I guess I shouldn&#8217;t have been so surprised, Ben had been in the hospital a month or two ago with congestive heart failure.

He&#8217;d heard my trip hop stuff on the old mp3.com and he asked if I wanted to write a vocal part for a 140 beat per minute mix he was working on. He emailed me a work mix [&#8230;]]]></description>
