Bene Shanks is a multi-talented instrumentalist who has weaved both acoustic and electronic threads through the fabric of Aotearoa's diverse musical scene since his teenage years.

Making sound waves for the likes of Che Fu and The Rooftop Collective hasn’t stopped him developing an ability to weave magic carpets out of electronic materials.
His experience floating between the hemispheres of band mentality and solo masher-upperer has led him beyond remixing top 40 hits into songs he thought he wanted to hear at festivals, to actually playing festivals.

You can expect Bene's tour bus through sound-space to be genre-bending, but thankfully physics has explained this through the theory of quantum superposition.
