LA beatsmith William Benjamin Bensussen, better known as The Gaslamp Killer , has added a Sydney date to his upcoming Australian tour.
Bensussen is one of the most eccentric artists to come out of the West Coast's beat scene, having spent several years aligned with the famed Brainfeeder and Low End Theory collectives. As a DJ, he's one of the most diverse members of either clique, and is just as likely to spin Gucci Mane and Flying Lotus as he is '80s rock ballads whenever he steps into the booth. Though he's touring for the Stereosonic festival later this year, he's is no stranger to Australian clubs—he's touched down in the country several times before, most notably for several sold-out Void gigs in Sydney.
This time around, it'll be the Oxford Art Factory that plays host to Bensussen's eclectic taste. It's all set to take place on December 2nd, with main support duties handled by Space Is The Place boss Prize.
