‘John Bence’

From a family with a rich classical pedigree, Bence is firmly embedded in Bristol’s forward-facing electronic music culture. He pools a breadth of influence scarcely credible for a composer so young.

As a producer, he is already thinking ten steps ahead, often incorporating voice or home recorded percussion into his cyclical technique of scoring, recording, manipulating, re-scoring and re-recording in waves, creating heady, intoxicating ripples of harmony and noise.

An obscure snippet of dubplate drone under another moniker was enough for Nicolas Jaar, who instantly approached him about a release on his Other People label. This predicts a very exciting future!
