies at several small venues, he helped change a predominantly House music area into a Drum and Bass community.

 In June 2003, Sicc:16 moved to St. Petersburg, FL to utilize his degree in Graphic Design. With school out of the way, Drum and Bass soon became a top priority. But there was one obstacle….getting the people to listen again!

 Mixed CDs such as “Kinetic Mind” and “Call It What U Want” were heavily circulated throughout Florida. “The music did not just bring respect, but it allowed people to understand my vision of Drum and Bass.”

 Persistent motivation and an aggressive outlook, along with respect for all, are his key personality traits. As a DJ pushing the sound, his intensity, invention, and innovation, make him top notch.

 “Drum and Bass was never a dream. You dream when you sleep. It was when I was awake that I thought about Drum and Bass. Therefore, to me, it became a passion.”­­--­­­­Sicc:16
