Release Note:
Benjamin Damage is back on ARTSCORE with a stunningly crafted record that explores the deepest parts of his mind.

We strongly believe that an Artist should have the freedom to express many phases of his thoughts, and doing it with the power of Techno is one of our main goals to inspire you. Benjamin is clearly on top of his game, and we are proud to deliver something very powerful here, done in one of the most elegant ways. More

R&S welcome back highly-revered techno artist Benjamin Damage with his new double headed single ‘Malfunction / Binary'. ‘Montreal’ from his debut R&S EP proved to be one of the label's biggest techno releases of the last few years - the pummelling drums, intense atmosphere and beatuiful melodies are synonymous with the music that has made the label timeless. Road tested in Benjamin’s heavy artillery live shows across the globe, Malfunction / Binary pick up where the last EP left off - pistoning rhythms, breakneck beats and monolithic bass, but this time the mood is more reflective and optimistic - skying cloud-like pads offer a dreamy counterpoint. Made between London and Berlin, following recent live shows at Berghain and Oval Space, Benjamin’s wanderlust and restless studio dynamic sees him continually breaking down his gear to travel, “Being on tour with all my gear I find it quite easy to work in new places,” he explains. “I like the energy of different cities and it's good to keep moving.” This new EP is announced ahead of a huge, all hardware live show at Sonar by Night in Barcelona. With ‘Malfunction/Binary’ sure to do the business and an album in progress for R&S scheduled for 2019 it’s going to be an exciting year ahead! More

R&S welcome techno icon Benjamin Damage to the fold with his new Montreal EP. One of most acclaimed young techno artists in recent times, Benjamin Damage is a perfect addition to the R&S roster. As the first artist Modeselektor signed to their hugely influential 50 Weapons imprint, Damage deployed his trademark heavy artillery beats over bold, blistering riffs and haunting, emotive melodies to devastating effect. With the closing of 50 Weapons, R&S offers a new home. His unique ability to deliver dancefloor destroying mayhem, dark atmospheres and richly textured melodies perfectly encompasses the music that has made the label timeless.
“Being part of R&S is a dream for me, I had some incredible times with 50 Weapons, some of the best of my life, and I was really sad to see it go. R&S have been so important to me artistically since a very young age. It was a very special feeling when they asked me to join up with them” Montreal, his first EP for the label, follows the crowning achievement of his stunning 2015 LP Obsidian; the last artist album to close 50 Weapons. Damage lives up to his name - three cuts of pulsating peak time mayhem, pummelling drums, shuffling iridescent synthwork and dreamy pads that manage to imbue the hedonistic spirit of the 90s while feeling fresh and vital.
A key part of Benjamin’s success has come from his incendiary live shows, road tested around the globe with Modeselektor and the 50 Weapons crew.
HIs fully hardware set is built around the pioneering handbuilt Cirklon sequencer. Damage is rearming to bring its full firepower to the upcoming R&S showcases. More

Benjamin Damage is back. His new EP on 50weapons features 3 banging clubtracks, some made with his newly aquired analogue TB 303 like the stunning ravy 'Acid Bath'. It is a feast for techno lovers with its hommage to the bleepy sounds from the golden era of the 90ies. Far from being retro in any way, the kick-heavy but well rounded sounds are Dancefloor fillers meant for the club prime time. Following his celebrated remix of Alan Fitzpatricks 'Confessions of a wanted man' this E.P. has Benjamin head further into techno territory leaving his UK Bass past only dimly recognizable in the bouncing euophoria of the lead melody's arpeggio on 'UP' the first track on the record. Aside from this 'Up' is a straight techhouse hit that is guaranteed to bring the hands 'Up' (pun intended) on the floor. This EP is surely going to find it´s way into tons of record bags over summer as it is strong enough to speak to huge festival crowds. More

Benjamin Damage´s brand new "4600 EP" is a homage to a rare analog synthesizer and a more dancefloor orientated follow up to the album "Heliosphere". It was performed live with resampled analogue synths, mainly the ETI 4600. Benjamin Damage: "Most of the source sounds come from my recently repaired ETI 4600, a massive synth I rescued from a garage it had been sitting in for 30 years. It's a really unique machine with a reverb chamber and pin matrix. It spent 18 months with a
synth-obsessive in Suffolk, north of London who fixed the major design faults and believes it is the only existing model that has ever worked properly." More

“Delirium Tremens”, one of the more club focused tracks of the album, gets a remix treatment by Detroit´s techno legend Robert Hood.
On the flipside Benjamin reworks his on tune into an extended long version for maximum impact. More

With Benjamin Damage presenting already his second album, it is easy to forget that he has only been releasing records since 2010.After 2 years of mainly collaborative work, the time was come for Benjamin to focus on some solo activities. He did a few remixes for Sizzar, Data Romance and others, followed by a strong techno single named "Swarm / Headache" released in October 2012, once again on 50WEAPONS. "Heliosphere" is a sonic sci-fi techno album reminiscent not just of early Plaid, Black Dog Productions, Boards of Canada or Luke Slater's 7th Plain project, but also classic dancefloor classics by the likes of Surgeon, Regis, Dave Clarke or Jeff Mills that knew how to keep a crowd entertained. It is bringing to mind the flavor of 1994 without losing the sense that we’re into 2013 as of now. "Heliosphere" is equally straight and beautiful, ear-catching murkier numbers, some merciless bangers, beautiful soundscapes ranging from melodic to dark, rough and sweet, all at once. "Heliosphere" is dance music with conviction. More

End of January 2012 Benjamin Damage released "They!Live" his album collaboration with Doc Daneeka. The album has received fantastic media feedback and was album of the month in several magazines all over the world including De:Bug (Germany), DJ Mag (UK) amongst others. Following a couple of collective shows now both, Doc Daneeka as well as Benjamin Damage, will focus on their solo activities for a while. "Swarm / Headache" is a bold solo statement. UK Techno reminiscent killer DJ tools. A reference to the heydays of techno with a fresh and nonchalant approach. More

Fresh from the success of his sellout collaboration with DJ Venom on the underground hit 'Deeper', Benjamin Damage is back. The first release on Doc Daneeka's ultra-on-point label 'Ten Thousand Yen' is still ringing in the ears of clubbers all over the world after being smashed by Modeselektor and his latest EP looks set to be even bigger. Following the release of his acclaimed debut solo vinyl 'Zeppelin' for Modeselektor's '50 Weapons label, Benjamin Damage returns with the eclectic 4 track EP 'Antidote' on his own ‘Solva’ label. Flying from the beautiful melodies of 'No Snares' and infectious rhythms of 'Run and Bounce' to the hard UK funky/techno hybrid '808 Rhythm' and pure main room energy bliss of 'Pump', this is an absolutely essential purchase.
