Acclaimed Canadian musician #Bensley releases his eagerly awaited sophomore album ‘#Muskoka’ on #RAMRecords, featuring twelve scintillating cuts that demonstrate why he is one of the most original and exciting talents in Drum & Bass.
With ‘#Muskoka’, #Bensley takes the listener on an exciting, immersive journey and draws upon his varied musical talents, dropping elements of jazz (as on ‘#HardTimes’ and ‘#OneLastChance – Remix’ which feature #Bensley’s impressive alto-saxophone playing), hip-hop (‘#DoItAgain’ ft. #ArmanniReign), plus #breaks and #jungle (‘#Muskoka’ which incorporates clever samples to evoke sounds of animals and birdlife). This creates an unforgettable album which is as vibrant and awe-inspiring as the landscape and nature of the part of Canada which has inspired its namesake, #Muskoka.
On ‘#Muskoka’ #Bensley says: "‘#Muskoka’ is a body of work comprised primarily of music that I wrote while at my family’s lakeside cottage in #Muskoka, Ontario. This is a place where I’ve spent every summer for as long as I can remember, and that has hugely shaped the person I am today. The breath-taking wildlife, forests and lakes provide an endless source of inspiration and make #Muskoka not only my favourite place to write music, but my favourite place to be.”
#Bensley’s ground-breaking 2015 debut album ‘#NextGeneration’ won him widespread acclaim, including from #ZaneLowe, #MistaJam, #Friction, #ZedsDead and #DJFresh. This debut was followed by celebrated singles ‘#Outsider’, ‘#Tiptoe’, and ‘#Slither’, plus official remixes for the likes of #FluxPavilion, #Azari & #III, and #Camo & #Krooked.
