Steffen Bennemann
(Styrax, Nachtdigital, Distillery / Germany)
Music is a heart thing and being well aware of this,
Steffen Bennemann is directing his acoustic pinpricks
directly to the point where it hurts: Deep in your soul.
Ranging from subtle to rather direct, emotions are at the
core of Steffen’s music. The trippyness of his sets does
not evolve from the hour-long manipulation of a single
bass drum sound, but from the everlasting up and down
of an inward journey instead, moving body and soul
alike. Tears of pain versus tears of joy and happiness – it
is this narrow zone of transition that Mr. Bennemann
devotes his research to. In doing so, House music
serves his goals as well as Techno or Dub. While many
artists pretending to offer a versatile musical spectrum
fall short of their claims on stage, versatility is the basis
of Mr. Bennemann’s work. Cheerfully winking at the selfappointed
style police, Steffen drops another record,
looking to surprise you once more.
