The first artist signed to 50Weapons and released the last artist album to close the label. Now signed to R&S Records.

 

Benjamin Damage’s roots lie firmly within the UK’s underground. Drawing from early rave to jungle to nineties house, Benjamin’s non-purist approach to techno produces energy and emotion rarely found in modern electronic music.

 

 

Through 50 Weapons, Damage releases teamed brutal indulgence with moments of atmospheric tension and tenderness, culminating in the release of his stunning debut solo album ‘Heliosphere’ in 2013.

 

Hailed by critics as a return of soul and warmth to the cold industrial world of Berlin techno, ‘Heliosphere’ was hallmarked by contrast very present in the artist himself.

 

Creating the live show for ‘Heliosphere’ saw Benjamin return to his roots, combining machines of early electronic influences with the latest in music technology. Abandoning the stage laptop, Damage delivers a truly live electronic techno performance, taking elements of his original tracks and recreating them in a new form for every show. His all hardware setup premiered at Fabric in 2014 and was heavily refreshed in 2018 with debut shows in Oval Space and Berghain.

 

 

As 50Weapons closed, RA included the label in their top of 2015 and concluded, "The real gem, though, was an album of teary techno from Benjamin Damage, one of the label's best and longest-serving artists. R.I.P. indeed."

 

 

Benjamin in 2017release the "Montreal" EP. Malfunction / Binary was released in July 2018 with a full album to follow in 2019. Benjamin "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"

 

And the amazing part of the “ Cosmos Pulse ” party is, BENJAMIN DAMAGE will bring a 90min-long live show. You should not miss that!
