BIOGRAPHY
As a producer and DJ, Munich-born Ben Mono’s unique framework of sound is always open to new influences and a wide range of directions. He is counted as one of the few musicians today who is a convincing mediator between different music scenes; he was a pioneer in what’s now called “bit hop,” meshing digital aesthetic with B-boy vibes, while also being a guitarist in the band Munk. He plays with indie aesthetics, emphasized for the dancefloor and always keeping you guessing.
Now based in Berlin, Ben is active on various imprints such as Ed Banger, Gomma, Compost, Exploited or Permanent Vacation. He keeps an active tour schedule, but between gigs he continues writing a new album, which will present bit hop in combination with elements of live music and guest vocal appearances from TY (UK), the grand old man Rob Birch of the Stereo MCs, Yo Majesty and Purple Crush.
