BEN MONO / compost rec/ Munich.
A multi-faceted producer of cut-up sounds and innovative broken beat bringing together Blade-Runner-esque melodies and socially aware lyrics. Ben Mono Aka Paul Beller, aged 29, Munich, Germany. A self-taught drummer, keyboard and bass player. A musical balance aimed at a new stylistic direction, combining vocals with clubby tracks and organic parts with synthetic parts. Balances a production of broken beat, electro-soul and funky, warm vocals. He does not generally differentiate between musicians and DJs instead he sees himself as a union of instrument player, sound engineer and DJ, aiming only to sound original and fresh. “I always looked up to people who sounded new. I really like when people do their own thing, be it rock, hip hop, r’n’b, classic music, techno or
whatever” Ben concentrates on funky leftfield jazz and genre-bending breakbeat. Ben Mono produces solo for Compost.
