bensnburner - Sammelfieber

A Musical Equivalent to the Late-Night Reddit Rabbit Hole Session

In today's often superficial music landscape, where algorithms seem to know more about our musical preferences than we do ourselves, "Sammelfieber" by bensnburner comes along like an unexpected breath of authenticity - or like a well-placed punch in the face of the current Lofi bubble.

What makes this album special is the origin of many of the sounds used. They are not just samples, but acoustic fingerprints of places and moments that Ben recorded on tours, rehearsals, or in everyday life.

From the impulses of avant-garde pianist Shih-Yang Lee during a joint performance in Taipei, mantra chants on the Pacific coast to unreleased material from the noclip sessions, which took place in a 400sqm large, empty industrial hall, nightly jam sessions in the legendary StudioEinz or sounds of the Free-Jazz Orchestra "F-Orkestra" - this album is like a well-curated mix of beats including privat recordings, voice memos and field recordings - garnished with basslines straight from the heart.

Ben Krahl, the man with more identities than an average NPC in a JRPG, has created something with "Sammelfieber" that feels like finding a treasure chest in an abandoned level. The tracks are a mix of old acquaintances, such as "+886", which served as the basis for the song of the same name from the 2015 album Patternwirtschaft. But also new beats that emerged over the last 2-3 years, but were way too gritty for his Lofi alter egos flamingo zamperoni or Brad Enbata.

“Reverie” is finally out in the world, and we couldn’t be more proud to share this with you. 🖤

Recorded live over four intense days at @hujimaja Studios in Freiburg, this album is a raw, unfiltered dive into everything we love about making music—letting go, taking risks, and creating something real.

Reverie is heavy, dreamy, chaotic, and beautiful all at once. From crushing riffs to cinematic soundscapes, it’s a journey we hope you’ll get lost in!

Stream it now wherever you listen to music (if you use spotify, you can additionally get it on bandcamp or buy a shirt to support us and wash your hands in innocence 😎)

Please let us know what you think—we’d love to hear how it resonates with you.

This one means so much to us. Thank you for being part of the journey. 🙏

The limits of a digital game are best if you do not notice them or if they are narrative in themselves. If you feel well in a defined area, because it already gives you enough riddles and contains mysteries, you do not want to go outside. On the other hand, there is the attraction of the forbidden, the question of what lies behind it. 

In the game DOOM, there is a separate cheat code for exiting the given margin: "noclip". Once activated, I can walk through walls and enemies, and the outer walls of each level are no longer an obstacle. 


Actually, I turn on the mini-map and see that I'm getting more and more out of the existing world into the big nothing, farther and farther away from the familiar spaces, towards an infinite void. DOOM does not crash, but the further I step out of the designed room, the more the presentation becomes a confusing loop: walls, enemies, even my weapon multiply, dissolve in a thick layer of overlays. This is not for all eyes, and yet a feature. 

"Noclip" is for those geeks who are happy to have discovered something that no-one has ever seen before. At least believe it.

this album was recorded in an empty 400 square meter hangar with 30 meters high ceiling just to let the sound breath as much as possible. 

the huge reverb inspired to dig deeper into the world of floating atmospheres and ambient drones. 

the production is packed with solo-driven moods along with synth and pedalboard-spirit, heavy post-rock tracks in a classic band-setup as well as experimental collaborations with different artists, bringing in their own way to get along with this very different recording situation

As a Bass Player, the focus of his work lies on the low frequencies and the little stories between the notes. Listen close to experience carefully chosen samples, laid back drums, blurry keys and deep, organic basslines .
