Ben Butler and Mousepad is twenty five year old Joe Howe. Currently based in Berlin,  he produces scatterbrained, frenetic music under a bunch of increasingly stupid aliases, including Gay against You and Germlin. When not devoting his time to thinking up this junk, Joe is also a keen producer and remixer.  He's been involved with his band project, Gay Against You, as well as producing an album for Momus and a slew of remixes for artists as varied as Klaxons, Deerhoof and Shitdisco.
