Ben Wa

Devil Dub

Black Hole

Electronica’s dynamic duo, Ben Wa, has released their first full-length LP, comprising of dastardly vocal samples accentuated with a classic dub overlay. To help realize this devilish delight, Butthouse and Dr. Ware (Ben Wa) have cornered Buckethead, Brain, DJ Disk, and Adrian Isabell to conspire to create strikingly dark Beelzebub dub. The theme remains the same throughout Devil Dub, methodically lumbering dub highlighted with demented loops and delicious reverb. In the future, Ben Wa promises projects that create new experiences for listeners and reviewers alike. If everything holds true, then Ben Wa will have grown massive balls! Black Hole Records, 1145 65th St., Suite L, Oakland, CA 94608
