Brussels-based DJ, promoter and label boss Ben Kamal has carved out a sound that’s both precise and personal, minimal and melancholic. As a resident of Lola Haro’s event series Small Steps, and through his work as a former curator at bis.club, he’s been steadily shaping a mood and a narrative, a space further defined by the first release on his label ov guidance in September 2025. As one listener described it, listening to Ben feels like watching dusk fold into night in slow motion. The arc is patient, but the details are razor-sharp: fluttering hats, muted basslines, strange shadows between the kick and the silence. There’s movement, but it’s not linear. It loops, it lingers, it pulls you inward. It’s not about big moments, it’s about micro-decisions that add up to something more enduring. Perfect for the other side.
