Born as Ben Waples and based in Sydney, this Australian recording artist was exposed to music from a young age as his dad was an Italian Disco accordionist and taught him to play accordion and electric bass. He started his career playing bass in jazz bands. Since going solo, he’s devised his own take on neon, synth-based 80s music. He plays all instruments, bar the horns, himself. Inspired by Jan Hammer, Prince and Lou Reed, he released his debut album “Don’t Hold Back” in 2011.
Although written as a breakup song, this track is wrapped in dynamically upbeat vibes. Taken from his recently released album “Infinite Desires”, the sparkling melody is infused with retro funkalicious flavours. Starting with a shimmering synth, the tune leads to a scintillating brew of a virulent funky rhythm and glittering keys. Forging an 80s feast, with elements of synth-pop, disco and funk, and his silky smooth vocals, this bouncy groove is an infectious vintage trip.
