Biography of Boom Monk Ben
The Boom Monk is renowned for selecting the best of underground Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, House, Electronica and the rest, as well as displaying a passion for the older groove through boxes of the heaviest New Orleans Funk to the rawest Kingston Dance Hall and Roots Reggae, taking in the best of Psychedelic Rock, Jazz, Soul, Disco and his favourite dance floor nuggets from through the years.
A prominent figure in Glasgow's close knit clubbing scene, Ben can be found cutting, spinning and fumbling his way through boxes of beats at the city's best clubs, bars and radio stations. Art School, The Arches, Sub Club and The Basement Bar are all smashed to pieces by the Boom Monk on regular occasions with his diverse mix of dance floor bangers, acapella blends and 3 deck mixing.
Playing host to some of Glasgow's favourite club nights and music events, Boom Monk Ben has showcased the best local performers & DJs as well as inviting more exotic friends to come and join him - if only to get his vinyl signed! These include DJ Food & DK, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Spank Rock, Fingathing, Breakestra, Treva Whateva & Boca 45 to name a few. 2006 has seen Ben catch the attention of clubs nationwide and further with guest appearances at Scratch in Gothenburg, Bounce in Derry, Massive Attack's Tube Bar and Leisure at Native in Bristol and Edinburgh's famous Trouble night at Cabaret Voltaire.
A favourite of the Solid Steel, Subcity Radio and Radio Magnetic crews, Ben is often the choice DJ when it comes to these famous radio stations bringing the noise with their sell out events.
Catch The Monk with the Funk with regular shows on Radio Magnetic for all the fresh new beats in his box.
Also every week on Subcity Radio , 5 - 7pm (GMT) for Sunday night spaz fest with music from every style and era alongside Full Phat.

As the write up above says, expect a good mix of tunes in the Monk's set. Sandwiched at the start and end of the mix with a couple of chilled tunes, Max Sedgley and The Cure, he throws in plenty of different styles for the rest mainly in a hip hop vein but finishing with a couple of classic Drum&Bass tunes
Boom Monk Ben always comes up with an interesting mix.
Cheers for this
