German producer Paul Beller aka Ben Mono has been releasing material for over a decade now, principally via the Compost Records imprint in the early stages of his career though further notable affiliations fall in the shape of Permanent Vacation, Exploited, Gomma, Ed Banger and Strictly Rhythm. Here we see him push on adding MadTech as yet another driving force alliance, slotting him alongside Citizen, Cera Alba, No Artificial Colours and Mia Dora on the roster.

Title cut ‘Why?’ kicks things off and sees Ben Mono offer up a bass led percussive workout, laying its focus on bubbling drum hits, frenzied synth wobbles and warbling subs, while ‘Rather Kill Me’ tips the focus over to a garage tinged aesthetic with an elongated, grainy bass hook and dark stab sequences sat alongside hooky vocal chops and sporadic synth flourishes.

Russia’s Xandl then round off the package with his take on ‘Why?’ - offering up an acid tinged interpretation with squelching bass licks and a bumpy rhythmic swing.


Ben Mono - Rather Kill Me

MadTech Records was founded in 2012 as an offshoot imprint to Madhouse Records, the long-running record label launched by Kerri Chandler in 1992. Now MadTech is a few years old and having been musically guided by Kerri himself has gone on to form a well-respected reputation with a coterie of emerging talents on the roster.

Garlic Man!

Music wizard. A person who rejects all conventions and tries to do everything in spite of it. Tied by a thick rope with electronic music, which over time more and more pinches the roots into his character.

He takes joy from every low note, and it gets bigger as the sounds go lower and lower. He likes it fatty and strong, so the most correct dialect will be simply BASS.

In 2012, he played at the Audioriver festival in Płock and on the fourth channel. Until 2015, he played in most major Polish cities, as well as in the south of Great Britain (Winchester, Bournemouth). Since 2018, he has been a resident of the Gdańsk Cooltura club. You can hear him there every Sunday and on two selected weekend days of the month. It also has the Twój Dj company on behalf of which it organizes events for companies such as Diverse, GDDiKA, Hilton, etc.
