Over the past 14 years, Ben Mealhow has obsessed with dance music. Listening to it, searching for it, moving to it, connecting with it, mixing it, sharing it with others…14 years of healthy obsession bred development and progression. Born and raised in Iowa, he discovered the small but thriving underground dance music scene there in 2006. It wasn’t long until he owned his own cdjs, started playing out, and ultimately got involved in throwing shows. In 2010, he was asked to be the curator for the underground dance music showcase for Mission Creek Festival. Mission:Beat is a MUST of the festival, and always has the vibe of a reunion. Even when he moved to Denver in 2012, his involvement with Mission Creek remained. Since moving to Denver, he has become a major player in the underground dance music scene. Most notably, he has been the front man for the past 4 years of a weekend camping music festival known as “Together” which has evolved into something greater than any involved could have ever imagined. “Togetherland” now has a permanent home on a ranch in southern Colorado. Background aside, his sets make it obvious that his journey has been oddly unique. While techno and house remain as his flag ships, his range extends far beyond both genres. Expect progressive, groovy, hypnotic basslines that he is not afraid to compliment with psychedelic flavors and melodies that hit you in the center of your emotions. “I don’t play want they want to hear…I play what they need to hear.”
