Ben Watt

‘s music career spans more than twenty years. As one half of London’s famed Everything but the Girl, Watt has sold millions of records worldwide with partner Tracey Thorn. In the mid-’90s, the act began dabbling in electronica, collaborating with producers such as house don Todd Terry and drum-and-bass wiz J Majik on tracks that proved hugely popular both in the clubs and on the radio. Watt later took the next step and began deejaying sets himself. He has since become one of London’s biggest names. And when he’s not spinning at Neighborhood or Cherry Jam, the trendy clubs he co-owns in that city, Watt (due at Shelter on Saturday, July 29) can be found manning the decks at various spots across the globe.
