Downtempo from Bastian Benjamin

After releasing his album Two Truths and composing music for theatre and dance, the Dutch IDM producer Bastian Benjamin is back with new music. His evocative track “Ark” is out now, and it sounds like a dark and enigmatic trip in another realm or, more specifically, in a dreamy natural landscape.

Indeed, the artist frequently finds inspiration from walking through the woods of Deventer, where he is based. Other strong influences include many different artists, such as Lorn, Forest Swords, Skee Mask and DjRUM.

Despite his bass-heavy production, Bastian Benjamin’s music has been compared to classical and richly texturised cinematic music, which is both intriguing and relaxing.

Listen to “Ark” below.
