NTS X DIESEL TRACKS SA PRESENTS BEN MALL
Cape Town, South Africa. Ben Mall is a multi-medium creative and sonic selector, born and raised in Woodstock, Cape Town. Inspired by South Africa’s contemporary youth culture and the vibrant urban cacophony of the city, he sees his passion and artistry as a product of Cape Town. After exploring different sounds and falling in love with electronic music during high school, he started DJ’ing in 2022 and has been obsessed ever since.
He chooses to blend music styles from home such as Gqom and Yaadt with other exciting global sounds like Jersey/Baltimore, Club, Hard House, Tribal, Vogue/Ballroom, Baile, Deconstructed Club, Juke and Techno.
Ben loves strong, punchy songs with rich melodies and fresh, bouncing beats that put an exciting spin on modern dance music. In a time where many people take themselves too seriously, he aims to shake things up a bit and make the club scene fun again. He’s not afraid to deliver some drama and theatrics when it comes to playing his sets, believing that people have more fun when they see the DJ having fun. He wants the crowd to feel like he is ‘playing with them rather than for them’.
His love for music and sound has inspired other creative outlets. He’s also a photographer and videographer specialising in fashion with a narrative edge, and has had work featured in various publications. Ben is currently studying Film & Media at the University of Cape Town.
