  • Ben Pearce, who recently pulled out of all upcoming gigs due to mental health issues, will DJ in Vienna this weekend. The UK DJ/producer cancelled all his remaining 2016 gigs in July, citing a "battle with depression" as the reason. Pearce, who was behind popular 2012 house cut "What Might I Do," announced over Facebok today that he's tentatively looking to get back in the DJ arena, beginning with a gig at Pratersauna this Saturday, September 24th. "It's a big step but a small one for now in terms of touring," Pearce wrote. "But I'm feeling good about it." He also revealed that new productions "should be on the way." Read Pearce's full post.
    I just want to say a huge thank you to anyone who commented on my previous post & sent messages. I will try to reply to them but I have read most & they mean an awful lot. I'm back DJ-ing this weekend in Vienna, it's a big step but a small one for now in terms of touring but I'm feeling good about it. Just wanted to let you guys know and say thanks for all the positivity. New music should be on the way soon. 3 months ago I never thought I would even get to where I am now, it's not the end of the road I know but what I've done has made a huge difference. Finally to anyone out there who is struggling: don't be ashamed or afraid get help, talk about it, trust in your friends and family and love yourself, do anything that makes you smile. You can beat it, it will pass & even if it never goes away, sometimes seeing the world from that angle forms who you are as a person and gives you a clarity you might not have had before. Now let's see if I can remember how to beatmatch…
