Running his infamous Operate nights together with TMSN in Berlin for the past 10 years, Ben Mono became one of the main representatives of that new wave of UKG artists in Germany.
Highly inspired by the Broken Beat movement in West London in the early 2000s, Ben Mono never stopped developing his own beats and sound-structures ever since.
Driven by the impact and the unique quality of breakbeats and more sophisticaed rhythms his musical research never stopped over the past 2 decades,
during which he kept reinventing himself a few times.
His goal always was to stilistically settle down in that somewhat unidentified terrain between the Berlin scene and that place where most of his personal heroes came from: the UK.
Having his first Drum & bass records coming out in 1998 (Force & Paul „Breakbeat Mutations“) and his first UKG release as Sonic Surfer („Beta Bay“) in 2002 it was time now for a rewind and to make it back to square one.
Running his infamous Operate nights together with TMSN in Berlin for the past 8 years, Ben Mono became one of the main representatives of that new wave of UKG artists in Germany.
