Dubspot sat down with the influential taste-makers Ben UFO and Oneman for an interview ahead of their celebrated DJ sets at the recent TURRBOTAX® party in Brooklyn. Through hosting shows on the renowned Rinse FM radio station, running well respected labels, and paying close attention to the artform of DJing, the two have found themselves at the forefront of British dance music. Ben UFO co-founded and manages Hessle Audio alongside Pangaea and Pearson Sound, and Oneman recently started 502 Recordings. Both labels deliver an array of sounds from established artists as well as those on the come up. Although the two are ambivalent about the term UK bass music, they’ve done a lot to steer the direction of music that falls within that category. Tracks released on Hessle are immediately embraced by fans all across the world, and support for a song by Oneman is a widely sought after mark of approval. Neither produce and instead focus their energies on DJing, bringing to the table top shelf mixing abilities and an eclectic interest in music that defies genre boundaries, as evidenced by their sets here in New York. Below, they discuss how they pick out tunes, the importance of sound quality, the role of the DJ, pirate radio, and the impact of technology.
