**ALBUM RELEASED THIS WEEK**

Without a doubt, BK is THE leader of the hard dance scene and this weeks sees the release of his hotly anticipated second artist album ‘Under The Influence’ on Riot Recordings.   Over the last ten years his no one producer has made such an impact in the pumping late night world of hard dance with his anthems like ‘Revolution’, ‘Music Is Moving’ and ‘Playing With Knives’ all enjoying support on national radio and on the main stage. His 100-plus 12” releases have provided the soundtrack to some 500-plus lost weekends for hundreds of thousands of clubbers worldwide!

‘Under The Influence’ is a double album with CD 1 focusing on original productions. With 12 brand new tracks which see Ben ‘BK’ Keen join forces with hard dance heroes; Judge Jules, Lisa Lashes, Nick Sentience, Vinylgroover, DJ Kutski alongside future techno star and Carl Cox favourite Ali Wilson and cutting edge electro producers Fake Hero and Black Russian, not to mention his own cutting edge original productions to create a journey through tough house, breaks, techno, trance and hard dance .

For those lovers of his classics, CD 2 was recorded at the 50,000 capacity Global Gathering festival in August 2006. Performed live using computers, FX, keyboards and including exclusive live reworks of classic BK anthems from 1998 – present day in front of 7,000 screaming fans in the Polysexual Arena of this massive event it features 14 of the biggest selling tracks ever in hard dance all hand-picked from his very own catalogue of over 100 12" releases and remixed live during the show to provide a rollercoaster of spine-tingling big room tunes amplified by the cries of the MC to make some noise - can you hear yourself scream!?

BK ‘Under The Influence’ is a double album that covers the entire spectrum of influences from the arguably the most influential music maker of anthems for those under the influence!
