Bastian Benjamin Sebastiaan Benjamin van Vuuren Deventer The cinematic and mysterious style of 21 years old producer Bastian Benjamin sends you to a surreal world. A mix of Electronica, Bass, Ambient, and Trip-Hop results in a unique blend that gives you strong feelings of melancholia. The sound draws inspiration from Clark, Forest Swords, Lorn, and Massive Attack. “Finely balanced electronics with a sense of introspection, it's a drifting composition, one that carries a weight of emotion.” - CLASH Magazine “Bastian Benjamin warns against close-mindedness on dark and dubby production ‘Concrete’” - COMPLEX “It's experimental, brilliant and scary.” - Trax Magazine "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." - Plastic Magazine
