Mixes

Duik in de sonische wereld van Bastiaan Benjamin. De producer uit Deventer had net voor corona zijn debuut album: “two truths”gereleased, waar we inmiddels groot fan van zijn! Wat we niet wisten is dat hij ook een hele sicke dj DJ is. Deze fenomenale mix bevat tracks van o.a Cassius Select, Objekt, Karima F, Blawan, Lurka, Piezo en natuurlijk de man Bastiaan Benjamin hem zelf. Dus een debuut op onze beruchte invites avonden zal natuurlijk niet lang meer duren!

Nachtparlement Podcast 015 - Bastian Benjamin

PICK & MIX is a series of Esc.rec. catalogue deep dives by DJ. This is the first result, carefully selected and constructed by Bastian Benjamin.

Label owner Harco Rutgers: "The downside of having a large label catalogue is that older releases tend to disappear from the public eye. A shame really, because there is so much excellent stuff hidden away in there. That's why I decided to ask several DJ's who are more or less familiar with the label to dig deep and make a mix of their favourite Esc.rec. tracks. Their fresh pairs of ears will no doubt have you listening and (re-)discovering tracks that are buried deep in the catalogue, but haven't lost their shine. In this particular mix Bastian Benjamin manages to uncover both recently released tracks and tracks that are nearly as old as he is. He effortlessly hops through the entire labelcatalogue. Quite a feat."

Bastian Benjamin released his debut album 'Two Truths' at the end of 2020 and has a new album coming up shortly. This young producer/DJ excels in a cinematic yet hard-hitting, bass-driven sound. His DJ-sets are a blast of irresistible genre-hopping and switching gears, relentlessly entertaining dancefloors with a perfectly executed balancing act between spacing and raving.

Bastian Benjamin is no stranger to the Esc.rec. catalogue, he is in fact a part of it since 2021: escrec.bandcamp.com/track/transforming-around-us-bastian-benjamin-remix

Bastian Benjamin is a versatile artist hailing from the eastern part of The Netherlands who has an experimental approach to creating and playing music. This is reflected in both his live and DJ sets, which are characterised by eclectic drums, heavy basses, moody pads, and fragile textures. His IDM inspired sets are always filled with unreleased material from his upcoming releases to newly made sketches from a day old.

Bastian Benjamin - RadiÖND (Novembre 2024)

"It was truly an amazing moment for us—playing a live improv set on home turf, surrounded by friends, at the festival we hold closest to our hearts. Taking center stage at the Chapel, we began with nothing but a single pad, letting the music unfold naturally, never knowing what would come next." - A#, 2024

A# live at Draaimolen Festival 2024
