- Ben Annand Live at Rebar in Seattle May 23, 2015Many thanks to Michael Manahan for bringing me up to Rebar in Seattle to celebrate his birthday at Starseed Transmissions!Rebar is one of those clubs that feels more like a warehouse - not in the trendy part of town, low on hipsters, high on dance vibe. It was a pretty full house but perfect on the dance floor, just enough space for everyone to get down :)I've really enjoyed coming to Seattle so much the past few years, and look forward to returning to the area for Cascadia Festival the weekend of July 24-26.

- Ben Annand Live in Portland at Believe You Me, April 10, 2015It’s been about a month since I put a set out on Soundcloud, today I am happy to present my set from Believe You Me in Portland, Oregon April 10.Believe You Me is Portland’s hottest new little house party, and this was my second appearance there. With capacity at just 100-150, it attracts a quality crowd which reminds me both of my heyday in Portland playing small underground parties in the early 2000s, as well as my own beloved small party in Los Angeles, Tropical.Musically the party is a chance to explore the deeper sounds of house and tech-house, and I played a few tracks here which I really love but have difficulty working into other sets.Big thanks go out to Andy Warren and Robert Ginkgo for bringing me to Portland and being supportive of my music and other underground house talents.If you are in Portland, living or visiting, be sure and check this event: https://www.facebook.com/believeyoumepdx1 hr 19 min
- Ben Annand - Live at Innovation Pool Party - May 19, 2013 - San Diego - Palomar HotelThis set went down from 2-4 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the Palomar Hotel in San Diego, CA. It is pretty mellow and deep but groovy, as you would expect poolside :)The party had a great lineup including Dave Pezzner from Seattle, and Joeski from who I had last seen about 8 years ago in New York :) Both played great sets and hopefully we see those on Soundcloud soon, they were also recorded :)Many thanks to Cris Herrera and Bert Paluka for bringing me down to San Diego!1 hr 51 min

Biography:
In his zone from deep house to techno, Ben Annand pairs impeccably smooth mixing skills with a dynamic style that keeps the music moving, artfully playing with breakdowns and spending most of his time in the mix.
“For me, a great mix is the interplay of 2 unique pieces of music, creating something greater than the sum of the parts - and a great set weaves those mixes into a musical flow you can’t help but lose yourself in on the dance floor.”
Ben fell in love with dancing and rave culture in 1995, and learned to mix in 1996. Just 2 years later he became resident dj at the famed Moontribe Gathering, and started his own production company, Tropical. The first half of his career was mostly focused on DJing abroad, with 13 trips to Moscow’s Propaganda club, travel across Russia, Spain, and Mexico, an appearance at Wiggle at Fabric in London and two at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan.
In more recent years, Ben Annand became a top West Coast festival DJ, and recently played a standout set at his 5th consecutive Lightning in a Bottle (CA). He has also appeared at Sunset Campout and Desert Hearts (CA), Oregon Eclipse (OR), Photosynthesis and Cascadia (WA), Shambhala and Motion Notion (BC, Canada).
As organizer of Tropical, he's donated over $32,000 to charity, hosted zero-waste events in Hawaii, and presented gender-balanced dj lineups.
Whatever his project,, Ben Annand is always contributing, and always thinking outside the box.
