I grew up in the small town of Rankin, Ontario, and can always remember being fascinated by music. I began composing on my own while very young, and then formally studied when I was in university.  I studied in Montréal, San Diego, and finally Amsterdam.  Something that's been of great interest to me lately in the last few years is the idea of allusion and reference, and the functions that memories and emotions play in our minds and hearts while we listen to music, and creating a meaningful musical experience while exploring these ideas.  In a strange way, cartoons often supply some sort of raw material for this journey, and I often look to them for inspiration.  I live in Amsterdam where I work as a freelance composer, teacher, and as the floor manager of the Orgelpark, a concert venue dedicated to the organ and it's place in (contemporary) music.

The cinematic and mysterious style of 22 year old producer Bastian Benjamin sends you to a surreal world. A mix of Electronica, Bass, Ambient, and Trip-Hop results in a unique blend that gives you strong feelings of melancholia. The sound draws inspiration from Clark, Forest Swords, Lorn, and Massive Attack.

“Finely balanced electronics with a sense of introspection, it's a drifting composition, one that carries a weight of emotion.” 
- CLASH Magazine

“Bastian Benjamin warns against close-mindedness on dark and dubby production ‘Concrete’” - COMPLEX

“It's experimental, brilliant and scary.” - Trax Magazine

"Utilising an array of found sounds and tribal vocals, Mantra delicately builds as the producer weaves ominous textures before the match-strike slam of the drop." - Plastic Magazine
