Breach

Ben Westbeech (born 17 April 1981) is a British multi-instrumentalist, singer, record producer and DJ who records club-focused material under the alias Breach. He works across a wide range of electronic styles but, for drum and bass/jungle listeners, his output most directly connects to liquid funk, jungle-influenced rhythms and drum-and-bass-adjacent remix work. Westbeech originates from Hertfordshire and spent formative musical years in Bristol.

As Breach he scored a mainstream breakthrough with the 2013 single "Jack", released on Dirtybird and Atlantic. "Jack" reached the UK top 10 and brought his club productions to radio and festival playlists. He also releases music under his own name and has worked across house and electronic subgenres, as well as collaborating with other artists in related scenes.

Westbeech is a multi-instrumentalist and singer; those roles shape his production. He frequently places vocals and live instrumentation at the centre of arrangements rather than treating them as afterthoughts. His Breach productions favour clear, DJ-friendly structures — distinct intros and outros, tight groove focus, and polished mixdowns — traits that make individual tracks easy to program into sets across tempos.

In technical terms, his work emphasises defined low-end and separation between kick and bass, concise vocal placement, and careful use of reverb and delay to create space. When his work brushes up against faster tempos or liquid-style arrangements, listeners will hear smooth melodic lines, warm sub-bass and percussion programmed for forward motion rather than raw amen chopping.

Career highlights available in public sources are the Breach alias, the 2013 "Jack" single on Dirtybird/Atlantic and his releases under his own name. Public documentation of detailed drum-and-bass-specific releases or named collaborators beyond those facts is limited; for concrete examples of his approach, listen to "Jack" and his catalog released as Breach and Ben Westbeech.
