Track I made for a sample flip challenge with producers from Nijmegen.

Planet R [Sample Flip Challenge]

Euphoric melodies, compelling basslines and emotive breakdowns. That’s what you can expect from DJ and producer Bryce Benda. Music-wise, he grew up in the legendary club Doornroosje in his hometown Nijmegen, where he fell in love with electronic music. When seeing international DJs like Laurent Garnier, Jeff Mills and Aril Brikha, and local heroes such as DJ Pure and Jan Liefhebber, he became inspired to start DJing himself. In the past decade, he sculpted and perfected his signature storytelling style: melodic, euphoric, and uplifting. In addition to melodic techno and indie dance, he also likes to play sets with 90s-style piano house with rave influences.

Bryce Benda played at clubs and festivals in the Netherlands and abroad, such as De Bruiloft, IJland, Oosterbar, Recycle Lounge Gallery Club, Club Freya and AAN! Festival. Currently, he hosts a monthly radio show at Birdcage Radio and he is a resident DJ at De Clubmates.

Early 2023, he released his debut track Annihilate Night on his own imprint Restorative Recordings. With its thunderous bassline and mesmerizing arpeggiated synths, the track is as uplifting as it is hypnotizing.
