Benjamin Stanford isn’t famous enough. As Dub FX, the guy is a bona fide superstar.

YouTube paints the picture while seeing this guy perform changes your perception of what a man can do with a microphone. But he'll get his dues soon enough, as he suggests from his home base at Olinda, on the mountainous outskirts of Melbourne.

“I've just spent some time building my studio which took a lot longer then I thought. The plan was to finish a new album before this tour begins but it doesn't look likely. The songs are there but I just don't have the time to smash them all out, mix, tweak and finalise them.”

Which still says little about just how innovative Stanford is when armed with his musical gear.

“I had a vision of what was to come very early on,” he says. “I could see people getting that crazy look in their eye when I was busking in the rain in all those tiny cities all over Europe.”

Which begs the question, why do people like his music?

“People don't necessarily want to see talent, they want truth. It's me creating art; I don't think too carefully about how I structure my songs but I do try to make my chorus catchy and respect the art of making music.”

Benjamin is headed north this weekend with fellow Melburnian Spoonbill... so what can we expect from his set?

“I will be performing with my fianceé Flower Fairy; it will all be live looping, beatboxing, dirty beats and heavy basslines. It will be rounded off with some soothing melodies and conscious lyrics! There will also be a special jungle and drum & bass set at the end of the show for good measure!”

So stop sitting around and understand why one of Australia's most underrated artists is on the cusp of hitting the big time.

Dub FX with Spoonbill plays the Hi-Fi Sunday May 6.
