Known for his sultry vocals for the likes of Rusko, Kraak & Smaak, and Jazzanova as well as SECT's latest venture 'In The Park' - UK-based crooner Ben Westbeech is the multi-talented classically trained vocalist, pianist and cellist who first launched on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood label. Westbeech's love of all forms of music from pop, jazz and soul to electronic music and hip hop led to his stints as a DJ and producer under his own electronic alias Lean. Say hello to him for us at Slowpoke's Easter Sunday Special where he plays live, alongside the likes of Tiger & Woods, Luca C, Bodycode/Portable, and Jay Shepheard for a whopping 13-hour special.
