Ben Fester is a Sydney DJ who has been running the notorious Heavenly parties for over six years now and humbly maintaining the Sydney underground. He’s toured acts like Sotofett, Project Pablo & DJ Fett Burger in a city that sometimes doesn’t make it easy.. The range of guys he’s warmed for speaks for itself; Omar S, Sex Tags crew, Marcellus Pittman, Ben UFO, Kyle Hall, Madteo, Move D and many many more.
He’s a staple of the AUS festival scene, being welcomed at festivals like Inner Varnika, Subsonic, Strawberry Fields and was recently given the honour of closing the Hopkins Creek festival in 2020.
His highly anticipated debut EP ‘Lock Box’ is out now via esteemed Melbourne label ‘Paper Cuts’ and has garnered huge support from around the globe.
In addition, Ben’s held a residency on Sydney’s community radio – FBi – for three years and also filled the Boiler Room lens a couple of times. Whilst holding down the fort at “The Record Store” in Sydney he’s been exposed to a wealth of music ranging all kinds of styles and moods, which is apparent in his sets. Don’t expect the standard, embrace the whacky.
