BEN LYNCH

I'm a 'Screamstep' (a self coined fusion between metal and dubstep) producer with a passion for politics. I believe in the transformative expressive power of music and art. The quest for hope and change are at the epicentre of my practice.

My musical journey began with the "R for Revolution" EP in 2012, since then I have been learning production techniques and styles and my music has evolved substantially. 2013 saw the release of "Perspectives" and the music video for "Working Class Hero". 

 

The Acts of Providence EP was released in summer 2014, pushing my capabilities as a producer and introducing new genres into my music. I also embarked on a 3 month project entitled "The Art of Activism" where I took part in protest, conducted interviews and attended talks.

The main purpose of my music and performances is to raise awareness of the current political climate and corruption within western politics in general. I take great influence from the works of Architects, Enter Shikari, Northlane, NxtGen, Kate Tempest, Russel Brand, Mark McGowan, Owen Jones and many other artists & activists.

The fusion of the two elements, metal and dubstep, allow me to reach a wider audience range. This is crucial for critical engagement, as apathy runs rampant amongst the dominant paradigms of today. Breaking through the divisive barrier of genre is a step towards a true community. One without prejudice and discrimination, focusing on our similarities instead of differences.
