Dutch producer Bastian Benjamin grabs your attention with his music and won’t let go, with his cinematic and mysterious sound sending you to a surreal world. Using a mix of raw Electronica and dark Trip-Hop, the artist spins deeply atmospheric and otherworldly sonic blends, while his live performances take many shapes from collaborations with dancers to vocalists.
His latest work is the aptly titled track Mantra, where we experience his minimal downtempo sound which subtly nods to glitch and IDM influences. Utilising an array of found sounds and tribal vocals, Mantra delicately builds as the producer weaves ominous textures before the match-strike slam of the drop. Accompanying the track is Benjamin’s self-directed music video, featuring perfectly choreographed dancers to reflect the unnerving nature sound.
