their own biography
the whole biography
Berlin based Dj/producer operating for more than a decade in sound chemistry. The core element is dub, but the diversions are manifesting through 70 - 170 BPM ranged music, mainly centered on sub-bass, amenized breaks and turntablism elements. Also focused in organizing off the radar events and attempting to unite local artists and supporters in the city´s remaining gaps and wastelands.Recently at Drugstore im Rockhaus, Schwarze Heidi, Der Kegel · often with Migz, Hovercat, Agem, none of them here that night
“Highly inspired by the Broken Beat movement in West London in the early 2000s, Ben Mono never stopped developing his own beats and sound-structures ever since.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Highly inspired by the Broken Beat movement in West London in the early 2000s, Ben Mono never stopped developing his own beats and sound-structures ever since. Driven by the impact and the unique quality of breakbeats and more sophisticaed rhythms his musical research never stopped over the past 2 decades, during which he kept reinventing himself a few times. His goal always was to stilistically settle down in that somewhat unidentified terrain between the Berlin scene and that place where most of his personal heroes came from: the UK. Having his first Drum & bass records coming out in 1998 (Force & Paul „Breakbeat Mutations“) and his first UKG release as Sonic Surfer („Beta Bay“) in 2002 it was time now for a rewind and to make it back to square one. Running his infamous Operate nights together with TMSN in Berlin for the past 8 years, Ben Mono became one of the main representatives of that new wave of UKG artists in Germany. Watch out for his tune on Groove Chronicle's DPR imprint!Their RA profile lists Defected Records, Compost Records, Ed Banger Records, Stil vor Talent and 6 more.Recently at Ritter Butzke, Paloma · often with AUS (The Blend), Clot, ︱(Stuttgart), none of them here that night
