In 2006, Ben combined his talents learnt in electronic music production with his deep love for alternative philosophy and all things paranormal to create Mysterious Universe.

With a strong, almost obsessive drive for high quality production and attention to detail, coupled with a dry wit and playful approach to the subject matter, Ben has turned what was once a part time hobby into a full time career.
