studio is benny’s 5th studio album. not just casually called by its name. no, there is something else happening here. the word ‘studio’ originates from the latin word ‘studium’, which stands for ‘studying’. the studio is the place where painters, artists and musicians learn, study and create. it’s the place where benny is most comfortable. benny’s amsterdam based studio has an amazing view of the canals. studio is an ode to this place, which he built 4 years ago, and everything it has brought him. because it brought him more than just the music he produced there. it gave him his place in the world and with it so many other things. all of which is to be heard on his new album. you find him exposing true love, follow his search for a home, he opens up about settling down and he speaks of breaking through old patterns in which he found himself being stuck for years.

somewhere deep in the andromeda galaxy lies the mysterious planet wasteland. little is known. though, rumor says it inhabits lifeforms from all over the laniakea supercluster. these lifeforms have only one thing in common: on their home planet they are part of the mutant society. as an exclusive product for members of the mutant society on earth, radio matrix recorded the auditory data from its latest visitor, delta funktionen. spread over 4 ep s and compiled on this cd, it tells the intense story of his journey towards wasteland.

los massieras see themselves as legitimate psychedelic explorers sonically adventuring into dark territories and furry textures. their concrete, minimal electronics, trance inducing percussive sounds and mutant disco influences are drone infected, with slight dub inflections and sometimes even an unusual cold & poppy feel, if you care to consider the residents a pop band.

a distant shadow of a woman with jet black stringy hair glistened through the nearby shrubbery. was it her, or was i again lost in my own dementia? how in the living world could this be? i sipped on my medicine and fell into a deep sleep. i awoke days later to see her sooty eyeballs rolling over my entire body. her black wings seemed to stretch over a mile wide. they ever so subtly fluttered from the slow wind that was creeping in from the north. i startled when i realized what was happening and sprung up from my chemically induced coma. i grabbed her by the neck as tight as i could, only to realize that i was holding a black birds tail feather in my hand.
