Looking back on more then one decade of intense involvement in the Trance scene, Benjamin Halfmann aka Audiomatic witnessed the rich evolution of this sub culture with all its innovations, variations and all its ups and downs.
Even more: During the years his project constantly gained quality and became a reference for sophisticated, high-functional Progressive Trance.
Therefore Audiomatic became an integral ingredient of this scene and has shaped its musical development with his unique sounds which have been part of legendary parties and festivals in 13 countries around the globe.

It all started with some powerful Heavy Metal: Benjamin Halfmann banged his head to the music of AC/DC and posters of Punk, Hardcore and Metal bands adorned the walls of his room up to the age of 15 years.
Then he discovered the fascinating worlds of Psy Trance and rapidly became engaged as a DJ, first public performances followed in 1999.
But soon a strong desire to convert his creativity into own music arose, and so Audiomatic got hungry for more.
His producer’s breakfast consisted of some tasty Fruity Loops and this simple production software instantly made him aware that the games on his computer were not only a waste of time, but also of hard disc space.

Not even one year later his music already convinced the label management of Leviathan Music and so the track “Woodstock” became the first official release in 2002. Various contributions on different compilations followed and the year 2004 delivered the first full length Album “Multiplayer”.
Together with Stefan “Magnetrixx” Lewin, who has always been a good friend and important source of inspiration for Benjamin Halfmann, the project “Audiomatrixx” was formed, gained euphoric feedback and also brought to life a studio album in 2008. The same year Audiomatic’s second album was released.

And that’s still not enough productivity: As a platform for musical variation and a reaction to the recent developments in the Progressive Trance scene, Benjamin Halfmann is now also running a side project under his civic name which dedicates rather techy and clubby tunes.

At the moment, Benjamin is busy with a lot new music, his last album was just released by “Spin Twist Records” in June 2008.

Audiomatic is Benjamin Halfmann from Bocholt (Germany), born on April, 17th, 1983. He had his first public appearances as a DJ in 1999, but he soon realized that his creativity enabled him to compose his own music. Thus, in the summer of 2001, Benjamin started to produce his own music and founded the “Audiomatic” project.

It took him less than a year to release his first track “Woodstock” on the “Leviathan Music” label, quickly followed by his next tracks on “AP Records”, “Nova Tekk” and “Tatsu Records”. In February 2004, “Tokyo Dance” released his debut album “Multiplayer”.

After a great number of gigs in Germany, he started to get engagements abroad. Since then he has had gigs in Japan, Brazil, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Netherland and Poland. In the days between his gigs Benjamin produced more tracks and remixes for “Sinn Tec Records”, “AP Records”, “Spintwist Records” and “Solarsiv Records” and worked as A & R for two labels. In 2005 he compiled a CD for “Sinn Tec Records”, which became one of the best selling CDs of this label, followed by another compilation for “Spintwist Records” a year later.

Together with Stefan “Magnetrixx” Lewin, Benjamin created the project “Audiomatrixx” and after getting very positive feedback to their first releases, they decided to intensify their cooperation in order to record an album and to appear as a live act together.

At the moment, Benjamin is busy with a lot new music, his last album was just released by “Spin Twist Records” in June 2008.
