From out of the Blues-not-Blues parties of the mid-aughts emerged Ben Long the DJ. Pushing down-tempo electronica along with those classic bleep bloops in PDX, he attracted a reputation for either debuting the next hottest track or throwing down a but-your-kids-are-gonna-love-it future classic. Ben went on to spread the Fusion gospel throughout the country, embedding himself in scenes from coast to coast before finally coming home to the PNW. These days you're most likely to find him in a dimly lit corner, pushing buttons and twisting knobs, melting a room.
