The Rogue Element is award-winning producer and DJ Ben Medcalf, originally hailing from Portsmouth on the south coast of England. After spending his formative years honing his skills on the drums, guitar and piano, Ben fell in love with electronic music upon first hearing The Chemical Brother’s ‘Dig Your Own Hole’ in 1997 and has never looked back. He moved to London in 2000 and began learning the art of dance music production.

After consolidating his initial success with his scintillating debut album ‘Rogue Rock’ in 2005, The Rogue Element soon completed his rapid ascent from newcomer to major player in the breakbeat scene by winning ‘Best Breakthrough Producer’ and claiming the titles for ‘Best Producer’ and ‘Best Remix’ in 2006. His 12" releases and remixes have all received widespread acclaim from the breakbeat community and also enjoyed notable support from Radio 1 and Xfm.

Nakon genijalne onomatopejske przilice mozga, Hive-a, Rogue Element nas razvaljuje drugim albumom. Lumina! (Hive included ) Mene osobno neke stvari i nisu zaintrigirale tolko kolko citam po recenzijama dok za vecinu (Lumina, Sidewinder, Reality Is Overrated, Escalation, Soretooth, a pogotovo netipicnu Mistakes) mogu samo skinut kapu, duboko se poklonit i rec da Rogue Element jebeno own-a!! Mislim da je univerzalnost ono sto ga cini velikim.

meni je prvi album bio dosta dobar, i nakrcan hitovima od kojih sam ih nekoliko puno puta vrtio (pogotovo ove koje je radio sa tom real-om). da ne pričam da je vrhunski remikser (od santosa - i've made progress do stanton warriorsa - hope time )...ali onda mi je malo previše otišao u elektro-haus vode pa sam ga prestao pratit...ali respekt zaslužuje...svojevremeno je pistolero bio nezamisliv bez originalne high noon sa semplom iz pulp fictiona...valjda sam je vrtio godinu dana svaki put...

Da stvarno, ovo je fakat puno haus elemenata. Al eto, iako nisam neki fan te mjuze dopada mi se jer je nesto drukcije i ima prepoznatljivi jaki rougelementovski stih. I valja, kako god okrenes.
