Boom Monk Ben & Fukkk Offf
Fukkk Offf:
Fukkk Offf has been renowned for some time in his hometown for storming live sets in the clubs scattered around Hamburg’s red light district. “Die sündige Meile” or “the sinful mile” as it is known has seen its walls shaked and thighs quaked by the throbbing depths of the big room Fukkk Offf Sound.
Many a night you would witness the frustration on the faces of lonely old men as they realized that the brothels were empty. All the girls would no doubt be down at the club shaking their money makers to the sounds of our young hero. These same streets are where the Beatles made their way in the early 60s. John Lennon was once quoted as saying “I might have been born in Liverpool, but I grew up in Hamburg”.
The word of this new sound travelled to New York City where in late 2007 Fukkk Offf was scooped up by Coco Machete Records (New York). After releasing two hit singles ‘I’m A Freak’ & ‘Rave Is King’ as well as a slew of remixes for the label Fukkk Offf released his debut album ‘Love Me, Hate Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me’ in the summer of 2009 to ‘Rave’ reviews. Our hearts go out to the girls of the ‘Sinful Mile’ as these days it’s a rare weekend for Fukkk Offf to be at home.
One of the most revered and prolific electronic dance artists in THE WORLD, Fukkk Offf is set to tear out our organs on the dancefloor!

A frenzied fanatic of all things bass, the Boom Monk leaves no stone unturned and no sound unheard in his quest for dancefloor devastation. From hip hop, dancehall, funk and break beats to house, funky, electro, dubstep and drum and bass, as long as it makes him, us and you move on the floor then it will get put the through the blender in his inimitable style.
The mighty Ninja Tune have been impressed enough to approach Ben to provide a series of ‘Boom Monk Zen’ mixes for their world famous Solid Steel radio show, which is broadcast in 30 countries world wide. They were suitably impressed with the results and as part of Ninja Tune’s 20th Anniversary the label and their Solid Steel DJ crew approached Ben to join their official ranks alongside Coldcut, DJ Food, DK, Kentaro, Hexstatic and other new recruits Cheeba and DJ Moneyshot.
