BEN HAUKE Club Cute LP
South London producer/musician, Ben Hauke, presents his debut album; a love letter to club culture, 'Club Cute'.
Across an eclectic twelve-track joyride, he brings together a decade's worth of genre-bending music-making and electrifying live sets. From UKG to broken beat, loosey-goosey hip-hop to club bangers - somehow this true SE native manages to make that all feel cohesive.
Suitably, this club would be nothing without its guestlist. Ben name checks a roll call of acclaimed artists and local peers throughout the tracklist, including Goya Gumbani, Katy B, Shy One, Brother Portrait and Jadasea.
Album opener and first single, "Heyyyyy", sets the tone graciously. A broken beat-inspired joint with groove and punch in equal measure. “Heyyyy is a tunnel channeling my subconscious. A jittery meditation; welcoming Club Cute to the universe”, says Ben.
