2006 saw Ben play at events with artists such as Trance stars DARK BY DESIGN, TOMMY PULSE, UBERDRUCK, DAVE JOY and nationally, NIK FISH.

2007 then saw Ben enter his busiest year yet, as he teamed up with the Salvation Army, The Oak Tree Foundation and multiple show dates including TRANCE international stars: STEVE HILL, ALEX KIDD, DJ DEAN, YAKOOZA, D-JEAN-D and nationally, AMBER SAVAGE and BEXTA. He also appeared live at the 2007 ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW with artists such as TAXIRIDE, MENTAL AS ANYTHING, DARRYL BRATHWAITE and KATE CEBRANO. And as per- expected, his long time involvement with HARD KANDY, helping to push dance boundaries and excite punters with the music and partying experience you’ve come to expect with HARD KANDY events.

In 2008, Australia heard the sound of drums as Ben dished out the dirtiest and freshest tracks of his favorite ground-breaking genre, Electro Trance. As a DJ, Ben also spins; House, Teck House, Electro, Teck Trance, Hard Techno and Hard Trance . Ben has also been busy in the studio with Jim Axiotis remixing and writing their original tracks, soon for release.

EXCERT FROM INTHEMIX REVIEW OF CLASSIC KANDY:
Upon arrival, local Hard Kandy hero Ben Jackson was on the decks pounding out the classics. These included Tim Deluxe’s It Just Won’t Do, Armin Van Buuren’s Shivers, Cosmic Gate’s White Bird, and of course what night of classics could happen without Underworld’s Born Slippy and Delerium’s Silence (though Ben played the Above & Beyond remix). Ben always has an amazing energy about him, interacting with the crowd and really showing everyone he truly loves the music. It’s great to watch! It was a great warm-up for what looked set to be a wicked night. Hopefully there is more of Ben in a bigger timeslot in the future.

SCOTT ALERT INTERVIEW (INTHEMIX) – AUGUST 08 :
As a serious expert on hard dance and trance in Melbourne, tell me who do you think is the next big thing to come out of the city? Who’s the one to watch?

"Well there is a lot of talent coming though. I have my keen eye on Ben Jackson, NFX, Dr.Willis and Harvest Brothers on our side of the wall, all who have new tunes being released shortly."
