HOWDY! Name's Benton. But for as long as I can remember, folks have called me Bentone. I've been writing bass music for over 20 years! I consider myself to have been an early adopter of the dubstep and american bass music sounds, having been a proponent of both since the early 2000's. I was very fortunate to spend a good portion of the '10s escapading across the country with my good friend DJ blac as 1/2 of the bass monster BASSthoven, carrying the good word of bass music into new ears and meeting many friends along the way! That's a lot of bass!

Bentone, as a project, is my means to communicate my understanding and vision of modern bass music. An open minded and abstract approach that is amorphous in form, without boundary, maintaining roots in classical and modern theory, while also paying homage to old school electronic music, and moving forward in contemporary technique. There is great beauty in the world, as well as great sadness, grit, and challenge. The music is an attempt to express both, but also act as a representation of the existential conversation between the two, as well as create an atmosphere of great feeling, thought, and action. Hi Ho!

Throughout my tenure as a performer, either solo or as BASSthoven, I've had the pleasure of providing direct support for artists such as Pretty Lights, Diplo, Beats Antique, Dead Prez, Wookiefoot, Figure, 12th Planet, Ooah, Kraddy, Herobust, Vibesquad, Zeds Dead, Eliot Lipp, Ott, Big Gigantic, Minnesota, Protohype, Bil Bless, Ben Samples, Mimosa, Archnemesis, ill.gates, ill-eesha, NastyNasty, Russ Liquid, Kilowatts, That 1 Guy, Signal Path, EOTO, Heavyweight Dub Champion, Ana Sia, Mt Eden, Unlimited Gravity, Project Aspect, Spankalicious, Freddy Todd, and many more, as well as play 100s of festivals, campouts, clubs, and underground funtions all across the country. What a great time it's been!
