Find the thing you’re most passionate about and do it as much as possible: That’s been the approach of Benjamin Halfmann since 1999. His international success as a DJ, producer and mastering expert proves that he’s not only passionate about music, but also remarkably good at what he’s doing. It’s the infinite possibilities of Progressive Trance that sparks Benjamin’s creative enthusiasm for electronic grooves. When he starts DJing under the name Audiomatic in 1999 he has no idea that soon he will be an essential part of this relatively new genre himself. Looking back today, three albums, countless single tracks and a busy tour schedule with gigs on 5 continents are the milestones of his career. His intense scene involvement and the experience that came with it inspired Audiomatic eventually to take his creative activity to yet another level: Music mastering.
After hundreds of gigs on hundreds of soundsystems in hundreds of locations, Benjamin has a pretty good idea what a track should sound like – and what not. Together with his long-year experience this makes him as true mastering expert. A custom-build studio with a refined selection of analogue and digital equipment serves as the technological backbone for his mastering service. Since 2011 he’s doing the mastering for most of the releases of the prestigious Progressive Trance label SpinTwist Records, many of these tracks were on heavy rotation all around the world and reached Top 10 or even No. 1 rankings in Beatport’s Psytrance charts – and that’s just one prominent example from his long customer list.
