Your track deserves a bassline that grooves, breathes, and speaks.
Bass is more than just low-end—it’s the heartbeat of your track.
From deep pocket grooves to raw, human-feel basslines inspired by Dilla, I’ll shape the low-end to fit your artistic vision.
With years of laying down Basslines for Beatproducers, Bands, HipHop Artists and Labels, my collabs with a multitude of diverse Artists has enriched a plethora of tracks with soulful, human-feel bass with warmth, movement, and storytelling to every note.
My approach is inspired by the emotive imperfections in Dilla's samples, ensuring every note tells a story. For me this translated into 500k monthly listeners on Spotify with my own Projects like my Beat Producer Alter-Ego "flamingo zamperoni" or the Experimental Rockband "bunsenburner" (listen to get more Examples of my work).
I studied Jazz & Popular Music at the International Music College Freiburg and was offered a Berklee scholarship. Instead of academia, I chose the real-world education of countless studio sessions and live tours over 20 years.
Every project includes a special Bonus ‘Jam-Take’—a little library of extra fills, slides, transitions, and out-of-the-box elements to give your track even more depth and flexibility. You can use these to paste them wherever you like and mix/arrange with the original Take upon your needs.

An incredibly talented musician with a very quick turnaround, though he does not sacrifice quality. Ben makes sure to give you everything you might want, and then some. His attention to creative detail is astounding and I cannot wait to work with him again for all my bass track needs.

Ben,
Played some heated bass on my track. He asked for a couple of revisions and the rest is history. Astounding turn around time. There will be no worries letting him handle the bass on your music. Ben's an A+ in my book.

Great first collaboration Ben!
Done very quickly with a great feel for groove and sound. Especially since the song was very demanding with a very strict template.
