Formerly part of The Fat Truckers, the Sheffield-born-Brit-electro-clash band who toured with Pulp (wielding light sabres on stage, apparently) and released their album ‘The First Fat Truckers Album Is for Sale’ on Gigolo in 2003 – containing songs about cheap motorbikes, import-export business and multiplex cinemas.
Ben was also part of Gucci Soundsystem, who have released on Bugged Out and DFA and who promoted the now legendary London club-night Druzzis, which bought guests like James Murphy, 2ManyDJs, Erol Alkan, The Rapture and more to a small and sweaty box in East London. This led to Rymer DJing at Fabric, a residency at Weekend in Berlin, Space in Ibiza, Le Baron in Paris, The Arches in Glasgow and lots more…
More recently, Rymer has joined the Disco Bloodbath crew, London’s finest connoisseurs of only the best cosmic, Disco influenced house music. The collective have remixed Franz Ferdinand, Little Boots, Tommie Sparks, Wolfgang and many more.
Rymer has also recently started his own label, Channel 83, with Disco Bloodath cohort Damon Martin, their first releases were the epic 7-minute edit of Fern Kinney’s ‘Love Me Tonight’ and the 13 minute Discobloodbath remix of the aliens.
So far in 2010 Ben has released La Trinciatrice on Arcobaleno records and been made resident at the T Bar.
