History

Bentley Rhythm Ace are a British electronic act formed in Birmingham in 1995 by Richard March, previously of Pop Will Eat Itself, and Mike Stokes, previously of Bugweed Centipede. The pair bonded over a shared taste for obscure novelty and lounge records dug up at car boot sales, a habit that became the backbone of their sound: energetic, sample-heavy big beat mixed with funk, hip-hop, jazz, and exotica oddities, delivered with a cheeky, irreverent sense of humour. Signed to Skint Records, the label at the centre of the mid-1990s big beat scene alongside acts like Fatboy Slim, they released their self-titled debut album in 1997, which produced the fan-favourite single "Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out." A second album, "For Your Ears Only," followed on Parlophone in 2000 and reached number 48 on the UK Albums Chart. Live performances featured drummers Keith York and Fuzz Townshend, both former Pop Will Eat Itself bandmates of March. The duo went quiet after 2000 aside from occasional DJ sets, then reunited in 2016 for live shows and festival dates, including supporting the Wonder Stuff.
