 Jeff Bennett´s earliest influences came from Detroit based acts like Derrik May, Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, but also from Richie Hawtin´s label Plus 8. But Jeff was influenced by European acts such as Stefan Roberts, 808 State, The KLF, Terry Lee Brown Junior and labels like Poker Flat, Svek, Plastic City or Circulation and loads of Reggae and Dub artists. After a couple of 12" on imprints like Plastic City, Middle Rec, KGBeats, Zebra3, Sensai and many more it´s time for Jeff Bennett to present his new album on Plastic City: Endwise! Jeff is always in the studio or on the road, playing clubs across the globe like the hollowed Fabric in London.
All these different influences he was gathering around the world for years you can hear on this album in a compact and impressive way, creating new vibes, new sounds and a complete new sound aesthetic. And of course you can hear the experience and knowledge of a producer who can look on more than 50 releases. Consequently Captain Jeff Bennett is steering his Yacht in the name of "Endwise" through the oceans of soundaesthetics, cruising with sensitiveness and the correct intuition for the right sound selection between the dubby, housy, progressive and clubby island world. Jeff Bennett is exploring the last blank spots on the musical map gently but forcefully. With "Endwise" Jeff Bennett has created the perfect sound symbiosis: dense, atmospheric and organic sound structures - compact and showing the easiness of being at the same time. Laissez faire meets dolce far niente, with a adequate portion of melancholy and dozens of good vibes.
