MadTech Records are set for another super strong release from Ben Mono ‘Why’, already gaining huge support from the likes of Shadow Child who premiered the track on his weekly Rinse FM show. Backed up with a solid remix from Xandl.

German producer Paul Beller aka Ben Mono has been around for some time and had many of release under labels such as Permanent Vacation, Exploited, Gomma and Ed Banger. Mono now joins the MadTech crew alongside stellar names such as Citizen, Cera Alba, No Artificial Colours and Mia Dora.

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 rounds off the package with his take on ‘Why” – offering up an acid tinged interpretation with squelching bass licks and a bumpy rhythmic swing.
