053 For the Record || Ben James
For the Record is a conversation series where we speak with all manner of music heads — DJs, music journos, indie label captains, record shop owners, listening bar kingpins, et al — about their stories + the music that makes them.

Benjamin James is a contributor at Oscillator and Factory. He’s also the founder of Ziggy Ziggy, a music brand that celebrates on-chain music culture – named after one Ziggy Stardust. He’s also a writer for Billboard and a former artist and producer. He used to run a small record label in the north of the UK, where he joined forces with a brother-sister combo of vocalists and started a group called Mausi. Together they built a career as artists, touring with big names like Charli XCX and Rudimental before succumbing to the suppressive power of a major label.
