Ben Mono is an artist whose diversity has always commanded its own stylistic path.
As a producer and DJ his unique framework of sound is always open to new influences and a wide range of directions. He is counted as one of the few musicians today who is a convincing mediator being constantly in a transition between styles. Based in Berlin now, the artist who is originally from Munich, is active on various platforms such as Ed Banger, Gomma, Compost, Exploited, Permanent Vacation and Top Billin. All the while Ben Mono loves understatement, he simply does not want to hide behind a bunch of project names.
Furthermore his musical vision is strong enough to influence in various very different scenes. Already three years ago, he was a pioneer in mixing digital sound aesthetics with B-Boy vibes. Bit Hop was born. In the meantime Mono has moved on to new projects. Be it as a guitar player with the band Munk, producing bands in Berlin or creating highly acclaimed mainfloor tunes with Rob Birch of the Stereo MCs and Yo Majesty, he always pushes the boundaries. In December 2012 he collaborated with Lars Moston to create a superb and eclectic collection of tracks for the duo’s “Woodpecker EP”, released on Barcelona’s Tracy Recordings. Excellent, timeless house music duties were emerged, confirming the state of grace of the german production couple. Permanently oscillating around the globe, his recent DJ shows were taking him to Middle- and South America, Siberia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Southeast Asia aswell as Australia while still maintaining a residency in Sicily and Poland and being a regular player in Berlin. On the 22nd of March he will even play Le Bain in New York City all together with the Boys Noize Records crew celebrating the 4th edition of the Boys Noize Records’ annual Miami Noize. His track “Whut”, a cooperation with Strip Steve (Boysnoize Rec), will be featured as well on the compilation and the electro elements are even getting stronger in his work. Street cred remains always with one eye on the Disco-movement just as he has shown with his mix for the Berlin-based streetwear brand Ucon Acrobatics. So get ready for even more Ben Mono!
