Bosch Stacey

Brothers Jid and Ben Ives are collectively known as live electronic duo, Bosch Stacey. Since their inception, they have impressed listeners with their unique blend of bass driven pandemonium and dance floor beats to earn themselves a loyal fan base. Drawing upon a diverse range of influences, but primarily focusing on those of the electro, breakbeat and old skool genres, they have crafted their own inimitable sound and style. Back in the early Nineties Ben and Jid spent most of their musical youth playing guitar and bass respectively in various experimental/cover bands. This continued for sometime, and although the experience was invaluable, the brothers became increasingly frustrated with the lack of commitment and ambition shown by fellow local musicians. This, plus their growing thirst for electronic music coupled with the explosion of the UK breakbeat scene prompted them to ditch their guitars for synths and samplers. The brothers relish performing live on stage and are constantly honing their performances to captivate audiences both aurally and visually. Their live sound is very much about phat bass, dark riffs & dirty breaks, with plenty of blips, glitches & vocal hooks thrown in, using a variety of Grooveboxes, monosynths and various FX units to deliver their sound in a relentlessly loud and uncompromising fashion. Their passion for music and what they do is abundant and makes for a really alluring presence on stage. Bosch Stacey.....Serve Loud Read more on Last.fm.
